One of the hardest working bands in show business, Barry Ashworth and his motley crew have added a much-needed swagger to the UK dance scene in recent years and new album 'Crazy Diamonds' (due Oct 13th) finds the band at their uncontrollable, bass-driven best. 

Catch them on tour throughout the UK in November and December....

Looe Music Festival is three days (29th Sept - 1st Oct) of superb live music in a magical setting on the stunning Cornish coast. A ‘grown-up’ music festival where camping isn’t a prerequisite, where you can visit for the day or the weekend, stay in comfort and eat like a king.

We heard that a Manchester based post punk band called Membranes were on the bill, being a massive fan of the band and John Robb's other punk rock band Goldblade, I thought it would be good to catch up and chat about the festival, here's how we got on....

 “Youth is a nervy bolt of Rock & Roll.” – Stereogum
  
 “Sparse yet emphatic, there are shades of early PJ Harvey or Sleater-Kinney in the directness of the songwriting. Capable of shifting intensity within a few seconds, Pale Honey have a remarkable sense of control for such a fresh group.” – Clash
 
 “…resembling the kind of Brit-grunge that saw PJ Harvey change the mid-90s musical landscape.” - NME

For three days in September the little town of Looe in South East Cornwall gets hit with big music, manic entertainment and a smattering of culture for good measure. The festival pops up from nowhere to transform the beach and the streets, giving locals & visitors from all over the world a chance to mingle and enjoy the show. Everywhere is the venue, everybody’s welcome to the party. And every year, we try to push it one step further.

We heard that a truly amazing band (who we have seen a couple of times before) called TANKUS THE HENGE are set to play the festival so we thought that a chat with the front man Jaz Delorean was in order, here's how we got on....

The 2017 Festival in a Day took place at Hyde Park in the heart of London, amongst the stellar lineup were Stereophonics, Shania Twain, Blondie and headliners Take That, read on to see how the day unfolded.

Simian Ghost emerged from a recording project by Swedish songwriter Sebastien Arnstrom. In 2012, their second Album, Youth received acclaim in UK newspapers such as The Times and The Guardian. This work, combined with their UK appearances also led to being featured on BBC 6 Music. Since then they have produced an epic 18 track album titled The Veil.

We took a listen to their eponymous fourth studio album, read on to see what we thought.

Formed in 2005, The War On Drugs are a Philadelphia born indie rock band who recently released A Deeper Understanding, their 6th studio album .

BRAND NEW EP ‘GRAFT & GRIEF’ - OUT 8 SEPT

BIGGEST UK SHOWS TO DATE IMMINENT

Strangers is the The Young’uns fourth studio album, recorded in Castleford and Newcastle, it is firmly and gloriously rooted in the North.  I can only describe it as a veritable box of delights.  There are so many layers to the different tracks; the beauty of the harmonies, haunting accompaniment by guest musicians, stories told with humour and stories of courage and pain.  It is a true showcase for the talents of Sean Cooney,  Michael Hughes and David Eagle who have between them variously written, arranged and curated a commentary on the early part of the 21st Century.

They will be embarking on a massive 38-date nationwide UK tour in September/October 2017 to showcase tracks from the new album and entertain the masses with their most lively and energetic shows to date.

We caught up with vocalist Chris Caines to chat about life on the road, their plans after the tour and what three items they cannot live without....
