JOHN TIMES TWO
I was first introduced to JOHN after they supported IDLES on their European tour, I then finally saw them live for the first time in Sheffield. They must've made a good impression because I then went on to see them a number of times supporting Heavy Lungs, supporting St Pierre Snake Invasion, and at two headline shows.

My Killer Halloween Playlist
One of my favorite times of the year! Halloween is the time to be with the people you love, dress up and act a little crazy. I have a Halloween playlist that I listen to every year and I add songs to it if I hear one that deserves to be on it.

Listen To Them...Children of the Night...
My friends. I am no stranger to the shadows. I don't concern myself with cramming all of the season's screamings into a single month. For me, every day is Halloween. From the most head-banger metal to the haunted woods of the ancient homelands on #FolkloreThursday, I stand in the darkened corner of music, literature, film, and television--when I can be bothered to be interested in anything that isn't Warhammer. I am a connoisseur of the weird tale, and the nightmare of the soul. Basically I'm a tortured artist with the heart of a Care Bear living with five cats.

The Albums That Made Me Want To Be In A Band. Top Story - September 2021.
I'm sure that most musicians say this, but I truly knew that music was something I had to do as a career pretty early on. I'm lucky to have grown up in a musical household, where I was continually encouraged to explore my creativity and find the path that suited me the best.

Pink Floyd-Oldest and the best band in the world
Pink Floyd’s sense of isolation from each other and today’s society was reflected in a visit to the 1979 best-selling retailer The Wall, a real wall built between the team and the audience during the play. Eventually, the band decided to bring Barrett back, and Pink Floyd had a new manager in his second position in March 1968. Barretts did his best to get Jenner and King to record two powerful albums with Water and Wright, and Gilmour helped get him back to Cambridge for the rest of his life.

The importance of The Beatles
The Beatles, a band from Liverpool, England, famous worldwide in the 1960s, have inspired people for generations. Sure, they were a band long ago, but they started the British Invasion, which made them realize they could make it big outside their home country. Their songs are still very relevant today, and many British bands r Gen Z kids and teens are growing up with them. (The author included.)

The Hidden Innuendos Inside Beatles’ Songs. Top Story - September 2021.
Highly creative, articulate and intelligent, The Beatles were also a tough down-to-earth working-class band from the port city of Liverpool. They spent many years before their fame playing in the clubs of Liverpool and the bars of Hamburg surrounded by prostitution, crime and drugs.
