Pom Poko The Scala, London, 23rd October 2019 Words: Nick Jaques When I rocked up to the familiar sight of the Scala, from the outside amongst the usual buzzing surroundings, there was a lack of activity on the door, which I found a bit precarious as this gig promised to showcase some of the most … Continue reading

The Peach Fuzz Phase One, Liverpool, 18th October 2019 Words & Photos: Elena Katrina This was not the first time I’d seen The Peach Fuzz this year, nor was it the first time I’d seen main support Saytr Play. It was a bit of a dangerous mix and I think, this time, for me the … Continue reading

Just Listen: FEET – Dog Walking
FEET – Dog Walking Words: Amy Butcher The first time I heard this track, ironically enough, I was walking. ‘Dog Walking’ from FEET is a fantastically interesting song about walking your dogs.

Just Listen: The Ninth Wave – Human Behaviour
The Ninth Wave – Human Behaviour Words: Elena Katrina The Ninth Wave have found something a little warmer in the latest track Human Behaviour.

Just Listen: The Lottery Winners – Hawaii
The Lottery Winners – Hawaii Words: Elena Katrina This isn’t at all what I remember from when I saw The Lottery Winners play live back in May this year.

Just Watch: Stereo Honey – You Are A Monster
Stereo Honey – You Are A Monster Words: Elena Katrina Oh, Stereo Honey you make my ears so damn happy.

SuperGlu – Forever Endeavour Words: Elena Katrina Listening to the new SuperGlu track I’m immediately taken back to the excitement I felt when I first heard them, and when I first saw them.
