On The Record
"The soundtrack was obviously a very important part of this film as Hunter lived and breathed hip hop. We had such an abundance to choose from with tracks being donated by Drapht, Optamus, Dazastah, Mortar, DJ Vame and more."

Prochet and Parker have together created a lovely record, even if it sometimes struggles to rise above just an echo of something ‘Tamer’.

Monkey Business

Album Review: The Domnicks - Super Real
The album’s lyrics are simple rock’n’roll, and dad was, unfortunately, singing along in no time. I must admit, it was infectious.

Album Review: Peter Combe - Quirky Berserky (The Turkey From Turkey)
Whilst 78 minutes of hardcore Combe can make even the happiest of adults a bit batty, this album is perfect to share with a new generation of Combe fans or secretly dance to after a rough day. After all, there’s no rush to grow up.
