I ain’t afraid of no ghost..
One of my favourite cassette tapes as child was the theme tune to 1984 movie classic ‘Ghostbusters’. Apparently one of the first songs I used to sing along to, as well as ‘Living Doll’ by Cliff Richard, but the less said about that the better…
Dom Rimini has laid his magical hands down on my childhood [...]

Theres No Doubt..
I’m sure I’m not alone when I name No Doubt as one of the most influential bands of my lifetime. So when I heard last week that the band would be reuniting for a new album and tour, I can’t describe the excitement I felt. Seven years have passed since the release of their last [...]

Beating Like A Hammer
At last. They’re back.
I haven’t listened to Metric in such a long time. Mainly because after listening to them almost every day for two years, I overkilled.
The news of their new album which is currently untitled being released in early 2009 is possibly the best musical news I’ve come across in the last few months.
If [...]

Symmetrical
Now here’s a guy making waves on the south coast recently. I know alot of DJ’s, I guess it just kinda happens that way when you play yourself. A few of my non DJ mates always comment on how strange it is that most of my friends are DJ’s, I consider it a good thing, [...]

Let me introduce you to Master Shortie. A 19 year old rap artist from South London. With a difference. You may recognise him, if you think about it hard enough..and if you touched the festival circuit at all this summer that is..
I came across Master Shortie in a way that wouldn’t normally make an artist [...]

Cold Inbox
I thought it was about time I went through my inbox and actually take the time to listen to the submissions I’ve had sent to me of late. I’ve been pretty lazy recently if I’m honest, so apologies for that. Feel free to do what these guys have done and send me anything you think [...]

Good and Friendly
When it comes down to the best new artists of 2008, Lykke Li will make my shortlist for certain. ‘Youth Novels’ will be one of my albums of the year and from it, ‘I’m Good, I’m Gone’ is a fantastic single.
So of course, when I stumbled across a cover of the track by her recent [...]

Stopmakingoh!
Imagine my joy when I logged into my e-mail and found this little treat from Stopmakingme…
..For those of you who don’t know, Stopmakingme is Daniel Avery who takes his name from NY Excuse by Soulwax. ‘Time Out’ have described him as “Kill ‘Em Alls rising star”. And that he is. Regularly playing Fabric, Adventures In [...]

What to expect from…
…The RGB’s forthcoming debut album. The release date has been announced as early 2009 and they sent me a track for a little taster.
Something about ‘The Day’ reminds me of Sleater Kinney with a more electronic beat. This is no grower for me, instantly catchy and instantly playable in any indie set.
I caught this band [...]
