Bring Me The Horizon – That’s The Spirit review
A few months back, functioning on a sugar high from too many cheap energy drinks, I reviewed Sheffield rock band Bring Me The Horizon’s new EP Throne which showcased the eponymous track as well as Happy Song. I was surprised to say the least, less about the fact it was a sweet but short release…

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…

Foals- What Went Down review
“Their heaviest, loudest album yet.” Apple music’s simple description of Oxford rockers Foals’ fourth album may be short but as soon as the eponymously titled intro track What Went Down kicks off with a barrage of godzilla sized synths and riffs then you know those five words perfectly capture the sound this album dwells in. Not…

Kanye West Glastonbury review
To call Kanye West the most famous/infamous modern day musician in the world would be the understatement of the year. In his career that has spanned over more than a decade, the rapper who was raised in Chicago has faced controversy on more occasions than the likes of Katie Hopkins. However nothing he has done was as…

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…

Simp-ye the best: Kanye West’s best tracks
Love him, hate him or just undecided, it’s impossible in this day of social media and smartphones to avoid the outspoken superstar that is Kanye West. Ever since he released debut album The College Dropout in 2004, my personal favourite, Kanye/Yeezus/Yeezy/Ye hasn’t shied away from controversy, most notably storming on stage during Taylor Swift’s VMA win…

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…

BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2015 Review, 23/05/2015 – 24/05/2015
Festival season is coming. Soon the flower head dresses will be donned, the tents miserably pitched up and the cliché face-paint put on by every guy in sight (happy/sad to admit I did the same at T last year). With Glastonbury just under a month away, the BBC have got music fans hyped for the…

Review: Tyler The Creator, Barrowlands, Glasgow – May 12th 2015
A sea of supreme hoodie wearing teens pass a fan’s phone on stage to Odd Future leader and star of tonight Tyler The Creator. It’s clear from the moment he answers the phone he’s not the nicest guy about. “We’re all having so much fun here, enjoy your miserable night loser!” he tells the friend,…

Review: Twin Atlantic, SSE Hydro, Glasgow – May 9th 2015
Twin Atlantic are sort of a big deal. Forming in 2007, the band, comprising of Sam McTrusty, Barry McKenna, Ross McNae and Craig Kneale, have taken a page out of fellow Scots Biffy Clyro’s book and have tackled every rung of the ladder to get to the stage where they can fill an arena of…
