Music: Sabrina Altan
There are rumblings afoot in the bars of Brighton that one of their best-kept secrets is about to explode all over everyone’s face whether they like it or not. Sabrina Altan is a singer songwriter with an impressive voice that gives vent to frustration and heartache without beating you over the head with it. She’s... Read More...
Alkaline Trio at Groezrock 2012
Nostalgia is also the reason why I dragged my pasty English ass to the sunny climes of Meerhout (that’s in Belgium, you philistine) to the Groezrock festival last week for yet another year of pretending I’m still wearing short trousers and listening to Rancid in earnest. Read More...
Music: Jeff Mangum at the Union Chapel
On Wednesday I was one of the very privileged people to witness Jeff Mangum of revered American Indie band Neutral Milk Hotel perform at the truly gorgeous Union Chapel. It was so nice for a split second I even considered joining a church. For those of you that haven’t heard of Neutral Milk Hotel their... Read More...
Music: Leave Lana Alone
It seems that we’re now living in an age where things happen so quickly online, it’s quite possible for someone to become a star, only to be torn to pieces by fans and critics, all before their debut album is even released. Lana Del Rey has received such a bashing on music blogs and in... Read More...
Music: Little Racer
If, like me, the British winter is starting to get to you, the best tonic I could suggest right now is to close your eyes and listen to Little Racer’s new single Split For The Coast for some brilliant lo-fi surf and sun escapism. Having been signed by the Young & Lost Club, this Brooklyn... Read More...
Music: Kyla La Grange
I first came across the haunting sounds of Kyla La Grange last month, when I caught her single release show at the Hoxton Bar and Kitchen. The East London venue had been transformed into a magical overgrown world filled with jewelled vines and hanging skulls, a hint of the ethereal and enchanting world of Kyla... Read More...
Music: Post War Years
After releasing their storming debut album ‘The Greats and The Happenings‘ in 2009 (hailed by Rough Trade as “one of the most interesting and innovative debuts to be released this year”), we’ve been waiting to hear what London’s (via Leamington Spa) 4 piece math-rock band Post War Years would do next with baited breath. After recording and self-producing... Read More...

Reggae star Little Roy performs Battle for Seattle, an album of Nirvana covers, at Scala in London. Read More...
Music: Arrows Of Love
Flannel shirts, Alice in Chains, Love Buzz – no this wasn’t one of my grunge wet dreams, this actually happened. Nirvana, Live Tonight was playing on the TV screen and post it notes with song requests adorned the wall. It seemed Soundgarden, Mudhoney and L7 were the flavour of the day. Touch Me I Am...

Music: Cave Painting
The Brighton based band Cave Painting have been hotly tipped by music blogs and the press as ‘the next big indie band’ and recently performed at the Hoxton Bar and Kitchen, where their melodic, blissed-out instrumental sound gained them even more attention from the London music scene. It was here that OhDearism came across them... Read More...
Music: J.Viewz
Jonathan Dagan, Brooklyn-based electronica producer and collaborator J.Viewz, is not a man to let industry norms stand in the way of producing his music. Read More...
Music: Lovebox Friday
Yesterday we headed over to Lovebox courtesy of our friends at Vice to celebrate the Noisey stage and as much as we were looking forward to the day, unfortunately things didn’t go as planned. The day started out well as festival goers partied to some great electronica, house and dub in the indoor venue that was... Read More...
