Went in cold (metaphorically as only had a quick Spotify listen on the way there), came out with a playlist, signed record and a plus ticked on my Spotify. They were a great live act that im pleased i’ve seen. Towards the end he said “we’ve only got two songs left, these will be high…
Met these lads last year after a day of music, I walked into the Joiners in Southampton and for me they owned the day / night. It wasn’t a competition but when you stand back and reflect on your day, they stood out by a mile. Dates haven’t lined up for gigs since but this…
You may or not be following this, I only started when the email prompts started coming in which was not at the beginning but now, i’m invested in the outcome. Nothing hinges on it, it’s not going to change anything in the music industry or the wider chasm of culture or life, cure famine, bring…
A wide variety of posts appeared last week when the one and only Noel Gallagher ignored the Poznan celebration and it went viral pretty quickly with many joking he’s too cool for that, even brother Liam stating on X “Poor Behaviour”. The main take from it was the many posts stating it’s the new album…
For Men Who Should Know Better I do like the latter part of how Wikipedia describes Loaded Magazine, “Loaded was a men’s lifestyle magazine. It launched as a mass-market print publication in 1994, ceased being issued in March 2015, but relaunched as a digital magazine on 11 November 2015. The content was changed, with risqué…
Like many out there I can’t help scanning ‘Discogs’ for my ‘Wishlist’ of records. I don’t share the list as it’s ever changing and to be honest more of a mental list. This week I bought for the ‘list’ and a record not on it as such, an opportunist purchase. Not from Discogs, I got…
I last saw Pop Will Eat Itself in the latter part of 2022, doesn’t seem that long ago. They were fantastic then, they were fantastic tonight! But why expect any different! It’s PWEI!! Coming on to ‘The Incredible P.W.E.I. vs. the Moral Majority’, the opening track of ‘Cure for Insanity’ and rolling into ‘Dance for…
Interrobang‽, an agitprop post-punk band formed in 2012 by ex-Chumbawamba lead singer Dunstan Bruce along with ex-Chumbawamba drummer Harry Hamer and ex-Regular Fries guitarist Stephen Griffin. ‘The interrobang is a combination of the question mark and the exclamation point, and is used to convey an excited question.’ ‘The interrobang is a printed punctuation mark (‽),…
Dead Freights hosted a hometown gig last night at The Stage Door in Southampton, a small cabaret venue with a max capacity of 150 standing, an intimate affair attended by a large number of family and friends of all bands present. And why not, its great to play occasionally for those who support you. First…
Tron, Tron Legacy, Tron Uprising, Tron Ares, it doesn’t matter what word comes after the word Tron, that word alone brings up childhood memories of escapism and wonder. Sadly or not I am old enough to have seen Tron in the cinema in 1982, yes I was young, in single figures of age and maybe…
