Live Review: Community Festival
Community Festival Finsbury Park, London, 30 June 2019 Words and Photos by Gary Lambert It’s the end of June and we’ve got sunshine, a field and bucketfuls of tunes. What more could you want?

Just Listen: The Amazons – Doubt It
Just Listen: The Amazons – Doubt It Words by Gary Lambert Following on from the step up that was Mother, The Amazons have done it again with a slice of anthemic grunge which seems to have been cut straight out of the Reading Festival main stage. If you have neighbours, I would suggest you do … Continue reading
Festival Preview: SXSW 2019
SXSW 11-17th March 2019 FIND SXSW ONLINE: Facebook// Website // Twitter Words: Elena Katrina SXSW is THE festival everyone wants to go to, everyone wants to play, everyone wants to witness and some of us were unsure we’d ever get to do either, the latter the only real option if I’m honest.

Live Review: The Amazons – Manchester
The Amazons Jimmy’s Manchester, 9th February 2019 Words: Daniel Burton Photos: Fiona Carroll Arriving at the venue well in time for the support act, I was expecting a standard local band to be opening, but to my surprise it was The Mysterines! As soon as I found this out, my anticipation of the night increased … Continue reading
Just Listen: The Amazons – Mother
The Amazons – Mother Fucker. Right, now that’s out of the way…. as in every time Matt sings it, that’s what I shout afterwards. It seems entirely appropriate to be honest (not to Matt!) but for the song. In true Amazons style, their new single Mother thrashes around and lashes out not caring who … Continue reading

Festival Review: Neighbourhood 2017 – Manchester
Neighbourhood 2017 Various venues, Manchester, 7th October 2017 Words: Gary Lambert Photos: Trust A Fox “In rain we graft” might be a t-shirt slogan, but it sums up the Manchester music scene’s collective ability for hard work, togetherness and fighting through the strife that often comes from the life of being working class in the … Continue reading
Festival Review: Bushstock 2017
Bushstock 2017 Various Venues, London, 10th June 2017 Words: Leander Hobbs Photos: Elena Katrina It’s a sweltering hot day in June and I’m sitting in a small wine bar in Shepherd’s Bush; breathing room only.

Album Review: The Amazons – The Amazons
The Amazons Released May 26th 2017 Words: Gary Lambert From Midnight tonight The Amazons self-titled debut album will be available to listen to, but we’ve had a sneak peek.

Just Listen: The Amazons – Little Something
The Amazons Words: Gary Lambert As the eye from the Little Something image peers at you, The Amazons launch into the construction of a sheer cliff face of bass. It feels scary, threatening and dangerous. It feels like rock music should. Little Something sounds like it is going to make a lot of money for … Continue reading
Festival Review: Always The Sun
Always The Sun 10th and 11th September 2016 Words & Photos: Elena Katrina “Who calls their festival always the sun?!” calls out a nonplussed Jamie from Get Inuit during their soggy set. “Always the Rain…. only joking! They’re paying us….!” He might be joking but he does have a point – it was always going … Continue reading
Just Listen: The Amazons – In My Mind
The Amazons Words: Gary Lambert In My Mind is for me the sound of The Amazons. Heavy-leaning rock music but without the desire to cause shock, fear or deafness just for the sake of it. The bass work on this track is one of my favourites of 2016, not because I have any technical knowledge, … Continue reading

Festival Review: Kendal Calling 2016
Kendal Calling 2016 28th -31st July 2016 Words: Gary Lambert Photos: Kendal Calling Official The low-key opening of Kendal Calling’s Thursday is very, very much the antithesis of low key. Despite the occasional wafting of rain through the site, everybody in the fields seemed to be ready to wage war on body, mind and … Continue reading
Festival Review: Beat Herder 2016
Beat Herder 2016 Words: Elena Katrina Photos: Daisy Smart/Elena Katrina I first discovered Beat Herder festival only last year, perhaps because it’s not really known for being a festival for the kind of music we write about – but it does have an entire stage dedicated to it and that is partly why we returned, … Continue reading
