ALBUM REVIEW: Radiohead – A Moon Shaped Pool
Band Adulthood – a term coined in an interview in the back catalogues of music aficionados Pitchfork. In layman’s terms, a band’s adulthood is when they’ll start to release albums that, for the average listener, is passable but for the devotees is another milestone in their favourite band’s discography. This is usually around the time…

TRACK REVIEW: Soul Of Bass – Just The Thing
While many of us are able to leave our teenage creations and names behind us (MSN’s destruction has lead to a lot of cringe worthy material disappearing from the face of the planet), Ƶed Dew is not so lucky. Naming his “Internet Indie at its finest” project Soul Of Bass at the age of 14 is…

RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW: Hector Bizerk @ West Of The Moon
Scottish hip hop was the focus in Ayr on February 22nd, a sentence I never thought I’d ever have to type in my career as a journalist (first time for everything, eh?). Having supported some genre heavyweights like Wu-Tang Clan and MF DOOM, Hector Bizerk were all set to take The West Of The Moon by…

TRACK REVIEW: Blink-182 – Bored To Death
How much of what makes blink-182 is still there? Just like the transhumanism question, many wonder if the band can still be what many fans fell in love with after the departure of founding member Tom DeLonge and subsequent addition of Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba. Now that we’ve got our first taste of the new…

TRACK REVIEW: SWAY – Blossom
Hailing from Glasgow, self professed shoegazers SWAY are emerging at a time where the Scottish music scene seems to be becoming even more diverse with various acts taking a page out of the reverb heavy books of DIIV and co. While this may be worrying at first, there are only so many all caps titled…

ALBUM REVIEW: HOVVDY – Taster
Blame my appreciation of anything the slightest bit moody or my unfiltered love of music that resembles American Football’s atmospheric debut but HOVVDY are without a doubt the best act to have came out in 2016 so far. While they’ve been creating tracks for two years now, the release of Taster, their debut album, the…

TRACK REVIEW: Pema – My Intentions Are Good
“Am I doing this right?” questions pop newcomer Pema, real name Alex Cohen, over a simple trumpet accompanied beat and, truth be told, she is. Having went from playing in the band Alex Napping to going solo, she’s swapped out indie rock for electro pop and on My Intentions Are Good, the transition has been fairly…

TRACK REVIEW: Pretty Citizens – Lost Control
Pretty Citizens are a pretty solid jack of all trades kind of band, especially upon the first listening of their latest single Lost Control, set to release on April 22nd. Slick, shoegaze dipped and seductive as fuck, the up and coming Nottingham act furnish this track with a groove that wouldn’t go amiss on a…
