McFly have been at large in the pop scene for almost 10 years now and so it’s sure enough time for a whopping double disk greatest hits record. If, like me, you’ve been a fan of McFly ever since you can remember, you would have already heard each and every song on this compilation. The…
I caught up with Mayday Parade’s frontman Derek Sanders before their show at The Old Firestation in Bournemouth. The pop punk five piece from Tallahassee, Florida are touring veterans, they’ve been to the UK supporting the likes of You Me At Six in the past and now on their own nearly sold out headline tour.…
Fresh from winning the prestigious Mercury Prize for their début album An Awesome Wave I got to speak to Gwil Sainsbury and Thom Green from the band about their reaction to winning the prize, their music videos and more.
Megan Downing heads down to Portsmouth to witness rock-veterans Billy Talent perform a huge 17 track set list.
Moving on to your debut album can you take me through the writing and producing process of it? Yeah, it took about two years for me to record my first album. So obviously the first year was just mainly trying to find the sound, find what kind of artist was I gonna be. We tried…
19 year old male solo artist Conor Maynard has experienced quite the transformation from the young chap we originally saw on YouTube covering Drake. It was a pleasure to be able to catch up with him prior to his show at the O2 Academy in Bournemouth on his latest UK tour. How has the tour…
Southampton have always had a special place for Frank Turner in their hearts and now even more so! The Joiners have announced a very special show on Friday 28th December 2012. Frank Turner will be returning to The Joiners for a benefit show. This show precedes his show at The Guildhall later this month. After…
19 year old singer turned heart throb Conor Maynard played the O2 Academy in Bournemouth on Friday 2nd November 2012. A date in which all the Bournemouth based Mayniacs would have had circled in their diaries ever since their parents paid for the tickets. Upon arrival to the venue there were already at least 100…
My first experience of the Trinity Centre couldn’t have been met with better music. Mercury Prize winners Alt-J were on tonight’s schedule, and the support band were a three piece female band from Liverpool called Stealing Sheep. I’m not one to usually enjoy female vocal harmonies [insert chart pop rubbish girl band here] but these…
Justin Bieber is back with his new single ‘Beauty and a Beat’. Despite usually hating the teen pop star, this song is surprisingly catchy. Don’t worry, I’m not going to start praising Bieber, I hate the cheesiness of this song as much as the next person, probably more so in fact. However he does know…
I reluctantly dragged myself down to Southampton’s Guildhall to see Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule that make up Rizzle Kicks. Having bought my ticket months and months ago I had nearly forgotten about the gig as the date got closer and closer. Unfortunately I missed both the support acts, Little Nikki and Mikill Pain but…
Queue girlish scream of excitement. I’m not going to hide the fact that I am well and truly a Mayniac and proud of it at that! This date has been circled on my calendar since Conor Maynard released his tour dates earlier this year. Excited isn’t quite the adjective. Over the past eighteen months Conor…
My second trip to the Joiners couldn’t have been filled with a better night of music. I had the opportunity to chat with Ralph Pelleymounter and Josh Platman from To Kill A King before the show (interview coming soon on The Edge) and they seemed very excited to be returning to The Joiners after their…
I arrived at the joiners and interviewed Ben and Rosie from BIGkids just before their show. Getting to chat to them before really got me excited for the show as they were so much fun to chat to. They came out on stage, Mr Hudson donning the now famous BIGkids crown (not unlike those you…
