The lights dimmed through the thin gauze covering the main stage at the O2 Arena and a chant of “Mon the Biff!” rumbled up from the crowd. The faint echoing undercurrent of ‘Different People’ began, and soon enough frontman Simon Neil emerged from back stage to stand alone before the microphone, guitar in hand, to […]

The Citadel DLC marks the final piece of content released by Bioware for their highly acclaimed Mass Effect trilogy, and a suitable end to an astounding trilogy it is. The Citadel DLC takes place just before the final assault of earth, and the crew of the Normandy are told to enjoy some well-deserved shore leave, […]

As a huge fan of the indie-rock movement, I know as much as anybody how much competition is out there at the moment, and thus how hard it can be to stand out. However, with their debut album In Love, Peace show exactly how this outstanding status can be achieved, with almost flawless precision. The […]

The debut single ‘Bloodsports’, is the song that effectively establishes Drenge’s identity as the devil’s advocates who’ve had enough of hiding away in the dark corners of the music industry, and are ready to reveal themselves to the masses. Like a vicious Saturday-night-fight down at the local, the shedding guitar announces the beginning of the […]

It’s been 10 long years since David Bowie released his last album Reality, and in that space of time, aside from cameos and one-offs, Bowie’s been on a well-earned break from the music scene.

‘One Way Trigger’ is an indication of The Strokes’ intentions to explore an almost entirely new direction with their fifth studio album Comedown Machine. The single strays far away from the indie rock sound listeners are accustomed to and seems to be passing the lime-light away from guitarists Nick and Albert, and towards lead singer […]

As if there wasn’t enough to do in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Bethesda’s third piece of DLC (downloadable content) significantly adds to the already jam–packed experience. What Dragonborn lacks in narrative finesse, it makes up in stunning environments and bang-for-your-buck. Dragonborn’s story is unfortunately it’s weakest point; as often hinted at in Skyrim’s lore, you’re not the original Dragonborn, but rather the […]

Black Chandelier as a single encapsulates the morbid, wishful feel of the album Opposites, within an individual, concentrated dose. Seeping into your head with the lingering words of “Drip, drip”, Black Chandelier is a single infused with dark humour and malevolent undertones. The lyrics speak of emotional rejection and self- doubt: “I shouldn’t laugh but […]

For Biffy Clyro’s seventh studio album, the title Opposites is not an entirely appropriate one.
