Tonight, we ventured North to Bristol to catch the mighty Mr Jukes at Thekla, Bristol’s premier floating venue (okay, ONLY floating venue). The show was #4 of 5 November outings which culminates in London with a show at SCALA on 30th November.

‘So Much For Summer’ is Lutfia’s debut EP which incorporates a variety of different styles, including alternative pop, pop-rock, funk and dance. Each song is unique and different from the rest but Lutfia's powerful mezzo-soprano voice and deeply personal lyrics make the project seamlessly cohesive. The unforgettable ‘Prism' and ‘Last Night', which were previously released as singles, are part of this EP along with four unheard tracks. Let's hear from the artist herself...

Tonight sees the UK tour starting to apply the brakes as the Self Esteem bus pulled into Exeter where she’ll be gracing the stage of The Phoenix in the heart of the city centre, let’s head there now and see what’s going on….

I did something that I don’t do very often, I guess it could almost be classed as ‘multi-tasking’ but as they didn’t occur at the same time, I’m not going to use that phrase. Basically I was due to work out of the Bristol office during the week and I saw that a fab band called The Howlers were playing in Bristol so I combined my trip, worked from 9-5 and then played from 7-10. The venue was The Lanes and I had visions of the band playing on a disused bowling lane whilst people jostled with bowlers, lining up to score a strike…..or if you’re me, another gutterball!

Exclusive releases from Lana Del Rey, U2, Thundercat & more

Following on from the success of their rendition of ‘Thunderball’, cinematic metallers Opensight have quickly returned with their latest video for ‘Stained Remains’. Inspired by frontman Ivan Amaya’s love for classic giallo films of the 1970s, the clip premiered with renowned film magazine Starburst earlier this month with the single getting an official release on November 5th.

Norwegian metallers I, The Betrayer have released a new video for their latest single ‘Guise Of The Infectious’! The track is the band’s latest offering since the release of their 2017 EP “7”, which saw them grace the pages of Metal Hammer and Norway Rock Magazine among others and is a prelude to an upcoming record set for release in 2022.

The Wedding Present will be launching their 24 Songs project with a very special intimate, seated show at the historic Old Market theatre in Hove on Saturday 22 January 2022, one day after the release of the first single in the 7” series, ‘We Should Be Together’.

New cut ‘LA Boy’ has a glittering laid back trip-hop style. With the repeating refrain ‘Back To LA’ washing over again and again, the track feels like a dreamy beach day sipping cocktails but laced with the darker undertones of break-up pain. A fleeting romantic encounter, when the dream is over Jessica’s ‘LA Boy’ is gone and she’s left wondering. And likewise, when the track winds up, Jessica leaves us wanting more.

THE NEVER ENDING TOUR OF EVERYWHERE KICKS OFF JANUARY 2022

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
