After Smith's last song, 'Get Me Started,' comes 'I Don't Want You To Have To Remember Me For Longer Than You Ever Knew Me,' featuring Alice Johnson of Swim School's stunning vocals.

Words: Ruby Corrigan Well, what a disappointment that was. Let me preface this article by saying that it had nothing to do with the band itself, on the most part they sounded fantastic (bar the wind that caused havoc with Slater's mic) and the band really tried to give the hoards of fans a worthwhile show, however, due to the poor organisation from the festival and lack of thought, the experience for me was extremely negative....

Words: Ruby Corrigan Explosive West Belfast hip hop trio Kneecap took to the mainstage of Leeds festival this year and delivered an absolutely heart thumping performance that really set the mood for the entire day. While at first I was slightly apprehensive, as all three members looked extremely tired and lethargic as they took to the stage, my mind was quickly changed as they launched into their absolute belter of a tune 'It's Been Ages', that immediately got the crowd pumped for an exciting set full of banter, political commentary and immense mosh pits....

Words: Samuel Page Dundee’s rising stars, Copper Lungs, have done it again with their latest single, ‘Life Your Way’. This is a vibrant, emotionally charged track that epitomises the essence of living with purpose and embracing the beauty in every moment. Drawing inspiration from bands like Nothing But Thieves, Biffy Clyro and The 1975, Copper Lungs fuse their signature pop-rock sound with deeper, more reflective themes, creating a song that’s thought-provoking yet catchy....

Words: Rosie Russell Tom Grennan's performance at Gunnersbury Park was electrifying. From the moment he walked out onto the stage with a live video feed of himself to the tune of 'Gillette,' he had the crowd in the palm of his hand. His playful joke about his brief yet catchy hit song set the tone for an engaging and lighthearted evening....

Words: Ruby Corrigan Hot Girl Summer This, Hot Girl Summer that, when it comes to those three gorgeous months in the middle of the year, I tend to adopt the 'sad girl summer' persona, and Lana Del Rey's headline set at Leeds sunday just gone was the perfect way to round off the season.

Words By Keira Knox Not only is 'Romance' the most exceptional album Fontaines D.C. has ever released, but it's also without a doubt among the best albums 2024 has to offer. It's an outstanding album full of highlights, with Grian Chatten's perennially captivating lyrics being balanced by continually innovative arrangements. No two of Fontaines' songs sound the same, which is what I love so much about their music....

Words: Joshua Parsonage ‘In The Modern World’ could soundtrack epics. The encapsulating and spherical nature of the way in which the synths harmonize Conor Deegan’s harrowing backing vocals would be a fitting close to Solaris (1972). Frontman Grian Chatten’s agonising introspection into his own emotional dispositions make for a track which leaves the listener with a whole new personal outlook....
