SXSW With: Fatherson
Fatherson Words and photos: Elena Katrina When I first moved to Liverpool one of the first visiting bands to the city centre who I interviewed was Fatherson. Since then I’ve enjoyed a fair few shows, cried along to a few songs and thoroughly enjoyed all that they were about. It was, therefore, a no-brainier for … Continue reading
SXSW With: The Ninth Wave
The Ninth Wave Words by Elena Katrina Having played a intimidatingly good show at The British Music Embassy the previous evening, I was a little nervous to meet and interview The Ninth Wave.

SXSW With: Island
Island Words: Elena Katrina Photo: Thibaut De Lestré I’ve been a fan of Island for a while and I’ve had the pleasure of hanging with them before but this is our first interview – madness right?

Words and Photos: Elena Katrina Sitting at Vevo House – the venue which is about to become our most used venue to hang with bands – I get to meet Anteros… finally.

Just Listen: The Black Keys – Lo/Hi
The Black Keys – Lo/Hi Words: Megan Berridge The Black Keys are quintessentially the hot dads of rock ‘n’ roll. Despite having had a five year hiatus, the motley duo is back with another leather-clad and unmistakably Black Keys Earth-shaker, ‘Lo/Hi’. Fierce and jagged around the edges, the opening guitar riff jilts the romantic frolics … Continue reading

Sea Girls Gorilla, Manchester, 5th March 2019 Words and Photos: Gary Lambert If any of Popped Music’s North West based writers should not be sent to watch the clean cut indie pop of Sea Girls and APRE, then 100% it is me who should be left at home. As a direct result of musical tastes, … Continue reading
Just Listen: Dantevilles – Bloomin’ Flowers
Dantevilles – Bloomin’ Flowers Words: Gary Lambert It’s a good thing, a very good thing, when you listen to a track for reviewing purposes and when it finishes you replay it immediately.
