Album Review: Hot Chip - In Our Heads (Expanded Edition)
The Expanded Edition is for collectors only. For everyone else, stick to the original. Sometimes less is more.

Live Review: Cloud Nothings & Violent Soho
If tonight’s set wasn’t on a school night, it would be one for the ages. As it is, this double bill is still one to remember, and a reminder that Tuesdays can be fun too.

Album Review: Dylan LeBlanc - Cast The Same Old Shadow

They take to the stage ten minutes late, but within seconds of launching into Mr Brightside there is not a person in the crowd that isn’t in raptures over The Killers.
