Grand Theft Auto V - Preview
12th May 2013
Ever since it was announced in late 2011 amidst the overblown BF3 and COD: MW3 spat (that made it all look like a nonsensical playground fight), the buzz around Rockstar’s next offering hasn’t really come close to subsiding. And with the September 17th release date (as it stands) only getting >>
PYYRAMIDS - Brightest Darkest Day
22nd April 2013
The two initially bonded over British Post-Punk bands from the 80s but ‘Brightest Darkest Day’ draws from a whole wealth of influences beyond that. It isn’t an album to throw a capital of unexpected surprises in your face, but it is eleven songs of solid, dark and grimy song-writing.
Darwin & The Dinosaur: Romulus
28th March 2013
Darwin & The Dinosaur are, apart from being one of the most fabulously titled bands ever are a five piece outfit from Flush The Fashion's very own hometown of Norwich. With 3 releases already behind them ‘Romulus’ is their latest offering.
Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience
28th March 2013
So is '20/20' any good? Well it’s classy, there’s no doubt about that. It’s probably what’s to be expected from a 32 year old high roller rarely seen in anything but a ‘Suit & Tie’ these days. A look he wears so well he wrote a song about it, accompanied with a video directed by the >>
Incoming Music - By Matthew Cooper
9th March 2013
Portugal. The Man, Lewis Watson, Vuvuvultures and Ghostpoet. Matthew Copper takes a sniff at some new tracks on the way.
New Music Feb 2013 by Matthew Cooper
1st February 2013
Have had lots of new music lately to listen to, so I thought I'd let you know about some of my favourites.
Benjamin Francis Leftwich - In the Open EP
15th November 2012
2011's superbly named debut ‘Last Smoke Before the Snow Storm’, despite being caught up in the Ben Howard and Ed Sheeran undercurrent was also a solid effort. His live shows sell out, and there are few contemporaries as comfortable on stage with just one guitar and their own vocals.
Live Review: Hey Sholay & The Crookes - Sugarmill, Stoke
12th November 2012
Matthew Copper heads to The Sugarmill in Stoke to check out two excellent bands on the way up.
Rachel Austin - Age of Reason EP & Idle Revival- High Times for Stationed Minds
2nd November 2012
New Music Round-Up from Matthew Cooper Age of Reason EP & Idle Revival- High Times for Stationed Minds two new acts worth a listen.
Music: Sam Willis & O Emperor
16th October 2012
Matthew Cooper takes a quick look at a couple of acts coming up on the radar next month. Sam Willis – Foxglissandro Now early studies show that Sam isn’t related to Bruce, but we can let that slide because the sounds he produces on Foxglissandro are bliss. Just because it is >>
Bloc Party - Bloctober Returns
8th October 2012
New album, aptly titled ‘Four’ was a very big deal for me and thousands of other like-minded ‘Bloc heads’ (that is what I am calling them).
Linkin Park: Living Things
6th July 2012
It sounds like Linkin Park have been listening to a bit of Skrillex, as electronic grid beats have largely replaced the soaring guitar lines heard rife throughout 2007's Minutes to Midnight.
Hot Chip - In Our Heads
26th June 2012
Five albums into a fairly niche career it is perhaps surprising Hot Chip aren't bored of it all by now; it is not like they are on top of the world or the biggest band in the country. Maybe they just prefer it that way?
