WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Do you like the Allah-Las? Great news for you is that they’ve announced a new album called ‘Zuma 85’ and there’s a tour afoot and two new songs for you to listen to. The first new song we’ll share is called ‘The Stuff’ which will be a familiar sound to fans, with twangy psych guitars…

The big news is that we’re going to have some new music from The Beatles this year. Will it be great and better than anything they’ve done before? Probably not, but this is still exciting stuff for Fab Four Dorks around the world. We’re excited. Paul McCartney says he’s used artificial intelligence to help create…

We were going to write a piece about the music in the brilliant and often bizarre world of I Think You Should Leave. If you’ve not seen it, then half the memes on the internet probably don’t make a lick of sense to you. Go and watch it. Anyway, we said we were going to…

Hype can be a terrible thing, leaving us plebs feeling like a moment has shot it’s load before you’ve even got a chance to digest the damned thing. In a period where everything has felt frantic, fraught, and fucking shite, we could all do with a dose of something camp and ridiculous to cheer us…

British Blues legend, prog overlord and axe-master, Tony McPhee from The Groundhogs, has sadly passed away. In a FB post on the group’s page, it said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that 79-year-old guitar and blues legend Tony (TS) McPhee, died peacefully at home today 6th June, from complications following a fall last year.”…

Not a thing we thought we’d be writing in a headline, but here we are. Fact is, the pair have been spotted out together a bunch, and obviously, men and women couldn’t possibly be platonic friends without bumping uglies in the mind of everyone, so what’s the craic? After posting some photos on Instagram featuring…

We’re still on holiday, but this tee was too good to not share. If you know Turbo Island, you’ll know that’s the place to get the best music t-shirts when it comes to wit, super fun graphic design, and letting your music nerd flag fly. Silly tees about Italo Disco, Todd Rundgren, Arthur Russell and…

Pip Blom are cool. We liked that album they did. It might have been the last one. They may have done one since then, we don’t know. It doesn’t matter too much because when you hear someone say that a band is cool, you should go and check them out. Stop pretending you’re too busy…

Tove Lo, when she’s on form, is a tour de force. There’s not many better euphoric pop songs than ‘Disco Tits’ and, honestly, there’s not many better euphoric pop song titles better than ‘Disco Tits’ either. She’s had a number of belters (and some we’re less keen on, but we won’t police your thoughts by…

DAMEFRISØR WILL REMIND YOU OF JOY DIVISION AND THEY HAVE A NEW SINGLE
Baritone vocals, intense music, soundscapes about alienation in the inner city and videos shot in black and white with a twangy bass and everyone in long overcoats hoping someone asks them what new wave Polish cinema they’ve been watching? Sounds like Joy Division doesn’t it? Well, yes. If you like bands that either sound like…

CARDI B RANTS ABOUT LETTUCE
Listen, you might think that this is some bozo article having a pop at Cardi B – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, to use modern parlance, we’re shipping Cardi because she’s been ranting about the price of shopping for your groceries, and we agree wholeheartedly. On socials, she let fly…

STONES MONO 16LP BOXSET
For those of you with a few quid or who are insatiable completists, the Rolling Stones in Mono is a boxset of dreams and soon to be released. There were rumours about the boxset that never really fully emerged, but now it has been confirmed and there’s a couple of surprises too. This boxset will…

UK GARAGE PACKAGE TOUR (IT’LL PROBABLY BE A LAUGH)
When you think of package tours, you think of ’70s glam rock oldheads doing the rounds, or maybe some old soulie revue on the Northern Soul circuit, or maybe ’80s popstars wheeled out to do the hits. All good, clean fun. Get a round in, sing your faves, and off you pop. However, package tours…
