WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You can be mildly irritated by things. Not everything has to be full blown hot take, does it? And the fact is, while Harry Styles seems like a decent enough fella, he’s mildly irritating us. A couple of really good pop songs and all that, the press run for ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ just made us…

One of the most influential people in British bass culture has sadly left the building. Jah Shaka is a magnificently important person when it comes to soundsystem culture in the UK, in part, paving the way for so much music that follow in his footsteps. Born in Jamaica, part of the post-Windrush wave, based in…

Let’s face it – there’s not many better names on the front of a record than Ross From Friends. We can only think of DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ as one we like more. For those not initiated, Ross From Friends makes dance music and a lot of it absolutely slaps. And handily, there’s a…

When Dawn Richard releases new music, you owe it to yourself to listen up. She’s terrifically underrated and versatile and time and time again, she makes wonderful and interesting things. With that, she’s back, and we’re thrilled! The new song is called ‘Bubblegum’ and it’s a whole tonne of maximum fun. Richard has gone super…

Sometimes, good music feels like it actively nourishes you and one such band that are better than vitamins are Sweden’s Dina Ögon. Seriously – you’ll actively feel better about your insides after listening to them. So what’s the deal? Well, two albums in, the group are melding styles that are all as wonderful as each…

This is some Eurovision news, but only the semi-final, so don’t get too worked up. You read Rita Ora in the headline and either got excited or irritated. Calm your boots, there’s plenty of time for pithiness yet. Besides, there’s something quite fun to talk about, but we’ll get to that. Rita Ora, again making…

Most famous for being a lead in the 5th Dimension, Marilyn McCoo is obviously a wonderful, wonderful singer. If you’ve ever listened to the harmony group, you’ll already know what a gorgeous singing voice she has. She’s been party to a number of fabulous hits and when she went solo, not as successful as in…

John Cameron is a British music legend and you’ll definitely know his work knowingly or otherwise. If you’re wondering who he is, then if you’ve watched ‘Kes’, that’s him doing the soundtrack (and what a perfect soundtrack it is). If you’ve listened to Donovan, then he pretty much did the arrangements on all of Donovan’s…

This is 100% going to be an article that rants about the state of Twitter with the incredibly thin premise of being music related, because Doja Cat has said something funny about it. If you’re desperate for a Doja Cat music angle take – yes, she’s been a bit problematic and dim, and her next…

GOOD MESSAGE FROM SPORTS TEAM
We really like the message behind the new single from Sports Team. A lot of songs keep their messages coded, but ‘Sensible’ is not one of those songs, ripping into self-help nonsense that blights us right now. Rob Knaggs says the new track is “about the myth of betterment. ‘Go to the gym. Get ripped!…

DERADOORIAN GIVE COOL ESG CHUG
Deradoorian are a new name to us, but we just heard ‘No No Yes Yes’ and we immediately started thinking about Dinosaur L, ESG, and all that fun punky disco from NYC that makes you want to wreck your trainers in a squat rave! There’s a new album on the way ‘Ready for Heaven’ coming out…

ARE WOLF ALICE COMING BACK?
Wolf Alice are one of the cooler pop-adjacent rock groups out there, so it is good to hear the distant rumbling of a comeback for them. It might all be a bit vague, but the rumblings are pretty loud. Over on Twitter, a band tweeted that they’d “had a dream last night that wolf alice…

SPORTS BANGER X KLF
Do you like Sports Banger attire? Do you like The KLF? Well, of a fashion, the two are teaming up and you can buy cool shit for a cool cause while you’re at it. Banger are opening the studio doors next Thursday where they promise “drinks, music and bricks” to celebrate the launch of K2…
