Album Review: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - The Heist
The Heist is a pure hip hop record. It’s positive, fun but also real.

One of the biggest and best instalments of the long-running institution to date, bring on next year!

'Reality' Bites
"I’d rather be compared to the people who I have a lot of respect for, who aren’t in those circles. I don’t want to be before some five-year-old who can sing the National Anthem and after some magician, that’s not my thing.”

Live Review: Luca Brasi, Headaches, Little Shadow
"If anything, tonight shows that you don’t need to have any sort of manufactured style or agenda; as cliché as it may be, you simply need to believe in your craft and be yourself."
Features / Music
The Travelling Man
“It’s kinda weird doing a six-track EP, I can never seem to do a proper size EP, like just three or four tracks – I find it hard to stop."
Features / Music
Turning The Page
“It’s not the way this band works. We don’t really compliment each other very much. But as long as they didn’t tell me to change it or anything then they must have liked it.”
Features / Music
Enjoyable Problems
"It’s just about getting those key songs written, then seeing what clicks and what doesn’t really.”
