However it’s still enough to send a long-time fan like me into a tailspin. The band will play songs from their new album North, which will hit local record stores…

All the Young Tour Oz
All the Young hail from Stoke on Trent, a small town where its residents are expected to earn money in the warehouse and spend it in the pub.

In Love with L.O.V.E.
Local electronic producer, vocalist, and visual artist Michelle Xen has created an instant dancefloor classic with her new single “L.O.V.E.” Michelle came up with the line “and she spells L.O.V.E. with her eyes,” before the song tumbled out.

Hugo Race Does The Boss
Former Bad Seed Hugo Race has well and truly creeped me out with his moody cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire.” The shiver I get listening to this unusual take on the American classic isn’t entirely a bad thing. Hugo’s interpretation gives a malice to the lyrics that I never heard when The Boss…
