Album Review: MIKA – Hyperlove
On Hyperlove, MIKA reminds us exactly why he has always occupied a lane entirely of his own. This is his first English-language studio album since 2019, and rather than feeling like a cautious return, it bursts forward with real theatrical confidence.
Biffy Clyro – Utilita Arena Cardiff
By the time Biffy Clyro take the stage in Cardiff, the room is already fully engaged. A sold-out Utilita Arena hums with anticipation, helped along by two support sets that couldn’t be more different in approach, yet together prime the crowd perfectly for the scale of what follows.
Album Review: Only The Poets – And I’d Do It Again
For a band seven years into their journey, And I’d Do It Again does not sound like a debut album made under pressure. Instead, it's a perfect product of time: time spent reflecting, experimenting, and unlearning the sense of urgency often associated with early records.

Tune-Yards – Attenborough Centre for Arts, Brighton
It would be very reasonable to assume a trip to the Attenborough Centre for Arts on Sussex Campus would involve an evening of seminars on French cinema or marine biodiversity but on Friday 21st November, the sound of Tune-Yards was heard and experienced - pulsating across the South Downs and beyond.
CAST – O2 Academy Bournemouth
Opening up with Follow Me Down, John Power introduced the show, explaining to mark the 30th anniversary of Cast's seminal album All Change, the band would be playing it in full. Promised Land, Sandstorm et all soon followed, though it was Fine Time, the album’s first single, that really got the audience going.
