This Sunday London / Brighton based rock duo, Blood Red Shoes handed the power over to their fans as they set up a worldwide treasure hunt for snippets of a new track that they’re streaming over on Soundcloud. As it’s 2013, these puzzle pieces were of course in QR code format and were hidden...
Last week, Brighton based band, The Wytches, who we’ve been raving about for quite some time, released their new AA side single ‘Robe For Juda’ / ‘Wide At Midnight.’ To celebrate, they had a single launch party at Camden rock pub, The Black Heart. Supporting were Cold Crows Dead who were perhaps the worst...
If the first thing that pops in your head when you think about Argentina is Buenos Aires, you might be facing a rather boring vacation. I’m not saying that, in itself, Buenos Aires is boring. In fact, it’s a great place. Still, a Buenos Aires-Salta-Mendoza Argentina itinerary is a bit expected. You might get...
In an already crowded archway venue in Charring Cross, gothic Brighton based garage rock band, The Wytches take to the stage. This is probably the biggest stage that they’ve ever played yet they seem fairly comfortable and confident and the sound is LOUD. This is perhaps because we’re standing right at the front...
Manchester-based artist Steve Hockett has been making waves across the city creating amazing art for local businesses, infusing music, clubnights and original collaborations that we often spy whilst nestling in our favourite Northern Quarter establishments. After attending the Independent Manchester Beer Convention earlier this month, Steve’s quirky doodle designs caught my eye stemming from his...
Some bands set out to be a polished, pitch-perfect, tight-as-hell force to be reckoned with – fervently honing their craft, and rehearsing their set with all the zeal of an East Asian Buddhist monk in training.

Sadly arriving late and missing all of the support bands, I get to Dalston based pub venue, The Shacklewell Arms just in time to get a quick drink in before headline act, A Place To Bury Strangers. This is the Brooklyn band’s second consecutive show at the venue. As the band start to filter...
Tonight I find myself in a strange kind of gig limbo. Originally planning to attend Wolf Alice at Dingwalls in Camden, I was monumentally swayed into buying a ticket to see Warpaint on the basis that Jarvis Cocker was DJing before and that my friend would be attending in a pumpkin costume. Thank God...
150 people in an abandoned swimming pool in Essex throwing fake blood and guts at each other is what happened behind the scenes for giffgaff mobile’s latest, halloween themed video as part of their #giffgaffguts campaign. I went along to take part in the shoot as an extra. Here’s what happened… I arrive...
Where do I even start with this one? On the 17th of October 2013, I ventured to The Old Blue Last in Shoreditch – as many post-emo-kid-pilgrims do – to send prayers to my mid-teens at the shrine of Nai Harvest. They opened up with single ‘Whatever’ – a side winding, erratic fan favourite,...
