Music: Interview – The Travelling Band
It may well have been two year’s since the release of The Travelling Band’s 2011 album ‘Screaming is Something’ but rest assured young travellers, they’re back and more excited than ever. Following the release of new EP ‘Hands Up’, which came out just a few short weeks ago, the band ‘Just can’t wait to get [...]
Music: Live Review: Swim Deep @ Brudenell Social Club
Birmingham’s ‘Sunshine-Popsters’ Swim Deep took to the Brudenell stage amidst a recent NME-spearheaded flurry of hype and managed to just about justify the acclaim surrounding them. After a shaky start (in which poetic justice shined through, when the SWIM DEEP background artwork fell from behind the stage following frontman Austin Williams’s singing off-key), the surf [...]
Live Review: Tamaryn @ Brudenell Social Club
It would be practically libellous not to put this gig in the context of today being the day My Bloody Valentine release the follow-up toLoveless after 22 years of waiting. If it hadn’t been so out of the blue, you’d have been forgiven for thinking that tonight was a pre-organised celebration of their return. Shoegaze Sunday [...]

Live Review:: Wild Nothing @ Brudenell Social Club
Although there has been heaps of hazy dream pop coming from overseas for the past few years, Wild Nothing prove the genre has yet to stagnate. Wild Nothing are a unique take on the genre: they are miles away from being a muddy and reverb drenched exercise in apathy. Instead, the band’s approach to music [...]
Live Review:: Lau @ Brudenell Social Club
Brudenell Social Club certainly felt at its homeliest on Wednesday night, as a generally older demographic, featuring a smattering of folk-enthusiast students, gathered to see three-piece contemporary folk band Lau. In the intimate setting, with many of the audience sitting on the floor in front of the stage, band and audience had a great rapport; [...]

Live Review // This Many Boyfriends @ Brudenell Social Club
Perhaps it was the genuine surprise at the full room, perhaps the naïve kiddishness that plays alongside This Many Boyfriends’ young, fun indie-pop… either way they shout and jump with a youthful excitement, doing their best to get the crowd’s full attention, despite cooly dropping off into a half-there, timid chatter in between songs. Following [...]
