WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • NEON LOVELINESS FROM MEGA BOG

    Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

  • DORTHIA COTTRELL’S DARK HEAVY PSYCH

    There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

  • WHAT IS IT WITH K-POP AND FASCISM?

    These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.…

  • FLO TEAM UP WITH MISSY

    If you asked ‘Missy who?’ after reading that headline, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. Anyway, there’s been a lot of noise around FLO this past year, and Pop Justice’s Peter Robinson is a fan and genuinely, that’s something you should always take notice of. They won a BRIT Award, so they’re absolutely…

  • WE SUPPOSE WE’LL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE OASIS REUNION

    Initially, this article was just going to be a video of a very tired, very angry baby. We bailed on the idea, because that one time someone reviewed a Jet LP with nothing more than a video of a chimp drinking it’s own piss was effectively the pinnacle of that kind of thing, and has…

  • BONGZILLA WITH MORE HEAVY SOUP PSYCH

    BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll…

  • COME ON LET’S GOAT!

    Goat released a behemoth of an LP called ‘Oh Death’ much to everyone’s surprise, and now they’re surprising us all again with a new EP called ‘Seu Sangue’ (due out on April 14th, somewhat lessening the surprise when it actually drops). The EP will herald a tour of the UK (and other places) and it’s…

  • CHEMICAL BROTHERS: NO REASON

    The Chemical Brothers – there’s no-one quite like them. Weird, heady drug music, but still a boatload of fun. Well, they’re back with a new thing. In fact, it’s the first new thing since 2021, which is nice. As ever, they’re back with a very heady drug video (that’s still a boatload of fun) and…

  • NEW MAC MILLER LP

    Hip hop’s nicest boy, Mac Miller left us too young. However, good news for fans is that there’s more music for you with a posthumous release called ‘Balloonerism’, which people attending Camp Flog Gnaw got a glimpse of recently. Miller’s estate are making the whole thing official and the LP will be released in January.…

  • LENNON LETTER TO CLAPTON TO FORM BAND

    It can be fun thinking about alternate realities, where a one decision turned into another. In this instance, it’s John Lennon and Eric Clapton forming a band after The Beatles broke up. Jeez, that would have been one toxic set-up, right? Well, a draft copy of a letter written by Lennon in 1971 to Clapton…

  • CRITICISING BAND AID IS… WAIT… WOKE NOW?

    There’s going to be a new version of Band Aid’s ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ out this year and y’know, it’s a song that’s done a lot of good, even if it isn’t a perfect thing. There’s a lot to be said about it, the narrative of the lyrics, how much good is has actually…

  • DRAKE WON’T ACCEPT DEFEAT SO HE’S GOT THE LAWYERS OUT

    Rap beefs are often ugly affairs, but by and large, no-one acts like a total baby. Sure, people may wave the white flag with their tail between their legs, but they don’t snitch about it. However, not all rappers are Drake who, while still dizzyingly popular (don’t doubt that), is really taking this particular Kendrick…
