WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Be With Records are one of the best in the business and wonderfully, they’ve reached 10 years of releasing great records old and new. To celebrate this, they’re releasing a book and album and there’s a lot of cool names attached to it too! You can now pre-order the ‘Joyride’ LP and the ‘Labour Of

Very few of us are immune to a blast of breezy, pure pop. Or is it power pop? Whatever it is, we were very pleasantly surprised to find that Haircut 100 had returned with Nick Heyward and pals, with a new track called ‘The Unloving Plum’. With some very lovely horns, jangly guitars and loads

Look. We get it. It’s nigh on impossible to get people to get people to talk and read about music. And this is not a boring hit job on the sensation that is Taylor Swift – she’s musically fine, and all. But c’mon. Do we need this?

When the world finds itself in dark times, art responds in a number of ways – one of the valuable replies to the horror of it all is the chance to escape. Lately, there’s been a number of great songs and albums that deal in dissolving your troubles away or living in pursuit of pleasure.

Ashley Beedle’s involvement with X-Press 2, being namechecked in Daft Punk’s ‘Teachers’, sending Elton John’s ‘Are You Ready For Love?’ to number one, and decades of wonderful, rafters rattling DJ sets means that no-one should be in any doubt that he’s one of the legends of dance music. And when a legend needs your help,

Aged 52, Danielle Moore the lead singer of Crazy P, has sadly died. Moore’s cause of death has not been shared, and honestly, it’s not our business so we shall do our best to celebrate her life. In a statement posted to Instagram, her fellow bandmates wrote, “We cannot believe the news ourselves and we

Pop’s best You Can’t Sit With Us pair, Coco + Clair Clair are back with a new album after dropping the achingly cool ‘Aggy’ [listen here] which cements their place as one of the more unique acts to hail from Atlanta. With their to-the-minute slang, they’re snarking again and saying “delulu” and, while those would

If you’re interested in our sister radio show – FREE RANGE – it is published an online and features great music new and old, including some of the music we’ve covered and reviewed on these very pages. There’ll be music from The Junipers, Nick Waters (LP review here), some cosmic country, some hidden gems, and

Look – not all music needs to be deep. Sometimes, you just want something that sounds summery as the month you’re in, and that’s exactly what we’ve got with this new one from Cordae and Anderson .Paak. It’s a backpackish affair, but not in that conservative, boring way – it’s just a soulful jam session

Are Amyl & The Sniffers punk? Are they something else? Does it matter? No. They’re back though and have things to say and noisy guitars, so strap in. They’ve got a new LP coming out – the first in three years – and it is called ‘Cartoon Darkness’. There’s a new single to listen to

LP GIOBBI NEW ONE IS REALLY COOL
Fans of mildly psychedelic pop music should tune-in now, because LP Giobbi has a new track out that’s great and you’ll like it. It comes from a new album called ‘Light Places’ and will be out in May. As none of us are very good at waiting for things, you can hear the new track…

REBECCA BLACK: FORGET THE MEMES – THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING
12 years ago on this very day, Rebecca Black released ‘Friday’ and became a meme. She implored us that we needed to get down on Friday, and over a decade later with the release of her first LP ‘Let Her Burn’, on a literal Friday, it’s very easy to get down, because in a week…

CORONATION TICKET BALLOT FOR THE SCABS AMONGST YOU
This summer, King Charles III will be getting fitted with a new hat and of course, us loyal servants will be allowed to stop averting our eyes for the day to look directly at a man who is still called Prince Charles really. Of course, like all public holiday things, the 24 hour news channels…

WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT MAMA
Matthew McConaughey is going to provide the voice for Elvis Presley in a new animated TV series, which explains the terrible joke we made in the headline.
