Flew on the Friday, back on the Sunday, about 40000+ steps completed as we walked everywhere aside from a couple of necessary Ubers. We were not there for music, (sadly) to watch or buy, but that didn’t stop a couple of passing purchases including a great salt lamp to sit near the turntable that I…
One of those / my defining albums, I’ve written a lot about The Farm on a previous post about their new single – read here. This is worth saying. Released on this day 4th March 1991, where has 33 years gone. Spartacus is the debut studio album by British band The Farm from Liverpool, released on 4…
The lowdown: important information or facts about something, this something I have wanted since 1995. Burned by Electrafixion on Vinyl! Electrafixion were an alternative rock band, formed by former Echo & the Bunnymen members Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant in 1994, joined by bass guitarist Leon de Sylva and drummer Tony McGuigan. They released one album, Burned, and four singles and EPs before splitting up in 1996, due to…
The new album from Liam Gallagher and John Squire. I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I…
Looking back – This morning, I booked a gig in October at The Marble Factory (Motion) in Bristol. If you’re that bored you can probably work out which but that’s for a future post. The reason that is relevant is that I’ve been there twice, sort of? The first was a night at Motion probably…
Ruled by Raptors + Under the Sky + Dead Mans Pistol (I’m using a featured pick of Dead Mans Pistol, just because Stig is a mate) Headed up to The Railway inn last night in Winchester, a great independent music venue. It was a rescheduled night from last year which felt long overdue as the…
There are far more professional and well crafted reviews out there by well practiced journalists than this but I just want to say this album is lit, it’s boss, it’s a belter! ‘All change’ was released in 1995 and to date myself it was the year I went to University, it was released just 14…
Playing to a sold out crowd at The Joiners, a small independent venue with a capacity of 200, with this style of music, means literally shaking the foundations of the buildings either side with every song. A setlist of structural threat! Seriously though the audience literally made the ground move, that sprung floor, well I…
This band is fan favourite, singer Ollie Baxxter thanking all for coming to see the band, it was the audience thanking them. From Virginia, USA, the latest incarnation of Broadside now consisting of Ollie Baxxter on vocals, Pat Diaz on Bass guitar, Dom Reid, on guitar and Jeff Nichols on Drums. A pop-punk outfit well…
First on of three, with a crowd that obviously knew how good the support acts are and were not going to miss out. I cannot remember when The Joiners was that busy that early. Young Culture thanked those in attendance for turning out early to support but thanks wasn’t needed, this crowd was dialled in…
