Fall Out Boy, Save Rock and Roll
Fall Out Boy dropped their new album Save Rock and Roll in the middle of last month and it proves to be an incredible release in one way or another. As someone who has recently recovered from a two-year binge on indie pop and electronica, the whole alt rock/punk rock/pop punk is all I’ve been...
Lame Impala – Stuck in a chair @ Tame Impala
On what the group has termed their “Stadium Tour,” Tame Impala kicked off their national tour at Festival Hall after conquering the international stage at Coachella.

Kurt Vile in a Sunday daze
The autumn chills are finally here and who else would you rather cuddle up too (metaphorically of-course..) than with the beautiful, wailing voice of Kurt Vile?

On My Dirty Little Love Affair with The Black Keys
My inner hipster is screaming out as I am now forced to share them with the world - The band reeled me in, gave me an open-mouth kiss laced with a thunderous shot of infectious, and courageous blues-rock. They then left me to spasm in an almost sensual delight… I think that about surmises...
