PREMIERE: Emmy The Great - Century Of Sleep
(Photo: Alex Lake) It’s my own experience that it takes two years to fall in and then back out of love, so it’s comforting to me that in the two years since Emmy The Great’s debut album First Love arrived she’s had her heart broken and is now writing songs in an attempt to try to remember who she is again. It’s a selfish rationale, but when selflessness doesn...
Mercury mundanity
Ah, the Mercury prize. Every year, providing the opportunity for music fans to complain about how it’s a bad representation of British music, because it doesn’t contain X, Y and Z albums - and what’s that one doing on there? It’s crap. And so on. This year, as with every year, the list contains albums I like, some I don’t and some I don’t care about....
Indietracks 2009: Saturday
(Apologies for the lateness of these reviews. I came back from Indietracks and quickly came down with something I immediately feared to be swine flu. Thankfully, I was quickly reassured that it was merely twee flu and that it was perfectly normal. What a relief.) Indietracks isn’t the first festival I’ve gone to this year, nor will it be the last. It’s hard to see how...
Music festivals in Kent 2009
As part as our ongoing attempts to cover what little exists of a Kent music scene, it seemed only prudent to put together a brief guide to the major music festivals taking place in the county over the next couple of months. A few years ago such a thing would have been impossible due to a lack of said events, but now new festivals seem to be popping up each year. Obviously not all of them work (...

Pizza Taste: An Interview With Tubelord
On Tuesday 16th June 2009, Tubelord played a gig at a venue called The Cellars - a lovely little pub in Eastney, Portsmouth. Ed, Tom and their counterpart/assistant Leam had the pleasure of interviewing Tubelord before their epic gig. The meeting was arranged for 6, however both parties were late due to us getting lost and Tubelord fixing their bank payments, which set everything back a bit....
The Sunday Shuffle
Photo: Flickr I meant to start back this back up last Sunday, but as you all know the site decided to throw up on itself. The plan was to include a bunch of songs carried over from last year that didn’t make the cut on the song list, and just have something fun for all of you to listen to on this lazy afternoon. Listening to a lot of these, i’m questioning myself as to why I forgot...
Zipper lament former friends; board trains in Derbyshire with lots of other bands
In July I will be attending Indietracks for the first time. Starting off as a one-off gig at the West Midland Railway, it’s now grown into a full three-day festival of indiepop goodness. A bunch of Another Form of Relief endorsed bands will be playing, including Pocketbooks, Butcher Boy, Emmy the Great, Camera Obscura, The Smittens and Lucky Soul. Given that the full lineup isn’t...
