Find Out MoreThis week's Spotify Throwback Thursday has a sting in its tail. We recently said Roxy Music was a great summer album. It is, but we’ve unearthed an absolute gem to sit alongside it. We’re going to highlight a band that only lasted two albums in the early 90’s, but managed to craft two timeless packages of…
Find Out MoreWe could easily tweak LOTI to be Leicester on the Inside this week. Who wouldn’t want to be vibing in a city that’s won the Premiership at a staggering 5000-1 odds? It’s gonna be a party there for some time. Prodigal musical sons of the city, Kasabian (not forgetting Showaddywaddy, Cornershop and Gaye Bikers on…
Find Out MoreIt’s been a tough year for losing musical icons. With the news last week of his purpleness, Prince having passed away, it left us feeling mighty blue. We would have loved to have done a Spotify Throwback, but, he’s not on there, and to be honest, we couldn't have agreed on one of his albums…
Find Out MoreAppetite for hell? Highway to Destruction? We’re just musing on the news that Axl Rose is joining AC/DC on their U.S and European dates as a replacement for almost permanently deaf lead singer Brian Johnson.

Find Out MoreTHEY’RE OFF THE HOOK! New New Order have had a change in personnel, they’re playing Glasto, have passed on the keyboards gene to Tilly (Gillian and Stephen’s daughter) who’s in the awesome Hot Vestry, and their album Music Complete is a triumphant return to form. What better time to throwback and throwdown on this Thursday…
Find Out MoreTricky Dicky is back. The Croft of Ash has returned. The Wigan troubadour has put pen to paper again. Singer with The Verve and now on his fourth studio album with ‘These People’, Richard Ashcroft’s voice is still unmistakeable. We welcome him back into the fray looking a little older, maybe wiser; shorn of hair,…
Find Out MoreRacism, unemployment, a gulf between classes, street riots, sooooo 1979, right? Well, that was the year The Specials released the imaginatively titled début album ‘The Specials’, and society has drastically changed so much since then, hasn't it? Their album may not feel like a sign ‘o the times, in part due to jump up numbers…
Find Out MoreARE YOU EXPERIENCED RELEASED: 12TH MAY 1967 We didn't win the lottery. Again (sigh). However, we are pleased as punch that the Heritage Lottery Fund put money in the pot for the £2.4m restoration of a certain flat at 23 Brook Street, Mayfair. The home of one James Marshall Hendrix.
