WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Paramore have not had an easy ride. When they first appeared on the scene proper, they found themselves working just about as hard as a band can work in the middle of a number of Vans Warped tour where, unsurprisingly for an event made up of frat boys pretending to be skaters and a load…

He’s good is 03 Greedo. A fine rapper indeed. And he’s surprised everyone by dropping a new tape (not a literal tape of course, but that’d be nice if he did). The new release is called ‘FREE 03’ and has 15 songs for you to listen to. It has guesties from the late Drakeo the…

‘Electronic Sound’ isn’t exactly at the front of people’s brains when it comes to Beatle Solo LPs. However, it is one of the more interesting cuts, from a vault that is possibly the most interesting and varied of off-shoot projects of any rock group. This is George Harrison of ‘My Sweet Lord’ lawsuit fame, and…
-
Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off…

At the turn of the ’80s, the yoof TV show Something Else had a great featurette on punk in Belfast. If you like local scenes, spotty kids and derelict streets, you’re in for a treat! Of course, ’80s Northern Ireland means – by law – you have to mention sectarianism and The Troubles. We’ve now…
-
Everything But The Girl are back and it’s easy to worry about such a thing, because older acts can embarrass themselves sometimes. Not the case with Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt though because they love pop music and don’t muck around. It’s their first new tune in 24 years and it’s called ‘Nothing Left To…
-
Not one of our writers really knows anything about K-Pop because historically, we’ve always covered rock and indie music. However, rock and indie fans don’t generate as much internet traffic as they used to and K-Pop fans apparently do, so we’re going to pretend we’ve always had a soft spot for pop music, and cover…

It’s hard to sound original when there’s been so much music released, ever. However, Daniel Villareal is one of the most original musicians on the planet and you should get into him right now. Melding psychedelic jazz with dubs, post-rock, samba, spiritual music, electronics, and the kitchen sink, Villareal is a truly formidable and very,…

So they can join the ranks of such luminaries as Dervish, Dustin the Turkey, and Nicky Byrne, John Lydon’s group Public Limited Image are going to compete to represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. They’re entering a new song called ‘Hawaii’ which is neither in Ireland, or Europe. Not that it matters much,…

APRIL FOOL’S DAY
We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED
She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE
It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

PSYCHEDELIC TWANGS WITH IMMATERIAL POSSESSION
If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…
