On 8 November 2019, the many talented doom/stoner/blackmetal band Pist released their album, HAILZ, via APF Records. The Bury, Lancashire natives had a different approach with this album. As singer David Rowlands says, they wanted to "...step away from the stoner-doom..." label that has been placed upon them and return to a bit of the music they started out slogging away playing, with pleasure!

After releasing their sophomore GIRL album last year, we caught Girl Ray at The Fleece in Bristol after playing two sold out shows in Manchester and Nottingham. Having recently opened for METRONOMY, they are currently mid way through their UK section of their tour.

ARKELLS UNVEIL FIERCELY OPTIMISTIC NEW SINGLE “YEARS IN THE MAKING”

With his recently announced 2020 May tour already sold out, Paul Weller gets back on the road in October and November to play a further 19 dates across the UK and Ireland.

A sold out Welsh audience welcomed James Blunt as one of their own at The Motorpoint Arena as he took to the stage with a stunning 90 minute set which was packed full of hits spanning his 15 year career. Interspersed with crowd pleasing classics such as ‘You’re Beautiful’, ‘1973’ and ‘Bonfire Heart’ were new songs from his current best-selling album Once Upon A Time which has restored him back to the summit of the album charts.

The February 2020 edition of The Listening Post New Music Radio Show features 22 tracks from artists such as Sadie Horler, Pattern Pusher, Yard of Blondes, Puppet Theory and Gozer Goodspeed.

I’ve been wanting to explain my furious and enduring love affair with the most exhilarating and uplifting forms of music on this green planet for some time now. Education takes many forms : my education in music is largely self-taught ; I’ve taken myself down elegant avenues and turned hard right with a handbrake turn on hearing a certain track. It is strange – I started my teenage years all full of Dire Straits and prog rock – Genesis, Yes, Marillion et al – but I held an eternal candle for the wild and fantastic: New Romanticism, the sub-operatics of Billy Mackenzie and the funky pizzazz with substance and heart that was ABC, doom-laden synths from Heaven 17 and The Human League.

As part of their February tour to promote their new single ‘Tell Me’, Bristol quartet MOTHER VULTURE descended on The Barrel House in Totnes support by Cornish duo TAUNTS and Devon duo MORIATY, how was the evening? You’d best read on to find out!

As I approached the venue via Queen Street, I could see a BBC 6 Music mobile broadcast vehicle parked up on the side of the road, this is where Steve Lamacq would be hosting his show from this every evening. Amongst the guests on his show were Frank Turner and The Velvet Hands who were performing in the venue later on. Steve also chatted to Pippa and Dave who run the venue and are key players on the local music scene in Exeter, without the support of these two, the vibrant musical landscape would be a baron, dark and soulless place….

Following a string of July 2019 exclusive full band album launch shows which took place in Leeds and London, it was time for Kaiser Chiefs to take the show on the road to promote their latest long player DUCK. Tonight saw the band on stage, spreading their merry wares to the people of Plymouth. For a cold January Monday night, it was absolutely packed, testament to the fact that Ricky Wilson et al have still got what it takes to draw a strong crowd. As with any tour to promote new material, I feared that people would rather they just knock out a ‘Greatest Hits’ set to keep them happy, would it be like this tonight, only time would tell.

catch up. I received another email to advise that he was playing The Cavern in Exeter on January 30th as part of Independent Venue Week, this added yet more questions to the list.

We chatted about the varied lineup for his Lost Evenings IV festival that takes place in Berlin, the need to support local music venues and a very colourful chap that he bumped into when in Sierra Leone recently, read on for all this and more!
