I’d like to think 2015 was a great year for games, but we had a lot of unexpected hits and sordid disappointments. As we enter 2016, I’m diving in headfirst with all the best and worst that the previous year had to offer! Best Game: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain While incredibly unfinished, […]

Today’s track of the day comes from Fightstar alumni Alex Westaway and Dan Haigh, with their synthwave side-project Gunship, bringing the sights and sounds of the ’80s to life in spectacular fashion. I’m a big fan of bands that focus a lot of effort on their visual identity, and Gunship are one of the bands […]

Cosplay is a great and wonderful thing. After tumbling head first into it just 3 years ago I have not looked back. Alas, with the highs come the lows: controversy, fights and disturbing news.

There’s no word great enough to truly encompass the grandeur of David Bowie as a creative entity. Every attributed title or caption must come with a massive caveat. Yes, he’s a musician, but he’s not just a musician, yes, he’s an artist, but he’s not just an artist. His body of work, which clocks in […]

It’s a sad, sad start to 2016. Just as we’ve said our goodbyes to one musical icon, we lose another. David Bowie‘s career was marked by constant reinvention, creativity and a desire to never do things the easy way. I may not have listened to much of Bowie‘s output – and for that I have […]

Hotline Miami was my gateway drug into the neon-soaked sound of synthwave and synthpop. Its mix of fast-paced electro with sinister tracks filled with dread-ridden beats gave me just a taste of what I now consider one of my favourite genres. It’s eclectic nature can lend itself incredibly well to film genres ranging from slasher flicks, […]

Kicking off this brand spanking new daily column in style, we’ve got the lads from British rock band Mallory Knox for you folks. I caught this track a few times on Kerrang, Scuzz and the like and never took much notice, but when I saw them live a few months back I realised just how […]
