Live Review: MS MR, The Kite String Tangle
A fantastic second Australian outing and one that’s sure to be just one of many to come.

Live Review: Stereophonics, Atlas Genius
After a short break, the foursome was back on stage with the crowd-pleasing A Thousand Trees, Traffic and wrapped things up with the epic Dakota. Another excellent gig and great to see the boys are still rocking out as good as ever.

Live Review: The Rubens, Walk The Moon, Bloods
A great gig, but it has to be said that Walk The Moon really stole the show.

Live Review: Owl Eyes, Collarbones, Mammals
Raiders was the all-out favourite and a solid performance to finish an unfortunately less than perfect set.

Album Review: Rudimental - Home
This is a winning album that’s fun, fast paced and puts a smile on your face from start to end.

Live Review: Counting Crows, Jackson McLaren
An interesting version of Anna Begins welcomed them back to the stage before finishing off with Hard Candy and Holiday In Spain.

Album Review: James Blake - Overgrown
It’s good to hear Blake hasn’t been stifled by ‘second album syndrome’, but rather seems to have flourished under the pressure.

Album Review: Darwin Deez - Songs For Imaginative People
Songs For Imaginative People is a solid second outing, with one or two unfortunate duds.

Live Review: Future Music Festival
Future Music Festival really did offer something for every type of music lover, but there were major issues with a lack of organisation, poor sound and overcrowding.

Album Review: Stereophonics - Graffiti On The Train
This is Stereophonics doing what they do best, with a few new tricks.
