Interview // Egyptian Hip Hop: Britain’s Best New Band
Egyptian Hip Hop: Christmas Trees > Happy Mondays Egyptian Hip Hop are an easy band to love. Or to hate, depending on your point of view. The most interesting people are divisive in this way. This interview is the story of a band who are loathed and loved for exactly the same reasons. By the end you’ll know where you stand. And they won’t care what you think. At...
Manchester 2010: The Scene That Ate Itself
Is Manchester a city that is so proud of its musical past it still trades heavily on it, or one that has just given up trying to surpass what was produced before? That revolutionary 80’s period is still leant upon, and how: The Hacienda, now a swanky apartment block; “And on the 6th day, God created Manchester” T-shirts are still available in your size; and Peter Hook, having...

Wild Nothing : Gemini
I’ve really grown to love the album ‘Gemini’ by Wild Nothing over the past few weeks.

MP3: Wild Nothing ‘Chinatown’ More at Captured Tracks.

Luis Vasquez sends a flood of ’80s inspired doom forward in time, unloading a brisk but encompassing dose of your favourite bygone heroes. His first prescription filled is a 7″ titled Breathe The Fire, out now on New York label Captured Tracks. The title...

New Order Reviews

Telepathe: Dance Mother (V2)
Funny thing about Bernard Sumner: he never whooped on record. Well, that’s a lie; he did once or twice, but the whoop wasn’t really part of New Order’s studio arsenal – whereas live, he peppered the air with the things, fistfuls of endearing/embarrassing firecrackers. But, for the main, his natural impulses were held in check, no doubt wisely so. A whoop misplaced can be...
