TRACK REVIEW: Skepta – Man
The unprecedented growth of Grime was one of the defining moments of British music last year. While it may have been overlooked by the Brits, which has thankfully been balanced out by the recent Ivor Novello nominations, you’ll be hard done to find someone who didn’t hear Skepta’s Shutdown blaring at any point in 2015 as the…

Thoughts On: Coachella 2016
There’s an ongoing joke about the cleanliness at Coachella: compared to the rugged, filthy conditions that music lovers at UK festivals thrive in, the California located event is the aftermath of a cillit bang advert.

Aziz Ansari and Eric Wareheim Just Made The Best Kanye Music Video Yet
Comedians and Kanye West seem to go hand in hand. First Zach Galifianakis, that bearded fella from The Hangover, created an alternative video for Can’t Tell Me Nothing off his third LP Graduation before James Franco and Seth Rogen’s popular spoof of Bound 2 came around.

ALBUM REVIEW: Deftones – Gore
Gore is certainly a hostile LP though it is one that finds brief moments of tranquility, making sure that listeners don’t become desensitised to the band’s heavy hitting music and lyrics.

EP REVIEW: Death Grips – Interview 2016
Reviewing a release from Death Grips is never easy.

ALBUM REVIEW: The Last Shadow Puppets – Everything You’ve Came To Expect
The number one rule for races is to never use up all your energy at once. For the Miles Kane and Alex Turner duo The Last Shadow Puppets, their latest album is a marathon they’ve been preparing for the better part of 8 years and they’ve not been sitting on their arses while waiting. Miles…
