This year Edinburgh International Film Festival have teamed up with Empire Magazine to bring a selection of 'Hero Hangouts' to the festival. Taking place throughout the festival film makers and actors will be defending on the Lyceum Theatre (a rather grand venue) to talk about their influences, past successes and of course flog you their latest movie. I popped along to the first Hangout on Friday night to see Noel […]
I'll warn James Bond fans that 'A Most Wanted Man' is not the kind of spy film you might be expecting. For a start it's set in Germany, not the usual US/UK city counter terrorism setting you would be expecting. In fact this film isn't based on a CIA team or MI6 it's all about a German intelligence unit, not headed by a Jack Bauer action hero but a slightly […]
As soon as 'The Anomaly' starts rolling you are engaged. The terrified screams of a young old boy seeing his mother shot play out over the opening titles, and you’re straight into the action as Noel Clarke's Ryan wakes up in the back of a moving van. The last thing he remembers is being in a rehabilitation centre for posttraumatic stress. Ryan only has 9 minutes 47 second cycles of […]
‘Greyhawk’ (set in a fictional London estate with the same name) stars Alec Newman as Mal. When you are first introduced to him he is an unlikeable, blind, Afghan veteran, wallowing in self pity. His only friend is his guide dog Quince. When he goes missing Mal is forced to ask for help from the very people he actively avoids and is running away from. Mal having to go door […]
Our new single of the week comes from the much anticipated George Ezra, after releasing two EP’s and appearing in several ‘one to watch’ articles over the last 12 months there is a lot of interest in this singer songwriter from Hertford. It’s fair to say his catchy new single ‘Budapest’ does not disappoint. ‘Budapest’ is the first single to be released from his upcoming and first full studio album […]

Fresh from collaborating with acts like Rudimental, Wiz Khalifa and Naughty Boy and her debut EP ‘Later’ which was released at the end of 2013 comes ‘If I Go’ her new single. The track has been produced by Jarred Rogers, who has previously worked for artists including Mark Ronson, Tinie Tempah and Lana Del Rey. 'If I Go' […]

Glasgow may be the home of the 2014 Commonwealth Games but more importantly it is home to ‘Prides’ the providers of our new single of the week! The band are currently touring with Foxes around the UK and further afield to promote their new EP ‘The Seeds You Sow’ which is out now. If you want to see them live you have just missed their gig at Tevot Underground in […]
Our new single of the week comes from US band One Republic. ‘Love Runs Out’ was intended as the lead single to last year's album Native, but frontman Ryan Tedder put the song on hold in order to perfect the chorus which he now likes as much as their chart topper 'Counting Stars', which reached number one in the UK and number two in the US. The band will be […]
