The twenty something year old next to me said to me “that’s one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen” and we’d been chatting for half an hour about a serious list of bands we’d seen. And he’s not wrong! Formed right back in south-west London in 1985 but to me and most outside…
Couple of hours free on a Saturday afternoon and large eclectic collection of records, what to play? 1st – Radiohead – Ok Computer You cant go wrong with such an iconic gamechanger of an album, generally an album I begin with and then decide where to go next. 2nd – Fink – Perfect Darkness Always…
The battle against Tik Tok takes another step forward, I would hazard a guess that UMG (Universal Music Group) are tracking all those ‘Ban Tik Tok in the west’ news stories. So far …… Why is UMG taking their music off TikTok? FEB 27 2024 – ‘Universal’s music was licensed to TikTok until earlier this…

I remember in the video shop there were all these straight to video post-apocalyptic post-Mad Max films such as Ice Pirates, America 3000, Cherry 2000, Warriors of the Wasteland, even the absolute classic Escape from New York. All painted a picture of a lawless society after a worldwide event that pitted every member of society…
Headline act tonight, from there own website described as electro-punk renegades with elements of punk, electronica and heavy pop. Exactly as i’d describe it. Heavy drums guitar and electro alchemy coming from the other side of the stage and beautiful yet powerful voice centre stage. A great live act! I have seen CLT DRP before,…
Another great night at The Joiners in Southampton kicking off with local band Dead Freights in the first support slot. Truth be told, this band is the reason I was there last night. I’ve seen Dead Freights before at a different venue so knew what to expect, I was not disappointed. A great thing about…
No idea what to expect here from the second support of the night.

There was definitely a MacBook front and centre…
