As Fenech-Soler get ready to unveil their second album 'Rituals' due out September 2nd, they have released their brand new single 'Magnetic'. I reviewed 'Magnetic' last month, and I'm very excited to see this as our Single of The Week. After sticking the record on repeat, I feel it sounds very similar to Foster The People, which shows Fenech-Soler are heading in the right direction (definitely not One Direction though). […]
New comers MKTO are a Californian music duo, who are on the verge of becoming the 'next big thing'. Earlier this year, they released their single 'Thank You' which gathered over 500,000 views on YouTube, within two days. You may recognize band members Malcom and Tony from Nickelodeon's Gigantic, in which their characters played best friends. MKTO have a unique style and I'm very excited to see their cheesy pop […]
British newcomers London Grammar are back with their new single 'Wasting My Young Years'. The first time I listened to this stunning track, the smooth but powerful vocals instantly reminded me of a mixture between Lana Del Rey and Florence Welch. Having previously reviewed this record, I'm very excited to see this as our Single of the Week. The trio have spent the last year working in the studio on […]

The film is set in a Scottish town where the traditional culture, based around folk singing, is gradually dying out and young people are moving to the cities in search of better opportunities.

Kanye West has dropped his new single 'Black Skinhead' from his long-awaited album 'Yeezus'. I was beginning to wonder what Kanye was up to with his music, whether he'd retired or took a break, but it turns out he was working on a new album! Let's face the facts, he's definitely up their with the likes of Eminem, Jay Z and Snoop Dogg (Lion?), therefore his album has to be […]
Arctic Monkeys have returned with 'Do I Wanna Know?' the first single to be taken from their fifth studio album. The indie rock band have been around for years but I must admit this is the first record which I can't stop listening to. The bluesy guitars aren't as heavy as I expected, therefore it's quite a lite track which you could listen to anywhere. The band will headline Glastonbury […]
Rating: *** We Are The Freaks is a surreal and anti-teen movie set in Thatcher-era England, about three teenagers having the night of their lives. It's a bizarre film with a hilarious script and has a lot of influence coming from 'The Inbetweeners' and Danny Boyle's 'Trainspotting'. Something I really enjoyed in this comedy was the direct address from the characters. I hadn't seen this in movies for a while […]

Meanwhile Travis Holloway has just completed a 12-year prison sentence. He try's to re-establish his relationship with his teenage daughter and builds himself a new life in Reno. Both characters come from different backgrounds […]
