The last day of what had been a hectic weekend amongst the rolling hills of sunny Herefordshire, Sunday brought with it a perhaps more ‘mainstream’ line-up than those on the days before. Unfortunately for this review, Saturday night was phenomenal. Having just come down from spending time on the main stage next to MIA, it [...]

It was always going to be a very difficult task for the organisers to follow up a line-up as mouthwatering as Friday night’s offering, but thanks to a few standout moments the momentum was anything but lost going into day two. Gone were the drizzly rain clouds and heavy winds and instead the morning brought [...]

Far larger than how it has been over the last couple of years; the site, now spread across 12 stages, was colourful as ever with an outdoor silent disco amongst towers of light; roofless living rooms and a hill that would later go on to become the location of a mass nude art installation. Setting [...]

This year’s festival will be hitting the rolling hills of Eastnor in Herefordshire this weekend; and if the lineup’s anything to go by then it’s set up to be the best one yet. The festival has come a long way since its inception as a series of Islington based ambient parties in 1994, and this [...]

We all associate Mr. John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten with mayhem; he has always been outspoken and has had very political views in the past . Therefore it was not surprising to see a small collection of protesters stood out side the 02 Academy yesterday evening. Signs and [...]

It seems I’d stumbled across a festival that hadnt been advertised too much. I think the lack of advertising was the fear of a crowd overload. The festival known as Bradstock was a very well organised event with a great selection of bands, music and food. [...]

I kind of wish I didn’t, because it’s been quite hard to find some suitable bands. Although that’s more likely a result of me looking in the wrong places rather than anything against SA’s indie scene.
Of course South Africa is best known for its world and African music, so getting to the indie stuff wasn’t [...]

After trawling through the underground of eastern European music blogs for Hungarian music, I have to say it was a relief to try Canada, which is much more accessible online. The likes of Arcade Fire, Death From Above 1979 and Feist paved the way for talented Canadian artists to break the mainstream, but the country [...]

When I first set to work on finding some good Hungarian bands, Gogol Bordello immediately sprang to mind, which then resulted in me having to reassert my preconceptions on learning they’re in fact a mix of several countries, none of which are Hungary (as a Scot, I know all too well [...]
