Joshua Steele, more commonly known as Flux Pavilion, returns with his newest EP Blow the Roof marking his first EP release in near enough three years. Despite the lasting popularity of tracks such as ‘Bass Cannon’ and ‘I Can’t Stop’ in the three years since his last EP, Lines in Wax, it remains questionable as [...]
Seeing Crystal Castles has previously proved to be a semi-hypnotic experience, so I went in with high expectations, yet last night’s performance was, well, strangely sobering.

We raced from Birmingham New Street Station to make sure we saw the entirey of Fixers’ set, and they lived up to our high expectations. Their energetic performance, packed-full of guitars, synths, and various percussion, allowed the guys – all with a good head of hair on them, might I add – to get the [...]
