WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Peggy Gou is a goodtime producer and the South Korean DJ and music-maker has a new bop out which is perfect for the incoming good weather. It’s called ‘Lobster Telephone’ (inspired by the Dali piece, you’d assume) and is taken from her imminent debut LP on XL Records called ‘I Hear You’. Of the new
-
The Balearics have long been a destination for partygoers and obviously, that comes with its own unique set of problems. Notably, the problems come in the shape of people drinking too much in the lovely weather and then passing out in the street, puking on street corners, getting in scraps and falling asleep in clubs.

ShyGirl is releasing a remix EP which has some great remixers on it, and that is always good for the soul! It’s called Club Shy EP and features one of our favourites Logic1000 (who released one of our favourite albums of 2024), as well as VTSS, X-Coast, and Fedde Le Grand, and others. You’ll be
-
Shamefully, we forgot to write about Remi Wolf’s brilliant single ‘Cinderella’ and we’ve been hoarding it to ourselves since it got released, bumping along to its New Wave-ish version of modern pop. It’s infectious stuff and Remi is an infectious individual who, with all things being fair in the world, could be the pop star
-
It’s been a funny couple of years for Chance the Rapper and while his last outing was not our favourite work from him, the backlash he received seemed somewhat disproportionate. Maybe everyone set their expectations far too high after the wildly credible ‘Acid Rap’ dropped, and ‘Coloring Book’ went wildly successful. A couple of weeks
-
The situation in Gaza has bled into the world of music, with some inevitability. Fresh off the back of ringing boos and counter-protests at the Eurovision Song Contest, now we see over 100 acts pulling out of the Great Escape festival. The show was to start today in Brighton, showing off up-and-coming artists. However, many

Not everything has to be informative or in-depth journalism. Sometimes, you can just notice something and simply pass it on – which is exactly what we’re doing here. Ever noticed that the intro section of Hot Chocolate’s ‘You Win Again’ sounds like a brilliant intro to a Super Furry Animals track? We’d like to hear
-
Childish Gambino is everyone’s favourite renaissance man, so it won’t surprise you that he’s back with new music and it’s predictably great. This time, ‘The Violence’ starts off as something that made us say “is this balearic?!” before making way into something a little more psychedelic soul, or maybe Bill Withers-y. Either way, all the
-
Real heads know that Swamp Dogg is one of the most underrated to ever do it, and has been described in the past as “one of the great cult figures of 20th century American music.” Mixing R&B, country, funk and anything else he fancies, Swamp Dogg has also given us some of the most brilliant
-
A lot of ’80s influenced rock music is pretty boring and worthy and shouty. Not the case with Finom’s new one called ‘Cyclops’. Remembering that hooks and choruses aren’t anything to be afraid of, the band formerly known as Ohmme have shared a new track from the upcoming LP ‘Not God’ with a cool video

WHAT IS IT WITH K-POP AND FASCISM?
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.…

FLO TEAM UP WITH MISSY
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…

WE SUPPOSE WE’LL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE OASIS REUNION
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 WITH MORE HEAVY SOUP PSYCH
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…
