You know something? It’s really great to hear someone yell their head off on a rap track. It’s all been a bit xannied out for a while, or sad-boi, lonely-at-the-top ‘tune, and it’s little wonder people have been gravitating toward a bit of personality and spark. And so, to Sudan Archives’ new one, ‘Ms Pac…

When people acting in bad faith start complaining about pop going woke, it’s funny to think about how political pop used to be and just how much politicians hated people who spoke out about them. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a literal FBI file on them and Elvis snitched to Nixon about the pair,…

No, not a snuff movie – don’t be silly now. Depeche Mode have teamed up with Mexican director Fernando Frias for a new movie which looks at the Mexican relationship with dying, with the group squarely in the film itself. Rather than acting, ‘M’ will revolve around live footage of the group during their ‘Memento…
