Album Review: California Wives - Art History
In all its fuzz, glazed, atmospheric glory, the album fails to leave any indelible mark. It’s all a little much of the same.
Features / Music
Black Magic
“We’ve had a few line-ups across the years and, you know, you get new people in and they might have a new direction they want the music to go in and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t."

Live Review: Warchief, Little Napier, Miss Elm
The girls carried a heavy load to keep the crowd’s attention, with the rest of the band seemingly apathetic about the whole performing thing, lazily stroking their guitars. Uninterested doesn’t equal cool, yo.

Album Review: Co-Pilgrim - A Fairer Sea
Is it too early to start a best of 2013 list? It’s not? Good. Slam this album right in there.
Features / Music
After The Dance
“I mean, I wasn’t at the helm of choosing what song to sing. RocKwiz had already chosen this duet and that’s the song that I was to learn and 360 was to rap over it.”

Live Review: Katie Noonan, Brian Campeau
Not many artists these days can boast such a mix of fans ranging from nannas and pops to tweens – and even fewer possess the power to keep them transfixed for nearly two hours.

Album Review: Charles Bradley - Victim Of Love
Bradley proves he’s got the passion and pain to push through into his music that artists a third of his age can only dream of.

Album Review: British Sea Power - Machineries Of Joy
The indie troubadours say they made the album in the hope that it would provide some kind of antidote to this “mad, hysterical place”. Mission accomplished – almost.

Live Review: Hungry Kids Of Hungary, The Preatures, Them Swoops
Their buzzy, fuzzy New Pornographers-inspired sound was everything the hipster-heavy crowd could have dreamed of tonight.

Live Review: Spit Syndicate, Jackie Onassis, Joyride
But the crowd hardly minded, with the mosh turning into a pool of sweat come midnight. Nice.
