The Screening are causing quite a buzz across England and America, having had their music on the trailers for What Goes Upand The Shepherd, as well as playing at South By Southwest in LA, and sell out gigs in Texas. Now the Leicester lads are back in England to turn the buzz into a bang, and with [...]
Our final article from Somerset House’s Summer Series brings you reviews from Corinne Bailey Rae – a woman I’ve admired for a long time, for her sheer musical talent, beauty and will power, and Divine Comedy – an artist I only knew from posters, and was once again surprised by. I’m sad to see the [...]
I have to be honest, Sunday the 11th was the day I was least looking forward to at the Summer Series. N-Dubz were headlining, and although I can appreciate their musical capability, they’re just not my style of music. I really thought I would stick out like a sore thumb amongst the crowd, and it [...]
Somerset House is an amazing place at the best of times – the exhibitions, the infamous Christmas ice rink, and not to mention the films they regularly show on a colossal screen in the courtyard, a definite must-do-before-you-die for any Londoner, but when their yearly Summer Series comes around, well, the best just got better.

Form have been designing and branding artists in the music industry for nearly twenty years. They created the East 17 dog logo, the design behind Pendulum’s InSilico album and singles campaign and have just started to work their magic on Pixie Lott – not to mention all the other bands they’ve helped become unforgettable.

I waited at The HMV Hammersmith Apollo in [...]
Teenagersintokyo are quickly becoming one of the most addictive bands on London’s new music scene… and they’re not even English. Neither are they Japanese, despite what the name would suggest – they’re from Tangent’s very own Australia. They’ve already been championed by Zane Lowe and NME, and their track End It Tonight has set the [...]
Alphabeat are known for their energy packed live shows, charismatic and enthusiastic members, and sometimes frustratingly catchy songs – I frequently find myself muttering “fascina-tion” without even realising it. Although the image of Alphabeat has changed since their British debut single in 2007 ‘Fantastic Six’ – from as many bright colours as they could lay [...]
What do The Roots drummer, Questlove, Sting, and Dweezil Zappaa, have in common with Ryland Steen from Reel Big Fish? I went to Koko in Camden, London to find out.
I’ve been a fan of Reel Big Fish for nearly ten years, and photographed them around eight times since 2007, but this was the first time [...]
It seems that, whenever I put my fingertips to the keys of my laptop for another weekly music post, only sadness and disappointment springs from them. Though I can not promise that the most pressing Australian music news will be bright and joyful next week, I certainly hope it will be. We need a bit [...]
