ALBUM REVIEW \\ DIIV - ZIRP!
Blasting shoegaze and alt rock into the 21st century - this is one of my favourite albums of the year. And lead single "The Fountain" is the best way to burst your eardrums!

GIG REVIEW \\ Adult DVD - Rescue Rooms, 22.10.26
New rave is back, but now with a bit of extra northern grit. I lost my shit watching the new dance punk phenomenon show off their debut album.

The October Revolution is here! Fontaines launch the most important LP of 2026.
Fontaines D.C. have gone from outsiders to arena headliners. Jimi Arundell reviews "Dopamine Chamber," on XL.
"If 'Romance' was the first time Fontaines D.C. raised their head over the parapet, 'Dopamine Chamber' is the storming of the Winter Palace."

"The stark sound of defiance in the face of utter hopelessness. It channels the pressure of being pushed right against the wall and demands that we all come back swinging."

ALBUM REVIEW \\ Ladytron - Paradises
The synth-pop stars return with their eighth record. Their ambitious 16-track album sees them at their most creative, exploring strangely seductive worlds, and could be their breakthrough moment.
