The last time we clapped eyes on the Kills, Alison ‘VV’ Mosshart spent the duration of the gig striking note-perfect repetitions, face aimed at the floor, blowing second hand smoke into the fizzogs of unsuspecting fans more… “The Kills”
For all the fuss that’s been made over Albert Hammond’s decision to whack out another full length LP in the time his fellow bandmates decide on which direction to take (and judging from their latest effort: slick, Pharell-produced space-age new-wave could be on the cards) more… “Albert Hammond Jr.”
While most spend their time passed out in all-inclusive resorts looking like befuddled lobsters, White Denim spent their most recent vacation recording this, their debut ‘Workout Holiday’.

As with anyone whose lost their weekend in a haze of Weatherspoons endorsed moonshine-supping will attest, Mondays are rarely fun. more… “Viva Stereo”
Like cassette mixtapes, Maxell t-shirts and Thatcherism, The Silent Boys are on a mission to keep the spirit of the 1980’s alive. Not in the same way most bands currently are though; more… “The Silent Boys”
