WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Meet Kavi Sharma. Kavi is a doll that makes bangers, and that’s very obviously a fun thing. See, where music production used to be the playground of old lads with hairy ears and stoners, technology has opened it up to everyone, and now, very young people can do it themselves and actual children can aspire…

The Brit Awards (remember those?) is coming in for some justifiable stick this week, as they’ve completely failed to recognise any women in their Best British Artist category. So, what we’ll do is try our best to give them the benefit of the doubt while simultaneously rinsing them and pointing out the women that absolutely…

Paramore have not had an easy ride. When they first appeared on the scene proper, they found themselves working just about as hard as a band can work in the middle of a number of Vans Warped tour where, unsurprisingly for an event made up of frat boys pretending to be skaters and a load…

He’s good is 03 Greedo. A fine rapper indeed. And he’s surprised everyone by dropping a new tape (not a literal tape of course, but that’d be nice if he did). The new release is called ‘FREE 03’ and has 15 songs for you to listen to. It has guesties from the late Drakeo the…

‘Electronic Sound’ isn’t exactly at the front of people’s brains when it comes to Beatle Solo LPs. However, it is one of the more interesting cuts, from a vault that is possibly the most interesting and varied of off-shoot projects of any rock group. This is George Harrison of ‘My Sweet Lord’ lawsuit fame, and…
-
Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off…

At the turn of the ’80s, the yoof TV show Something Else had a great featurette on punk in Belfast. If you like local scenes, spotty kids and derelict streets, you’re in for a treat! Of course, ’80s Northern Ireland means – by law – you have to mention sectarianism and The Troubles. We’ve now…
-
Everything But The Girl are back and it’s easy to worry about such a thing, because older acts can embarrass themselves sometimes. Not the case with Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt though because they love pop music and don’t muck around. It’s their first new tune in 24 years and it’s called ‘Nothing Left To…
-
Not one of our writers really knows anything about K-Pop because historically, we’ve always covered rock and indie music. However, rock and indie fans don’t generate as much internet traffic as they used to and K-Pop fans apparently do, so we’re going to pretend we’ve always had a soft spot for pop music, and cover…

TELL YOUR MUM THE LEMONHEADS ARE DOING STUFF
The Lemonheads are coming back and your mum is going to be thrilled. Or maybe you’re the thrilled mum? We don’t use mum in a derogatory way, like only stoopid girls like Evan Dando’s music, because women have always had impeccable taste in music and, it’s no secret that Dando’s brand of jangly indie is a…

INDIE SLEAZE COMEBACK / THE GOSSIP RETURN
Remember Indie Sleaze? You should, because a load of people who loved it an university and sixth form are now the age where they’re editing music pages in broadsheets and making documentaries and all that, so it’s about to go full-blown-revival. The fashion was chaotic and fun, and there were some decent tunes in there…

GOOD GOD THIS CAKES DA KILLA TRACK IS GOOD
If you’ve been jonesing for that breakneck Missy-esque beat of yesteryear with a quick flow skating over the top, you’re about to have a real good time with this new one from Cakes Da Killa. Clubby as hell, ‘Cakewalk’ takes some inspo from calling out the mess that someone’s partner has created. They say: “‘Cakewalk’…

REVIEW / ANDRE 3000 / NEW BLUE SUN
“I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A “Rap” Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time” If the opening track title didn’t address the concerns of hip hop fans wanting bars and beats from Andre 3000’s first album in almost two decades, then we don’t know what to tell…
