Live Review: Enter Shikari @ Rock City 25/10/11

With the lights dimmed excepting for a sole spotlight fixed on Enter Shikari’s lead man Rou, a speech, so peppered with socialist rhetoric that, to read, one could have mistaken it for Marx and Engel’s Communist Manifesto, was delivered as a prelude to ‘Solidarity’ – one of the…

Live Review: Tiger Blood @ Coco Lounge 13/10/11

If you’re fond of musical precision and heartfelt sincerity, then this band are certainly for you.

Live Review: University Philharmonia Orchestra @ The Great Hall: 23/09/11

The University Philharmonia’s first concert of the year coincided with a somewhat chilly October evening, but the audience in the Great Hall were instantly warmed by Suk’s ‘Fantastic Scherzo’.

Album Review: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

Noel Gallagher’s solo career has been in demand for over fifteen years.  Deemed by many to be the talent and creative force behind former band Oasis, he has been urged by press and fans alike to go it alone since long before the group’s ludicrously spectacular implosion back…

Live Review: DZ Deathrays @ Rescue Rooms 23/10/11

As I type this review, I can’t hear the clatter of the keyboard or the background chaos of the ensuing Hallward madness. All I can hear is a constant, high pitched buzzing – but I guess I’m not alone. Anyone who saw DZ Deathrays last night at Rescue…

Noah and the Whale @ Rock City, Nottingham 6/10/2011

The renewed-effervescence of Twickenham five-piece Noah and the Whale is all the more evident (and welcome) tonight, the start of an Autumn tour that neatly follows a triumphant stint on the summer festival circuit, where the reception to material from third record ‘Last Night On Earth’ has well…
