More grime than the Black Keys and far more savage than The White Stripes, their 2011 Sugar EP was described by Rolling Stone as “raunchy rock at it’s best”. Their debut … Continue reading Introducing >>> Wake Up Lucid
Here are another six tunes to try and cheer you up a little bit on another dank and dreary Friday in England… First up is Hardly Art’s Unnatural Helpers and their raging first single, Hate Your Teachers, from upcoming album Land Grab.

Wooden Wand || Café Oto, Hackney || 29 June 2012 Review by Chris T Popper Ever since I knew Wooden Wand was touring our little island again I have been in a state of high anticipation… mixed in with a sizeable chunk of excitement.
