Live Review: The Residents, Victor Martinez

"A throbbing, modern-electronic rock concert, interrupted only by increasingly absurd short films."

Live Review: Divine Times

"As great as the other acts were, this mini-festival was always about The Jesus & Mary Chain."

Album Review: Savages - Adore Life

"For anyone even vaguely interested in angry music, the 2016 benchmark has been set."

The Music 2015 Writers' Poll: Andrew McDonald

Album Review: SOPHIE - Product

"This is one of the finest left-of-field pop releases of the year; hyperactive, so cute it's sickening and utterly unique in the landscape of 2015."

Live Review: Goat, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Orb

"Playing an experimental fusion of '70s style psych-rock with flourishes of afrobeat and acid-rock driven by the hauntingly cloaked dual vocalists."

Live Review: Mono, Fourteen Nights At Sea, Tangents

"Slow build-ups quickly yielded fiercely intense guitar jams, reaching the space the band love to exist in."

Live Review: Automat, Hinterlandt

"Stripped of the guest vocalists present on the recorded artefacts, the band's kosmiche-influenced repetitive electro-rocking becomes trance-like."

Album Review: British Sea Power - Sea Of Brass

"This latest LP is perhaps their strangest yet."

Album Review: Russell Morris - Red Dirt Red Heart

"The album is an engrossing listen for a blues fan"
