Backstreet’s…Dead?
The EDGE asks just what happened to the prolific 90s Boy band There are three arguably frightening images that define my childhood musical education. The first involves a curly-haired Justin Timberlake clad in denim and dancing on puppet strings, the second was my constant preoccupation to find the Backstreet Boys plane during every airport visit, […]

REWIND: Iggy Pop – The Idiot
Iggy Pop, godfather of punk. This is a phrase you’ll no doubt have heard countless times. Idiot was released in 1977, the ‘year that punk broke’. What’s funny then is that this album is pretty far removed from the typical punk stylings of The Clash or Sex Pistols, and even further removed from the sound […]

The Bluetones – Golden Soul: More Than Pretty Harmonies

Like Beachwood Sparks and Goldrush, their influences draw from Neil Young, the late Beach Boys, and The Yardbirds, among others. Lyrically, the song is deep, questioning yourself and hanging onto your inner purity and values when you are in the midst of […]

The Trip: Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon at their best
At last two of Britain’s best loved Comedians and impressionists have teamed up to produce The Trip, a comedic masterpiece which I know will go down in British sitcom history. The series stars Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge and Saxondale) and Rob Brydon (Gavin and Stacey) as fictionalised versions of themselves who carry out a restaurant […]

The Dirty Heads – Lay Me Down
‘Lay Me Down’ is the debut UK single from Huntington Beach’s The Dirty Heads. The track is psuedo-reggae, sounding like ‘Billonaire’ by Travie McCoy, in so far as it shares the same pre-packaged, feelgood summer vibe. What it doesn’t share is a strong hook or any kind of re playability value. By no means a bad track, but […]
