It’s not for the cock, it’s for coming up roses.

Posted in Artists, Lauren at 4:34 pm by Lauren

Rose Kemp is a powerfully voiced singer/songwriter currently based Bristol whose latest release ‘Unholy Magesty’ hit It’s Not For The Cock’s ears recently courtesy of One Little Indian. Big riffs, delicate yet striking keys and an almost unimaginably unique vocal performance make both the album and artist enticingly curios concepts. Luckily we were able to somewhat satisfy this curiosity by posing some of our questions to the artist herself. Read the rest of this entry »

Tubelord/Blakfish/Cuban Crimewave/My psychoanalysis @ The Bodega Social

Tubelord are a fiery ball of fury, having come, seemingly all of a sudden, out of Kingston (the one near London- let’s nip any confusion in the bud sharpish) creating jerky, unhinged- yet strangely wholesome- rock songs.

The Wave Pictures interview.

For around a decade now the charmingly emotive pop trio The Wave Pictures have worked their way through a selection of drummers whilst occasionally managing the odd burst of touring. Since changing their base to London the band have found themselves a home at moshi moshi records and have released the album ‘Instant Coffee Baby’, E.P. ‘Just Like A Drummer’ and numerous singles. Since this union the trio have also been almost constantly touring finding themselves as far a field as New York. So what do the band think about all of this? Singer and Guitarist David Tattersall kindly answers some of our questions. Read the rest of this entry »

With a mixture of different musical tribes descending on Bramham Park, a collection of in vogue bands of the year and a general atmosphere of reckless abandon, you know what to expect each year, yet it rarely disappoints.

Here’s our picks of the festival…

The Dodos-’Visiter’

Two years after their debut release, American folk duo The Dodos return with their second album ‘Visiter’ (”misspelled because it’s from a drawing this kid gave us”. The pair have produced a record which is nothing short of a sheer delight using guitars, drums, keybords, horns and God knows what else to create a rich tapestry of acoustic, psychedelic indie sounds.
