I’ll be honest – I was really dreading writing an article tonight. I didn’t want to have to deal with a lot of the bullshit that writing these pices sometimes puts me through, mostly brainstorming and research, but you know how it is, end of the week, you just want to chill out with a...
by MATT BACON > It has been 21 very long years since the last release from the hidden gems of Seattle, Gruntruck, and 25 years since their last record. Now they are back with a self titled offering. It would be pointless to try and go over the many things that tore this band apart...
by MATT BACON > So The Killers are back – it has certainly been long enough. Yet somehow it only seems fitting that it would take this band so long to properly come back. When it comes down to it – The Killers have always been a band who perhaps exist best in the shadows....

I wake up. Another day. Another strange bed. Minimal sleep. The usual. I knew I’d have to go do some interviews and maybe get some food down my gullet but as for now I just wanted to meander around the strip – watching the hungover white girls who didn’t get laid wander home. Watching the...
I’ve only had this computer for a couple of weeks, already it’s starting to screw with me. I’m trying to download tracks for a record that seems genuinely interesting, and yet here I am, stuck in the stone age (or is it the stoned age?) a slave to a shoddy internet connection. But what about...
