Live Review: Rihanna
She takes time in the pit to flirt, smile and play touchies with the mosh kids but seems to be more concentrated in looking cute and letting her fans adore her than actually showing some genuine appreciation.

Live Review: Sprung Festival
Headliner 360 comes out all denimed-up with smoke machines blasting and the strobes turned up. He hits the Falling & Flying tracks (the last time we’ll all hear, he claims, as he welcomes Utopia) with his casual ease and then continues with the dance party...

Live Review: Kora, Cheap Fakes
Stuart Kora then returns solo to start a simple and familiar skank of the Burning intro, before they all individually come out slowly adding in their elements as everyone starts swaying and singing along to “another one we haven’t done in a long time”.

Album Review: LL Cool J - Authentic
After listening through it in full and getting a few great moments, the only thing that seems to be missing is the ‘Mr Nice Guy’ of rap smoothly spitting over the NCIS LA theme song.
