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…

BEATLES NEW SONG / WHAT DO WE KNOW?
The Beatles have casually dropped a tweet that’s got everyone’s knickers in a twist. It’s a link to their website where there’s a graphic of a cassette. There’s already some clues to be worked out too, for the eagled eyed. First, let’s look at the cassette. You can zoom in a bit harder when you’re…

FEMALE AFRICAN SUPERGROUP / LES AMAZONES D’AFRIQUE
If you haven’t heard of the ace supergroup made up of African women, you need to sort that out now. They’re called Les Amazones d’Afrique, and they have a new single out called ‘Kuma Fo (What They Say)’, and it’s ace electronics with trad African music sung in native languages from Mali, Benin, Burkina Faso,…

GREAT LATE CAREER SONGS
It always feels like music is destined for the young, but sometimes, artists hit a late career high and have a hit long after a supposed imperial period. Artists of a certain vintage (and some not so old, obviously) find a new voice, often with a more mature sound or finding new creativity in age.…
