ALBUM REVIEW: Jamie T - Ghosts (100 Days of Morning)
Jamie T’s latest project brings his familiar indie, dance-infused rhythms back to listeners who have stuck around since the 2000s while creating a sense of ambiguity around the connotations he intends to leave with the songs. Even the album title leaves the listener curious before even beginning to dive into the depths of the project, what are the ghosts that he carries and how have the 100 days of morning shaped him as a person?

ALBUM REVIEW: Fontaines D.C. - Dopamine Chamber
There’s something exciting about watching a band refuse to stand still in one genre. If their last album 'Romance' saw Fontaines D.C. reaching for something atmospheric, 'Dopamine Chamber' feels like the next step into the mysterious unknown. Just as ambitious in its scope, the album pushes further into the cinematic grandeur, but beneath its dreamier surface lies something darker: an unease that feels inseparable from modern life. This is a band continuing to evolve, finding

LIVE REVIEW: Keo @ NBHD Festival 2026
Nowadays Neighbourhood Festival is considered a staple in the indie calendar. However, ten years ago, when the festival first started, no one could have imagined the success the event has become. In its first year, the festival saw acts including Blossoms, Circa Waves and Liam Fray take to the stage. Ten years on, almost all the acts didn’t exist when the festival first opened its doors, but the aim of bringing the best up and coming bands to new fans, remains the same. Phot

ALBUM REVIEW: Beabadoobe - Pylon
This September, Beabadoobe returned with her fourth studio album, 'Pylon'. Blending genres of grunge, midwestern emo and 90s rock, she explores sounds of new and old with a darker tone. This angsty yet mature feel makes the record act as the rockier big sister to her previous records. The album, written whilst on tour for her last album, reflects themes of isolation, insecurity and the effects of touring. Photo Credit - Erika Kamano Beabadoobe talks about her love of pylons
