While it’s always good to see bands go out with friendships and their reputation intact, final farewell shows can be a bit of a poisoned chalice. If you’ve changed styles and line-ups over the years together, what do you do? At their farewell show at the Westy in Aldershot (where else?), Our Lost Infantry tackled…
Another fine addition to Super Fan 99’s ever-growing roster, Winter are a Los Angeles-via-Boston-based band with a fine line in powerful pop melodies. With an album titled ‘Supreme Blue Dream’ coming very soon, the band have unveiled ‘Someone Like You’ to offer a tempting taste of what is to come. Having played with the likes…
We’ve been big fans of Latvian teenagers Carnival Youth ever since we first heard them around this time last year. Since then, they’ve brought their sun-drenched folk-pop to a number of major festivals around Europe and received praise from the likes of Steve Lamacq, the Guardian and Huw Stephens. A sound that was made to…
The second part of our look back over Our Lost Infantry’s career. To read about the band between 2008 and 2010, head here. 2011 Our Lost Infantry had followed up the release of ‘The Arsonist’ with ‘Parkin’ – a song named after the drummer – and 2011 saw them continue to self-release a succession of…

Although Oceansize only split up in 2011, it seems far longer ago. A lot has changed in the life of Mike Vennart since the end of the much-loved cult band. Joining Biffy Clyro as a further guitarist (and later being accompanied by fellow Oceansize member Richard ‘Gambler’ Ingram to form Biffy-size…), he’s become accustomed to…
Everyone loves dinosaurs. You just have to remember the outrage when it was revealed that Dippy would no longer be keeping watch over the Natural History Museum in London… Phenomenal creatures that we thought we’d only see the fossils and descendants of, they were spectacularly brought back to life by Steven Spielberg in 1993’s Jurassic…
