Pink Floyd are going to be doing a whole load of things for the anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon. It’ll be 50 and there’s going to be deluxe boxsets and all that stuff, which honestly, you can go and find out about yourself because we’re only mentioning this because the anniversary happens to…

Bona fide legend and founding member of two of America’s greatest ever groups, David Crosby, has passed away aged a remarkable 81. Founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Croz has left a musical footprint that’ll take some filling. His wife released a statement to Variety: “It is with great sadness after a…

Reissues are great aren’t they? Sometimes original pressings are hard to get hold of. Sometimes they’re prohibitively expensive. Sometimes the original pressing sounds like dogshit. Sometimes the vinyl is flimsy. Sometimes you’ve worn your copy out and would like a fresh one for the turntable. So with that, Rhino are reissuing ‘Burgers’, the 1972 LP…

Do you remember Boygenius? Basically, it was a supergroup of Phoebe Bridgers (now very famous), Lucy Dacus (quite famous) and Julien Baker (also quite famous) and they released an EP, before all three kinda exploded. Well, they’re getting the band back together and there’s new music and some live shows as well. Awkwardly, the album…

Suzi Quatro is going to play the hits as part of a run of shows celebrating the 50th anniversary of her first number one and gigantic banger, ‘Can The Can’. The Detroit legend said: “I am now in my 59th year in this business! Last year I played the Royal Albert Hall and was high…

Yaeji is great. In a way, that’s about a much as you need to know, but we’ll humour you and write a little more. Mixing bonkers day-glo electronics, house and hip-hop with cutesy, intimate vocals, Yaeji is prolific and fun! The ‘What We Drew’ mixtape released in 2020 was a firm favourite here, and now,…

It isn’t easy remembering long band names. Sometimes your brain switches off while you’re saying them out loud, and words just start to fall out. So with that, we look at Noel Gallagher’s band – the High Flying Birds. Are they even called that? We’d check but we’re lazy. Pretty sure they’re called that. They’ve…

Ye, the artist formerly known as but ostensibly still known as Kanye West, has gone missing. Why? Well, everything. His fall from grace has been well documented, making for a disappointing time for fans of his music and a boring SEE I TOLD YOU from people who are a bit racist when a rapper acts…

SAULT / IT MIGHT BE OVER
Bad news for fans of SAULT – it all might be over, and as ever, the root of all evil is money. See, Little Simz has sued producer and SAULT collaborator Inflo over £1.7 million – a sum not to be sniffed at. The claim was filed in January, and Inflo was accused of withholding…

EUROVISION 2025 / LOOKING AHEAD
Some of the songs that will feature in the 2025 have been released, but not all. We looked at the betting for some of these songs, and honestly, we can’t see how they’ve fallen like they have, but we only have our gut to work with, rather than analytics and whatnot. The favourites at the…

WU LYF COMING BACK?
Remember WU LYF? Well, to many, they were a brief but seminal band. Hailing from Manchester, the group broke up, and went off to do their own thing. Francis Lung emerged, as did Lost Under Heaven. Now, it seems like the old band are getting back together, heralded by a countdown clock on a site.…

NEW HAIM
Haim have a new song out and, honestly, it sounds just like a Haim track. We mean that in the nicest possible way, as it’s filled with fun, harmonies and groovy business. It’s the group’s first new music since 2023, and it is called ‘Relationships’ and honestly, they’re famous enough that they don’t need our…
