Live Review: Jurassic 5, The Stoops
A toast to J5, their 20th anniversary and many more.
Skills, Thrills And Bellyaches
"I’m driving around, speeding, talking about disco, trying to find a place to shit! The life of a ninja! Amazing!"
Mighty Angas
"If I’m not making music from my soul, I’m not happy."
Album Review: Cage The Elephant - Melophobia
Excepting single Come A Little Closer, the bottom rushing up from almost every track betrays a frustrating lack of depth.
Live Review: Alt-J, City Calm Down
As it was, it was a decent showcase, and we left at half nine looking forward to the next meeting. When the twin axes of product and presentation cross it will be something special.
Album Review: Tribes - Wish To Scream
Lloyd, on It Never Ends, gifts us “I smell smoke/from an old flame”. Sadly, it’s a little bit stale.
Album Review: Rudimental - Home
Lyrics are much as expected, and it will be up to the listener to draw their own thin line marking the point where emotion ends and platitudes begin.
Album Review: Ghostpoet - Some Say I So I Say Light
This reviewer had to listen to A Rollerskating Jam Named Saturday eight times to compensate for every play of Dial Tones. No gun chat, but this rap album contains triggers.
Album Review: Iron & Wine - Ghost On Ghost
As much a hard reset as a progression, where Iron & Wine now leads others will surely follow.
Album Review: Spit Syndicate - Sunday Gentlemen
There are discrepancies though, particularly in content. On the one hand getting “pussy”, on the other lambasting those who don’t respect women is disingenuous.
