WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It’s easy to think you’ll never forgive J Cole for one of the worst lines in rap history, when he delivered “dick so big it’s like a foot is in yo mouth”, but there’s so much more to pick apart. If you like vague philosophical generalisation passed off as being some kind of heir to…

Donny Benet is a wonderful musician and seems like a swell guy to boot. Talented, good taste, well dressed and funny as well – what’s not to like? He’s just dropped ‘Midnight Appointment’ which is the fourth single from his upcoming instrumental album “il Basso”. Get your copy at donnybenet.com if you know what’s good…

A lot of people talk about The Beach Boys like they’re the US equivalent of The Beatles, but that’s always missed the mark in what makes the Wilsons & Co such a fascinating prospect. Fact is, The Beach Boys were messier and weirder than the Fabs. The wheels frequently fell off and even die-hard fans…

The Notwist are back and we already gave you a heads-up on their new album – you’ve only yourself to blame if you’ve not been checking in. If you missed it, luckily for you, we’re sharing yet another song from their forthcoming new LP, ‘News From Planet Zombie’. ‘Projectors’ is the latest one, with brassy…

The Super Furry renaissance continues apace as everyone gets ready for their return to the stage later in the year, and we get a reissue of some of their early music. They’ll be reissuing their two Ankst EPs on vinyl on Friday 1 May 2026, with some fun added bits tacked on for good measure too! It’s…

Iggy has lived a charmed life, and chosen so many interesting duets and collaborations. It is always worth pricking an ear to who he’s working with, and this time, it is Anna Calvi who is no slouch herself. “He’s disruptive, raw, and honest — a singular force,” Anna Calvi says of old Ig; “his presence…

DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ continues to be wildly prolific and equally enigmatic as each year rolls on, providing music that is somehow purer than the driven snow and a little bewildering and unsettling. If that ain’t the most perfect encapsulation of how weird things are at the moment, we don’t know what is. With…

The latest radio show we do is here. We do it every month and have listeners from all over the world, and when people tell us they’ve been listening, it keeps us going honestly. It is nice to put nice things into the world, and shine a light on records that might not get too…

Aurora and Tom Rowlands from the Chemical Brothers have teamed up as Tomora, which means new music and some small shows, which is very fun! Aurora has collaborated with the Chems before, but this is a brand new project. The new record is coming out set for release on April 17th and is called ‘COME CLOSER’. “This…

Record Store Day is not what it used to be, but whether it’s been overrun by the worst of the music biz, it still puts a lot of money in the tills of independent record shops, and that’s always a good thing, right? So, with that, let’s have a look at the releases that are…

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…
