Now unbelievably in their eight year The Indelicates are a male/female duo ripe with dichotomies from ironic bittersweet hymns to our self abusive, post modern times like ‘Waiting for Pete Doherty To Die’ to the self reflexive theatrical pop of ‘New Art For the People’ to 2011′s religious cult-based country concept albums ‘David Koresh Superstar’.

Ahh, Elimination Chamber. Nobody’s favourite pay-per-view… Sitting in that gap between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, it should really set you up nicely for Mania, solidify rivalries and hammer home the importance of the main event. But when the main event of Mania this year was the worst kept secret in months it’s hard to get [...]

Record Store Days are an excellent concept, albeit somewhat futile. One thing they do harvest is some interesting off-the-wall releases and the latest one was no exception. Possibly the highlight was a superb EP by one of my new favourite bands, A Place To Bury Strangers. They decided to cover a few songs by little [...]

All Tomorrows Parties this year is curated by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The theme is, I’ll be Your Mirror, the idea that the audience is reflected back to the singer and vice versa, as singer, Karen Orzolek puts it, ‘the expression is important and those performing here today are here for you to share in [...]

Mischievous rockers Art Brut recently released a career spanning ‘Best Of Top Of The Pops’ a document of their ten years as a group. However, as if a complete retrospective plus 20 tracks of b-sides and rarities was not enough, these selfless gentlemen and lady also generously recorded and included 2 brand new songs as [...]

This new single released on Monday precedes the group’s departure (from their two previous EPs, Orange and Raspberry) into writing for the full-length record, and from what they say, a heightened focus on the narratological structure of their song-writing. BEOW pulls in many directions, with perhaps more tenacity than any of their previous material. Let’s hope the boys don’t [...]

Warning this review contains Spoilers: Explosions without any awe, fear of death without tension and the final frontier without imagination. Star Trek: Into Darkness should rank as the year’s biggest disappointment given the gaping void between expectation and delivery. Box office figures will no doubt show STID to be a success. Director JJ Abrams has [...]

Here’s an oddball one for you. An American who goes by the name of Kishi Bashi and best known for being something of a violinist. Next week he releases his first album, called “151a”, and it’s a kaleidoscopic collection of well written songs. The guy is clearly a talented feller and has an adventurous streak, [...]

Time again for a perusal through the lesser heralded releases in the tumult ocean of music. Lacking a theme or context, the ‘polygenesis perusal’ review round-up casts its omnivorous net wide and far in a random fashion; reeling in an unconnected catch of jazz, Afro Beat, psychedelic, dream pop, krautrock and electronica releases. From the [...]

The main point about Best Ofs is that they feature… well, the best of something; as a rule, the only time a second compilation can be issued is if anything’s happened after the release of the original Best Of. As anyone aware of the WWF/WCW Monday Night Wars would know, this is not the case [...]
