Little Comets recently tweeted “Tour done and dusted after last night at Koko. Massive thanks to everyone who came out and supported us, means so much.” I met up with Rob, Matt and Mickey at their Portsmouth date at the Wedgewood Rooms. How’s your tour going? Rob: Very well. Normally by this point in the tour we’ve […]

Turbowolf have been making waves in the British and European rock scenes for a while now, and this summer was no different with a seemingly endless festival itinerary and their recently released Covers EP. On the evening of their last (and hometown) gig of their first solo headline tour at Bristol’s The Fleece, mere moments […]

When I was first ushered in to Howler‘s dressing room, I ended up walking in on a gift unwrapping session with the entire band in attendance. Jordan (Gatesmith, guitarist and vocals) was busy laughing over a DVD whilst Ian (Nygaard, guitarist) was brandishing a new bottle of whiskey (which I was later told is 15 […]

Epitomised by NME in 2007 as Britain’s best new band, critics may say the Birmingham based boys haven’t lived up to the media’s expectations, but 5 years on and still going strong The Twang are heading out on tour, yet again, to celebrate the release of their third studio album 10:20, titled after a note […]

The Maine, a band from Tempe, Arizona. A band you probably haven’t heard of. A band I urge you to get involved with and listen to. I had a chat with the extremely charismatic frontman John O’Callaghan before their show at the Camden Electric Ballroom back in September. He seemed to have all the time […]

Just before their amazing show at Southampton’s Guildhall I had a super brief chat with Ashley, Stefan and Dru from The Midnight Beast. Despite being on a very tight timeframe we managed to cover quite a lot. I squeezed into their dressing room and Ashely complimented me on my glittery jacket, I declared I made […]

‘Fuckkkk what should I eat?!’. Waiting in Bastille’s tour bus I watched lead singer Dan struggle with, what appeared to be the toughest decision of his life. After much deliberation he managed to solve his dilemma of what to eat and proceeded to discuss with band members Will and Kyle Rihanna’s dressing room, avoiding careers […]

Flux Pavilion is kind of a big deal right now in the world of electronic music. The Bass Cannon wielding Britsh producer is behind a wave of up-front, in-your-face Dubstep music that has proven undeniably popular, yet which is derided by many as a branch of the genre that shouldn’t be taken seriously. He’s had almost 3,000,000 […]

Kyla La Grange emerges from around a corner outside Joiners in Southampton’s slightly unnerving inner city. As we head inside from the autumnal evening, La Grange leads me up a staircase in to the rather basic dressing room and we sit down on mismatching furniture to begin. It’s been a couple of months since La Grange […]

Prior to their captivating and crowd pleasing performance at the Freshers’ Ball, I met up with the frequently unheard of Britain’s Got Talent finalists, Loveable Rogues. The quirky group provided me with a good opportunity for some quirky questions so amid a great deal of banter, the three charming chaps, Sonny, Eddie and Te gave […]

Azealia Banks just collaborated with her, Missy Elliot wants to, and she walked the catwalk at New York Fashion Week recently – Shystie is the next big thing in rap.

I arrived in Bournemouth, in the pouring rain, a few hours before Aiden Grimshaw’s show on his Misty Eye Tour and there were already a handful of hard-core fans huddling around the Old Fire Station’s doors waiting to catch a glimpse of the man himself. Not knowing how big a fan base Aiden has already […]

I caught up with Twin Atlantic’s guitarist Barry McKenna at this year’s Reading Festival after their amazing set in the NME/Radio1 Tent. We chatted about touring, festivals and their debut album Free along with it’s massive success. It was great to see a rock star so down to earth and friendly, a great interview to […]

Lucy Rose is a popular girl, when I met up with her at Truck Festival, she gave me apologetic glances for being surrounded by keen guys from earlier bands, eager to talk to her. I wait patiently and we then head into her port-a-cabin ‘dressing room’. It seems you’ve been ridiculously busy lately! Yeah! We […]
