WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you look at the bottom of the image above, you’ll see a teeny-weeny U2 playing in front of one of the most dazzling spectacles anyone’s likely to see. The group have taken up residency at the Vegas Sphere which is one of the most incredible live spaces ever seen, with a more-than-HD screen that…

The marvellous folks over at Munster have another banger of a reissue on the go, and this time it’s the fabulous Fruko LP from 1973 called ‘El Violento’. It’s dancefloor dynamite and full to bursting with super hot salsa music that’ll blow your head clean off! If you like Fania records and all that good…
-
Phoenix AZ’s Holy Fawn make music which is hard to pinpoint. Variously, it’s been referred to as ‘doomgaze’, ‘post-black metal’, and other heavy things. It’s a bit shoegazey, for sure, but harder. And weirder [non-derogatory]. It’s tremendously brain frying, which is always fun to do to yourself. Well, they have a new track out called…
-
Daft Punk may have press the self destruct button on themselves, but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting treats from the duo. They’ve released a drumless version of ‘Within’ and, rather predictably, it’s great. This is to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ‘Random Access Memories’, possibly. Whatever the reason, it’s a neat little release that…
-
You could call it alt-rap we suppose, but we’re a bit loathed to do it. Fact is, this is not mainstream hip hop and comes with a big dollop of soulfulness that makes it worth a listen. It’s hotly tipped duo H31R who hail from New York and they’ve got a new single out from…
-
March 30th, 1981, in the mid afternoon outside the Hilton in Washington DC, six shots ring out and Ronald Reagan is unceremoniously bundled into a car. His press secretary lies critically wounded on the floor, and injured too are a secret service agent and a police officer. The President of the United States of America…

Peru is responsible for some of the greatest psychedelic music ever recorded – much of it based in a love of The Beatles and Paul McCartney. However, for fans of heavier stuff, you need to get on Tarkus and fast! Munster Records (ever brilliant) have reissued the group’s sole LP, which has influences of Black…
-
Portable Radio – talented and handsome – have released a third track from the forthcoming ‘Counting To Three’ LP, this time, a disco ballad called ‘Where There Is Love’. There’s a lyric video so you can singalong. The album is available to pre-order here and is available as a download or – and we imagine…

Lynks (formerly Lynks Afrikka, which is one of the best monikers we’ve ever seen, honestly) is back with a certified slapper with ‘New Boyfriend’ and that heralds a new tour for 2024 too! Talking to the NME, they said: “peaking about the track, Lynks said: “”Look, ultimately I think I’m a fairly smart, reasonable, logical…
-
The band are called O. and that’s almost impossible to search for on the internet, which is fine and very post-modern and all, but we’re not here to judge. Fact is, they’ve been signed to Speedy Wunderground and that’s a label that does cool stuff, so this is going to be cool right? You bet!…

DOECHII NEW ONE SLAPS
Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the…

UPPERS ONLY FROM CONFIDENCE MAN (AGAIN)
It is kinda funny that Charli XCX announced BRAT SUMMER when Confidence Man have been acting up for ages now, sneering and partying like the world might end tomorrow. With that, they’ve got a new song out called ‘SO WHAT’ which is the usual mixture of pouting and hedonism which is difficult to pull off…
-
BLESSED MADONNA BOP
After a well advised name-change, The Blessed Madonna has a new track out and it sounds like a weekend banger to us. It is called ‘Godspeed’ and features DJ E-Clyps. Very nice. The Blessed Madonna will be releasing her first full length LP and that’ll drop in October so we’ve a while to wait yet.…

CHRISSIE HYNDE NOT BOTHERED BY PRESTIGE
Y’know, it is nice to hear someone who has been there and done it, say that they’re not bothered by a lot of the trappings that comes with being a big ticket road dog. Chrissie Hynde and her Pretenders have forged a very successful career for decades now, so it’s not like she doesn’t know…
