Record Review : Slash - Apocolyptic Love

Record Review : Slash - Apocolyptic Love

21st August 2012

The songs themselves are what you would expect from Slash, powerful bluesy rock riffs that encompass that element so hard to capture and all too often absent in modern rock.... groove.

Aiden Grimshaw – Misty Eye

Aiden Grimshaw – Misty Eye

18th August 2012

It’s one of those wonderful moments you can’t find a genre to box it in, hardly electro, not traditionally drum and bass, barely pop with a tinge of indie. It takes you from wanting to dance to feeling a deep sadness and then getting confused because you feel both of them at the same time.

Car Review: Suzuki Swift Sport

Car Review: Suzuki Swift Sport

16th August 2012

The Suzuki Swift Sport has won a number of good car awards recently, and I'd heard good reports from a few different people. As a result my expectation levels were already fairly high before I got a chance to actually drive the car.

Film Review: The Expendables 2

Film Review: The Expendables 2

16th August 2012

Since the birth of cinema, the medium of film has been exquisitely used to tell tales of great human feats, journeys and conquests, to the most minutest universal human emotions and experiences. The Expendables 2 is none of these.

Film Review: The Bourne Legacy

15th August 2012

The first question everyone asks about this movie is “Can a Bourne film work without Matt Damon?” Well, the answer is yes. The Avengers Jeremy Renner really isn’t the issue with this film and does a decent enough shift. The blame for the failings of The Bourne Legacy goes to >>

Film Review: Brave

13th August 2012

In their first female heroine, Pixar gives us a girl with guts. Yes, she’s a princess. But this model comes with a hunger pangs, a penchant for archery and flaws aplenty.

Film Review: Ai Weiwei - Never Sorry

10th August 2012

No matter the scale of his works around the world, even the creation of the Bird’s Nest Olympic stadium for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. You can’t help thinking that his finest work is actually himself. Every stroke of creativity and life moments, rapidly returning home to add yet another rich >>

Car Review: Volvo XC90 SE

Car Review: Volvo XC90 SE

9th August 2012

The front dashboard is starting to look in need of make over, the rev counter and speedo are functional, but a bit boring in comparison to some of the more hip cars around (including the new Volvo range). However, the SE version does have a usb connection and an excellent Sat-Nav voiced by what >>

 Tech Review - Tritton Detonator Headset

Tech Review - Tritton Detonator Headset

7th August 2012

There’s something very attractive about Tritton headsets that’s rather hard to place. While I’ve been a long-term user of the Turtle Beach X11s as an all-purpose headset, a set of Trittons definitely seems to ooze ‘made for gaming’ in every part of its being.

Tech Review: Nexus 7

6th August 2012

Priced at £209.98 delivered (for the 16gb version from the play store), Google are definitely aiming for the mid-range mass market with this one, despite the low price they have packed some beefy hardware into this little beast. Running the latest Android 4.1.1 (Jelly bean) with lots of nice shiny >>

Music Review: Electric Guest – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne

4th August 2012

Its winter in Melbourne – cold, dark, trying to escape the icy Antarctic breeze, and searching for warmth in any form it wishes to materialise. On Wednesday evening we ventured out into the night, watching our breath escape into the inner city pollution, and headed to what has become my favourite >>

Review: Baroness - Yellow & Green

Review: Baroness - Yellow & Green

1st August 2012



Throughout their career Baroness have never lingered. Just as Red refined the sounds of the band’s EPs, Blue smoothed Red’s rougher edges and drew influence from further afield. The trajectory of Baroness’ career suggests their new effort, Yellow & Green, will be more welcoming of >>
