Beady Eye – BE

By Carris Boast

June 18, 2013

There is a growing, undeniable, difficulty to highlight any differences between any tracks of Beady Eye’s previous work, they all carry the same ability to distantly haunt your music library with their over cocky, off key, Manc accent and a rumble of various guitars. They have however tried to resolve this with the introduction of a brass section in assorted tracks in new album BE, many of  which we assume will be singles later to come. … Continue Reading

KRS One is an artist who has been part of hip hop’s development almost from the beginning.

By Rob Crozier 

June 17, 2013

“I don’t need to sell my soul, he’s already in me.”

The opening line to The Stone Roses‘ ‘I Wanna Be Adored’ has been following us around for over 20 years. At times during the intervening years, the Stone Roses must have felt like they were following in the Delta Blues tradition of musicians like Robert Johnson, who allegedly made deals with the devil. Or perhaps the lyric is a nod to the signing of their disastrous contract with manager Gareth Evans; an event which many feel led to the Roses’ untimely demise. … Continue Reading
