Review – The Last Five Years
(Source) I’ll be upfront and admit that I have a love/hate relationship with musicals. Sometimes I find them inspiring and touching, and I usually find they work best in either a fantasy or historical setting; think Disney classics,…
Review – Light You Up: All We’ve Ever Known
(Source) Pop punk, but not as you know it. Music genres have a tendency to be a bit too prescriptive sometimes, so it’s refreshing to come across a band who get called ‘pop punk’, but undoubtedly extend into…
Review – Fall Out Boy: American Beauty/American Psycho
(Source) If you’re looking for a band to produce the same record over and over again, you’ve come to the wrong place. Fall Out Boy’s latest offering, ‘American Beauty/American Psycho’ (click for Amazon link), the follow up to…

Edinburgh Fringe – Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare
The Fringe might be over now, but that doesn’t mean I’ve blogged about everything I saw yet! Last week I went to see a show called Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare, which is a Shakespeare play performed with one of the…
Review – Twin Atlantic: Great Divide
Big, bold & stunning. I had high hopes for Twin Atlantic’s newest record, given how much I adore their last, 2011’s ‘Free’. However, the lead single from Great Divide, Heart & Soul, was not one that I instantly…
