Ω Originally featured in Crack Magazine We were expecting a sensuous, endearing, romantic performance when we set off to see our man from Montreal tonight, but the extent to which we’ve now fallen in… Continue reading
Ω Part of an ongoing series at Mint Magazine Music doesn’t simply go in one ear and out the other. It gets inside your head, it has a little dance around in your… Continue reading
Take me back to 2007! This despicable video from Brazil’s Subburbia is more than my 2013 mind can handle! With more colours than a packet of skittles on acid, mind-altering VHS editing… Continue reading
Life Coach is a collaborative project featuring Trans Am‘s Phil Manley, a member of psych-rock band Golden Void, and ex-Mars Volta/new Queens of the Stone Age drummer Jon Theodore, and if that didn’t present a… Continue reading
Ω Originally featured in Crack Magazine Has Manchester’s sempiternal winter finally come to an end? I ponder this as the first sunburn of the year graces its fiery palm across our soft, malnourished… Continue reading
With the opening of this lovely track by Leeds artist Swimming Lessons I feel as though I’m being beckoned into a world of video advertisements, or introduced to some retro sci-fi futureworld that’s desperate to… Continue reading
This dark and hooded video by Bristol’s The Crisis Project fits creepily together with the glitchy, gloomy, Mount Kimbie-esque electro shuffles of the track. ‘Kaifa’ isn’t your standard soylent green post-dubstep though,… Continue reading
London’s swankiest new electro-funk band, MANS, are back on the beat this week with new track ‘Various Lovers’, reminding all listeners that it’s well and truly disco fever this May (see Daft Punk). The track… Continue reading

I’m not a big fan of these zany play-on-word band names – there’s been enough Bos Angeles’ and Rad Pitt’s as far as I’m concerned. I even came across a Base Ventura… Continue reading
Since I witnessed Temples’ first proper performance last summer I’ve been avid that the band was destined to be huge. Their first collection of demos boasted an unrivalled quality of production brimming with… Continue reading
Referencing videogames in modern music is a bit of a bold move – I wouldn’t have normally thought level 100 Charizards and Zelda belonged in contemporary hip hop, but then again “final bosses… Continue reading
When I was about 13 I remember reading my much-loved weekly issue of Kerrang!, and finding much displeasure in the fact that somebody had written in to complain about the band Muse, who… Continue reading
Zomes’ ‘Loveful Heights’ just about pushes all of my buttons on this grey and rainy day. With droning organs, rattling percussion and the soaring, emotive vocals of Scandinavian vocalist Hanna, this track has… Continue reading
