ILuvLive, a touring project dedicated to showcasing up-and-coming artists in various cities across the UK, recently had a show at Leeds’ very own Headrow House. To commemorate the event, Zack Moore spoke to ILuvLive owner […]
‘Concrete and Gold’ by Foo Fighters
Right from the intro track, you can tell this album is going to be a mess of poorly-executed radio-rock clichés. Or rather, it foreshadows it, because the first half of the record is actually alright, […]
The Brooders @ Brudenell Social Club, 24/03/17
The Brooders played the Brudenell this Friday to a half-empty crowd of mostly disappointed faces, on account of headlining act Fighting Caravans dropping out a few hours before the show. Not that it matters in […]
Preview: Iron Maiden @ First Direct, 11/5/17
What more can be said of Iron Maiden that hasn’t been said already? Instrumental to the success of the NWOBHM scene of the early ‘80s, early pioneers of both the Progressive and Melodic metal subgenres, […]
In The Middle with Hawkwind
I recently spoke to Richard Chadwick, the very-underrated drummer of space-rock pioneers Hawkwind, about his thoughts on modern psychedelic music, and was very surprised to say the least to find that his hopes for […]
In the Middle with The Stranglers
Very few people ever get to meet their favourite bands, but Barry “Baz” Warne took it a step further, and actually became the frontman of his favourite band, The Stranglers, in 2006, after becoming their […]

Why Love Now, the newest and rather emotively-titled album from Pissed Jeans, is possibly their most accessible release yet. For many bands, that’s usually an indicator of a drop in quality as well, but I’ve […]
Sleeping Through The War by All Them Witches
Sleeping Through The War is the most spaced-out and mellow album that All Them Witches have ever made, although I’m not sure that’s a good thing. To the album’s credit, as with all albums that […]
In The Middle with FREAK
I recently spoke to FREAK, who sometimes goes by Connor Ridd, an up-and-coming alternative rock artist from Clemsford, who is mainly known for last year’s extremely energetic What Happened? EP, which earned him the title […]
In The Middle with Martha Wainwright
Speaking to someone as interesting as folk artist/singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright was an exciting and intriguing prospect, so of course I began by asking her about her Christmas holidays. “They were good. We always have a […]
Future of the Left @ Brudenell, 25/11/16
Future of the Left’s show at the Brudenell this Friday was possibly the greatest gig that I’ve attended thus far in Leeds, and I can say that without a hint of exaggeration. Musically, the set […]
Review – Autechre live at Old Granada Studios
Manchester’s Warehouse Project is often described as an unmissable experience for any and all fans of rave culture, and Autechre’s set in Old Granada this weekend was certainly a unique experience to say the least. […]
