“A snow globe of emotions. Certainly one of the best things they have ever released” Steve Lamacq BBC 6 Music

Riding high off the release of their 5th studio album A Matter of Life & Love (available NOW on Xtra Mile Recordings) the band are currently making their way around the country, playing to packed houses and putting huge smiles on fan’s faces. Tonight saw the Skinny Lister bus arrive at The Fleece in Bristol where they were supported by label mates BERRIES, read on to see how the evening unfolded.

The band debuted at the Halloween Fest in Montijo, Portugal, alongside Moonspell and Bizarra Locomotiva and despite not being seen before, the crowd really got into their music, which is a tremendous accomplishment for an up and coming band.

Gonçalo leads me through a PACKED, medium sized club - for my interviewee is patiently awaiting my arrival in the green room as his band have just finished the last few songs that I saw on stage (brilliant, by the way). Suddenly, there he is in front of me, Fábio Rafael, the bass player for FEAR THE LORD, a hardcore band that is known quite well to the people in the Portuguese metal scene.

From the moment Devil in Me walked onto the stage, the crowd went absolutely insane. It could’ve been the Hollywood Vampires up there and not just a post-punk band from the Southern coast of Portugal, where they spend their days surfing and skateboarding. And we ALL know what comes with skateboarding and surfing - PUNK MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We also chatted about their musical upbringings, influences, their likes (and dislikes) of touring and which bands or artists are currently floating their boats….

With the 50th anniversary of his debut solo album coming up soon and news of The Zombies embarking on a UK tour throughout Feb/Mar 2022, we were given the opportunity to catch up with Colin Blunstone of The Zombies and chat about touring, recently discovered tracks, the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, social media and an amusing story about a string of dates in the Philippines back in 1967, read on to learn more….

It was a cold and dark November night in Exeter, DAYTIME TV were playing at The Cavern on their much postponed and humorously titled “The Tour That Will Absolutely Happen” Tour. It’s been a while since I’ve attended a gig ‘blind’, I don’t mean that I wore a bandana over my eyes all evening, that would have been a silly idea (especially with all of the steps leading down to the venue), I mean that I’d not had chance to check out the band ahead of the show. I’d received some promo on them including news of the new single and that they’re planning on dropping their debut album in February 2022 but being tied up with work and far too many live shows booked into the diary, I hadn’t had chance to sit and ‘research’ the band at all. It could have gone either way on the night, read on to see how I got on….
