A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!…

Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…

A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth.

Let’s face it – we don’t need to write about the imminent Beyonce tour. We don’t need to mention it at all, because obviously, the Beyhive have alerts set up and publications bigger than this one, with their CEO teams and algorithm jammers, will write about it more prominently. So we’ll be honest and just…

The best cartoon sitcom of all time, King of the Hill, is coming back. Now, you may have thought ‘hang on – isn’t The Simpson’s the greatest?‘ but we said ‘best‘, so suck it up. It’s official and everything that Hank Hill & Co will be back on our screens, and it will be getting…
