2026/01/12

At The Windmill in Brixton, Noah and Jules are putting themselves down of course - but that's part of the charm with the dynamic but stripped-back lexicon of Radio Free Alice. They tell us how the Australian government has helped them tour overseas, the expectant but elusive debut album, and working at the National Gallery of Victoria. Their newest single 'Rule 31' is out now. Think The Cure, The Smiths and The Strokes. Get yourself some top class Shure microphone gear:

Behind a number one album, number one single and two sold out arena shows at 3Arena in Dublin are three mates who finished college and made a go of playing all the shows they could. Thanks to a company car and it's fuel card, a cold countryside house and a few people they met along the way, Kingfishr are a band who bring people together and, in their words, floor pints and grab a hold of the person beside them.Get yourself some top class Shure microphone gear: https://shu.re/3YhV7p2 DistroKid

The Cribs - "We became lawyers and won our rights back"

2025/11/25

No-one expected The Cribs to become lawyers. Not because they're working class brothers from Wakefield, or they smashed themselves through a glass vase at the NME Awards in 2006 (24–7 Rock Star Shit) . But because they write absolute belters and shouldn't need to think about fighting for the right to be a-party to the rights of their own catalogue. They did anyway, though.

2025/11/23

In case you missed it before Geese became the most talked about band in the world, we heard from frontperson and songwriter Cameron Winter this time last year. It was just around the time of his excellent debut album Heavy Metal, which a few weeks later he played songs from in a church in East London to a couple of hundred very quiet and respectful revellers. I doubt that kind of intimate setting will be possible for Geese again. Here is Cameron just before it all took off. Get yourself some top

A bruised man with beautiful songs, Saul Adamczewski is seven months sober with a new Insecure Men album. He was offered the chance to make A Man For All Seasons when he was living in a South London cupboard strung out on meth amphetamine, providing a lifeline not only to continue making music ("it's the only thing I can do") but to put the Fat White Family member a mentally and physically healthier direction.
