Reviews
Miley Cyrus - Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz
3 Stars
A star-spangled ride through sugary art-pop, space-rock and the absurd.

Martin Courtney - Northern Highway
It’s the sound Courtney finding his muse in being fed up and away from home.

The Big Moon - The Road

Bastille give ‘Bad Blood’ the Main Stage send-off it deserves at Reading 2015
Their early evening slot is a satisfying end to the first chapter of their career.

Alt-J prove they’ve got what it takes to make the final step at Reading 2015
From Festival Republic tent to second top on the main stage, against all the odds, Alt‑J could make that last jump work.

Bring Me The Horizon become future headliners in the making at Reading 2015
Complete with circle pits and carnage, there’s no doubt that the five-piece will be back to top the bill soon.

A difficult listen and the tracks’ sparseness renders them similar.

Destroyer - Poison Season

It’s novelistic. It’s smart. Of course it is, it’s a Destroyer album.

Beach House - Depression Cherry
3 Stars
An odd outlier in an otherwise brilliant back-catalogue.

Foals - What Went Down

If Foals didn’t already have enough songs in their arsenal to top festival bills, they’ve just added ten more.

Nile Rodgers wrote THIS ONE too?!

Deerhunter - Snakeskin
Even when writing an ostensibly glittering disco number, Deerhunter can’t help but dip into darkness.
