  Featured Album: Spare Ribs
  Release Date: Jan 15, 2021

  Spare Ribs

  Six albums in, the idiosyncratic style of Nottingham duo Sleaford Mods is still very much intact on Spare Ribs. Andrew Fearn's minimalistic, catchy-as-hell beats are still propping up the antics, while Jason Williamson continues to deliver his run-down, guttural ramblings like the drunken, working-class hero we all presume him to be. Sleaford Mods have always shoved a kebab-soaked middle finger in the face of anyone (anyone at all) deemed to...

  Drunk Tank Pink

  Colour theory nerds might recognise 'Drunk Tank Pink' as the name of a shade psychologists once used in prison cells to calm violent inmates.

Prine is such a remarkable and idiosyncratic songwriter that his lyrics often overshadow his innovative guitar playing, which involves a two- instead of three-finger picking style. Vile is such an ingenious guitarist that his playing often...

  Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Songbook, Vol. 1

  The Bee Gees seem to have undergone some sort of critical evaluation over the last few years. Once derided for excessively tight trousers and lashings of cheese, the world seems to have eventually woken up as to how many good songs the Mancunian siblings wrote. Barry Gibb‘s Glastonbury ‘Legends’ spot a few years ago started the turnaround, and at the end of 2020, a documentary called How Can You Mend A Broken Heart aired, celebrating...
