The longer you blog about music, the more difficult you find the task of keeping up with any one band. As you’re exposed to more music, it’s easy (and natural) for your excitement to shift to another target. I’ll put it this way – we’re basically puppies chasing cars, so once a new one passes [...]

The splendid, the amazing, the Epworth-produced Jack Penate will be setting foot on American shores for the first time ever this September, with the almost-as-amazing-but-in-a-totally-different-way Miike Snow opening up. No Arizona dates, but I wasn’t really holding my breath on that one. It is a pretty extensive tour though, especially for someone who hasn’t necessarily [...]

White Rose Movement dropped a demo called ‘Bones’ on us last year, but will now release an official single from their upcoming album (no title as of now). ‘Cigarette Machine/Small And The Witches Revenge’ will be a double AA [...]
