The Enigmatical Return of Spring-Heeled Jack
Victorian Liverpool was a gas-lit metropolis full of dark alleys and shadowy, tree lined streets. Into such a city sprang a notorious criminal monster, the terrifying Spring-heeled Jack. Already responsible for many attacks, often on young women in London and across the country, he was likened to the devil and wore a black cape over a white oilskin outfit. Described as having red glowing eyes, he was known to spit blue flames into the faces of his victims before…

10 Bands 10 Minutes Holiday Banger: Madonna; Review
For just over two and a half years The Kazimier has been the home of a gig, a night and, most importantly, a party quite unlike any other that you’ll find in Liverpool (or anywhere else for that matter) its name is 10 Bands 10 Minutes. The premise is simple: ten bands each play ten minute sets back to back so tightly the people in the smoking area are rushing to finish the ends of…

The Fat White Family At Kazimier; Review
Sometimes the hype and shenanigans follow a band wherever they go obscuring the main event, the music. That could well be said of The Fat White Family, a band who never shy away from controversy. But to concentrate purely on the seedy showmanship the band are notorious for would be to do them a disservice, for although the subject matter can cut close to the bone, both the content and delivery of their music can be…

Shamona 'Just Like You'; EP Review
Just Like You is a record rooted in tradition, and in many ways stands out for it. While most current rock ‘n’ roll has taken an indie or psychedelic edge, Shamona are taking the direct route. Though you’d be pressed to find a boundary being pressed this is regardless a solid pop-rock EP, helped along by impeccable production and undeniably potent musicianship from the members themselves. Opener ‘Rich Man’s Sake’ sets out a strong stall, led by a…

Bolshy Debut EP Radical. Anarchic. Bolshy. Scouse; Review
For a band with such an unpredictable sound, the choice of title sums it up well. ‘Radical. Anarchic. Bolshy. Scouse’ indeed – pretty concise for a debut outing. Across five songs and seven members Bolshy latch dub, salsa and hip hop to a third-wave ska-punk sound that provides their sonic backbone, and for the vast majority of the release they tie their influences together with refreshing stability. The success of the overall textural edge is perhaps…

Liverpool Calling Part Two; More Action From The Bombed Out Church
Whilst hundreds of thousands of people from Liverpool, and visitors from outside the city, gathered to watch three colossal creatures roam through town, the question is what were the rest of us doing?

Liverpool Calling Part One; Featuring Sound Food & Drink Acoustic Stage To Bombed Out Church Headliners Space
Though most were concerned about the return of those monolithic marionettes, the ‘Giants’ meandering around town and in some cases ‘farting’ and losing their head to the delight of thousands, 26th July also marked the return of a more subtle spectacle, namely Liverpool Calling. Like the ‘Giants’ Liverpool Calling is an event still in it’s infancy, with this being only its second year, but any music fans who failed to answer it’s call, in favour of…

Astral Coast 2014; Review
This was the third annual event of the Astral Coast festival taking place at the Floral Pavilion Theatre in New Brighton which, in its brief period of existence, specialises in showcasing some of Merseyside’s best established and most exciting new musical talent.
