Guns of Brixton ~ Inlandsis
Not many bands, let alone post-rock bands, make it to a fourth album. Guns of Brixton is the exception. The key to the band’s success is a mixture of influences, beginning with The Clash (who inspired the band’s name and

Software Wolf ~ Spit & Image
We love a mystery, and luckily Byron Christoloudou (Felt Collective, Golders Green) does too. From the sound of his introduction, Byron was simply trolling Soundcloud one day when he came across a lonely, beguiling setlist of “awesomely weird tunes” with virtually

Darren McClure ~ The Black Kite
The black kite is a raptor. Yes, just like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Fish, bats, smaller birds and *cough* roadkill and garbage are their chosen prey ~ the latter “victims” have earned the species the cruel nickname “shite-hawk”. But look
