After a seemingly very quiet few years the Levellers returned in 2002 with Green Blade Rising. Just before it’s release, I got on the blower to the band’s bassist, Jeremy Cunningham to ask him where the hell he’d been. In doing this I managed to put my foot in it at the first question but […]

Lars Horris operates within his own self-created sub-genre of hip-hop: hardcore alien hip-hop. He does this, he says, because he is an outsider in the hip-hop world; his background prevents him from being one of the bad boys. Still, everyone knows that, in reality, the Wu-Tang Clan are all nice boys from the suburbs. This […]

The four members of Mew, Jonas Bjerre, Bo Madsen, Johan Wohlert, and Silas Graae met at school and bonded whilst making a film about the destruction of nature. For a band that sounds as they do, this seems like the perfect place to start. Through their music they seem to have control over everything and […]

New York punk outfit Mommy And Daddy, otherwise known as Vivian Sarratt and Edmond Hallas, were good enough to let Bob Gray shove a microphone in their faces for a while before they opened for the Wannadies at Reading’s Fez Club in November 2003. They had just got back to England from […]

February 2004 saw the release of All One Surface’s debut album, Such Is The Way To The Stars. The CD is a layered and diverse collection of songs and on listening to it we decided it was time to find out what makes this band tick; so off we headed with a handful of questions, […]

They moved to London less than a year ago but the Trap are already making a big impression on the hard-to-please music scene in our fair capital city. We caught up with them and gave them a grilling so hard that this whole piece only needs a very short introduction.
Who are the Trap?
Tom - We […]

Would you believe it? This is my first face-to-face interview ever (unless you count the one I did with Virus 237 but, seeing I was in that band, I don’t think you should). The reason for this is mainly that I hate hearing my own voice on tape and, on this occasion, drinking four pints […]

Monkey Boy, a minimalist trio from London, have generated a massive buzz on the underground scene since they were formed in ‘95 by the Warren brothers, Paul (Drums & Vocals), and Mark (Bass).
Their self-titled - ‘monk rock’, has been described as an eclectic mixture of heavy bass-driven punk, blues and jazz.
August ‘97 saw the release […]

“Who the hell are Mower?” I can here you all saying. Well, Mower are the latest signing to Transcopic, the label co-owned by Blur’s Graham Coxon.
The band originally kicked the South London punkrock scene pioneering the nu-crap sound but have now taken their rickety & retarded lunacy to the studio after their rather fine performance […]

Over the last few years, earthtone9 have grown up to be one of the most popular and respected bands on the UK underground scene. Every time you thought they couldn’t get any better, they did. Last year’s Arc’ tan’ gent’ was further proof that, just because you are described as a Metal band doesn’t mean […]
