WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Not every day is a new day. Sometimes, you just have to accept that, but then remember that there’s things we forgot to mention. Like our latest radio show, which came out recently. It’s not time sensitive, so you can listen to it whenever you like. Great music from all over the world, with an

Grazia are an indie garage glam punk pop band from London, and they’ve got a stomper out called ‘Cheap’, which tells you everything you need to know about what’s coming when you press play. And it’s great fun! Their debut EP is out in Feb, and that’s called ‘In Poor Taste’ – catching the vibe
-
The amount of non-English performers making waves worldwide is incredibly satisfying to see, because frankly, it’s weird to only listen to music you understand the words of. You telling us that everyone could understand the opening verse of ‘Geno’ when it first came out? Behave yourselves. Anyway, let’s have a listen to the new one
-
We don’t know what’s in the water down Tampa Bay, but They Hate Change have a new one out that falls squarely in the experimental rap hole, and that’s no bad thing. Don’t worry – it’s listenable and fun – it’s not circuit board screaming gloom. They have a new EP out called ‘Wish You
-
What happens when you mix German cosmic prog and Chicago post-rock? Well, you get Dog Unit’s new track called ‘When Do We Start Fighting?’ and it’s sounding really good on first listen! The group hail from London and there’s going to be a new LP in April called ‘At Home’. You can buy music from

The Gossip are coming back, the Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs rubbed shoulders with LCD Soundsystem on the ‘Meet Me In The Bathroom’ documentary, and it’s all well and good and it’s encouraging to see a load of loud, fun music making a comeback. However, we’re much more interested in a revival of skuzzy, super

Frank Farian’s impact on pop music is so enormous, it’s hard to fully comprehend it’s scope. And yet, Farian is not a household name despite being responsible for over 850 million record sales. Born in post-war Germany, Farian had a go at his own pop career, covering ‘Mr Pitiful’ and landing a hit with a
-
Tierra Whack is ace, and so it’s ace that she’s announced an album we can all listen to! It’s the first long player we’ve had since her first which was a good few years ago now. This new one is called ‘World Wide Whack’, which is a fine title for an LP we think! She’s

When it comes to music from the 1960s, there’s a wealth of artists that are mentioned, but not nearly enough, is praise for perhaps the greatest girl group of them all – the Shangri Las. Rebellious, street-tuff, but importantly, emotional and spoke of the realities of being young women. The talk of the shock of

Karriem Riggins and Madlib are a bit of a dreamteam, and they’re releasing ‘Massamba Afundance’, which is the second single from their upcoming Jahari Massamba Unit LP, album ‘YHWH is LOVE’ which is out March 1st. It’s a groovy, jazzy, percussive affair. You’ll like it if you like either of the aforementioned names. We do. It sounds very record collectory. In

GOAT // NEW COSMIC PSYCH
Goat are Swedish, mysterious, and fucking amazing. A lot of modern psychedelic music focuses on one of two things – a) Hazy, pastoral music, b) Jam band fuzz wig-outs. Not Goat. They’re truly psychedelic in that they feel like they come from somewhere completely alien to the rest of us and dress the part while…

FLO MILLI NEW STUFF
Flo Milli – purveyor of very fun shit – has a new album due, and to celebrate that fact, there’s a new track for you to listen to. Two things – 1. It’s called ‘Fruit Loop’; 2. The video looks like a pre-recorded SNL bit. With Ice Spice shaking her ass in the deli, and…

THE LINDA LINDAS BRING THE NOISE
Remember we told you The Linda Lindas were bringing back fun punk? Well, they’re back again, but this time with something even heavier. And, mercifully, even more fun. When we say fun, we mean Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fun. We want to load the second instalment of the game up with all the cheats loaded,…

FACE DOWN IS JERSEY BADNESS
Here we go! We’ve been needing hip hop to get a bit of a kick in the pants and this Jersey sound is just the thing to do it. With that, a new track that you need to get your lugs ’round. It’s by MCVERTT and features Sexxy Red and A$AP Ferg and called ‘Face…
