WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

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…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

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…

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.…

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…

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. 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…

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…

SUPER SOUNDS OF THE SEVENTIES FROM SINKANE
Look, there’s no point pretending that the soul music released during the 1970s isn’t one of mankind’s greatest ever achievements. With that in mind, it’s not surprising that so many artists draw inspiration from that period. Sinkane’s new one – in tandem with Tru Osborne – is exactly that, and called ‘Everything Is Everything’ and…

TIERRA WHACK / BACK AND IT SLAPS
Tierra Whack makes ace music and has confirmed that a new LP is on the way. She has a new single out to whet our whistles in the meantime, and it’s called ‘Chanel Pit’ and it’s a stop-start banger that has echoes of prime Missy Elliott on the drum machine beat, if more trappy sparse.…

GIRLS ALOUD 2024
We ranked every Girls Aloud single simply because we love them. We’d like to say we had inside information on them making a comeback, but we didn’t. We could pretend we did, but honesty is in such short supply in music journalism that we’re not going to try putting you on. The thing is though,…
