I have been to the Eden Sessions several times, and I am yet to find a venue that is even close to equivocating its unusual blend of expansiveness and intimacy. By containing a spiritual atmosphere within an archetypal festival layout, the venue manages to brilliantly highlight the talent of its performers, but despite these predetermined […]

Recently, while discussing the recording of Blink-182’s 2011 album Neighbourhoods, guitarist Tom Delonge said that the band ‘barely spoke’.

After winning the title of ‘World’s Most Popular Man with a Girl’s Face’ after the release of his 2010 debut Doo Wops & Hooligans, Bruno Mars’ difficult second, brilliant titled Unorthodox Jukebox, has a lot to live up to within his, assumedly, pre-teen audience.
