Review: Mac DeMarco @ O2 ABC – 7th September
Mac DeMarco is a bit of a weird yet charming character if you didn’t know already. If he isn’t tagging “camel pussy warehouse” as his location on Instagram posts then he’s paying fans 69 cent for covers of his songs or telling them his address at the end of his albums. The atmosphere was calm…

5 Albums Celebrating Huge Birthdays in 2015
Birthdays. For those of us who respire and are reading this incoherent rambling right now, it’s a milestone where we drink and eat lots to ignore the fact we’re one year closer to our inevitable deaths but for albums, it’s a little bit less depressing.

Fresh future ahead for Foals?
12 seconds. That’s all it took for for Foals teaser trailer, simply titled 2015, to set Twitter’s music community on fire. Although fans knew there was an album in the making, this was the first glimpse of album number 4 and I’m not kidding when I say glimpse. Out of the 12 seconds, the majority…

Jamie XX – In Colour review
The XX are without a doubt one of the most divisive bands to come out in the last 5 years. Ever since they came onto the scene in 2010 with their eponymous titled debut album and managed to beat big name artists like Biffy Clyro and Foals for the prestigious Mercury Prize award, they’ve managed…

The Revival of Vinyl
Just like the weather, music is unpredictable by nature. If it were to abide by a set of rules then many of the greatest artists the world has ever known wouldn’t be around as every song would be a bland rehash of another. The same can be said in the way that music is produced.…

CLASSIC REVIEW: The Strokes – Is This It
Whether you like to call it the 2000’s or the noughties,there’s no doubt that the decade was a very exciting time for music as not only were applauded albums by former well praised bands released, Radiohead’s Kid A as an example, but the new wave of bands not only surprised critics but intrigued them as…

Chvrches – The Bones Of What You Believe
Now this album could have gone horribly wrong. Chvrches could have produced a bland album with repetitive and dull songs and been a total let down from the potential they had shown on their previous EP’s as well the hype they had accumulated on the music scene.Thankfully this is not the case with The Bones…
