Interview: Indigo Velvet
Indigo Velvet Words: Sammy Sadler I caught Indigo Velvet at Kendal Calling last year and I’ve been a fan of their vibrant, sunkissed indie-pop ever since.

Interview: Bloxx
Bloxx Words: Daniel Burton Photography: Gary Lambert The last time I saw Bloxx they were in the middle of putting on a sensational performance in a barn in the middle of the countryside.

Feature: Record Store Day 2015
Record Store Day 2015 Words: Nick Jacques Now I don’t want to get too sentimental about Record Store Day but I can’t help it! I remember my first RSD (it was only last year) but never have I been so overwhelmed by the amount of love and appreciation shown for vinyl, let alone music in … Continue reading
