  • NEON LOVELINESS FROM MEGA BOG

    Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

  • DORTHIA COTTRELL’S DARK HEAVY PSYCH

    There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

  • 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…

  • COME ON LET’S GOAT!

    Goat released a behemoth of an LP called ‘Oh Death’ much to everyone’s surprise, and now they’re surprising us all again with a new EP called ‘Seu Sangue’ (due out on April 14th, somewhat lessening the surprise when it actually drops). The EP will herald a tour of the UK (and other places) and it’s…

  • MAC DEMARCO IS BACK FOR XMAS

    Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for…

  • NEPO BABIES, EH?

    Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article…

  • PUSHA T NO LONGER AT G.O.O.D. CAN’T THINK WHY.

    There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,…

  • TERRY HALL: UNHEARD THING FROM 1985

    It is an unlikely pairing, but Timmy Mallett (yep, that very same one) has unveiled a never-heard-before mix (at least in digital form) of Terry Hall presenting a radio show of songs that mean a great deal to him. Mallett was a DJ on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio and had a show where he allowed pop…
