Being the ignorant student that I am, I don’t really know where Fareham is (is there anything there?). That’s why I was shocked when I found out that Anne Charleston (better known as Madge Bishop from Neighbours) would be in Fareham’s pantomime, Cinderella, this year. How did such a little place get such a big…
2012 has been a big year for AlunaGeorge, but 2013 just got bigger. Already named in the longlist for BBCs Sound of 2013 and nominated for the Critics Choice Award at next year’s BRIT Awards, there are high hopes for the London duo. Formed of Aluna Francis on vocals and George Reid producing (hence the name),…
This sickeningly generic collection will have you puking tinsel throughout the festive season. With instrumentals which sound like karaoke backing tracks, the 3-piece American country-pop group work their way through 12 Christmas covers, including classics like ‘Silent Night’ and ‘Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow’. The brass accompaniment becomes exhausting after the…

The Hertfordshire-born 20 year old has just released her Super…

After the release of her sophomore album Electra Heart earlier this year, and in the midst of her Lonely Hearts Club UK tour, The Edge caught up with Marina & The Diamonds to talk about touring, Electra Heart, and new music. How’s the tour been so far? It’s actually been much more enjoyable than the first,…
Heading into the Pyramids Centre in Portsmouth, I was excited. Not only was I excited about the prospect of a leisure centre gig (Don’t you just love the smell of chlorine?), I was excited about seeing the musician who, in 2009, created one of my favourite albums ever, Two Suns. Bat For Lashes doesn’t tour…
If ‘Gangnam Style’ came on in a club a month ago, the dancefloor would come alive. People would be jovially galloping and waving their arms in the air whilst trying to warble along to the mixture of Korean and English, erupting into a chant of “HEYYY SEXY LADIES”. The case today is a bit different,…
