Little Axe

Everyone gets the blues, says Skip McDonald, who should know. The legendary guitarist gets them – like, really gets them – more than most. “The blues are a fact of life,” he adds in a Dayton, Ohio twang undiminished by two decades of UK living. “It doesn’t matter where you are.

Grindhouse

Grindhouse

The grindhouse cinema of 60’s America more often than not consisted of a double feature filled with themes of exploitation and excessive gore, sex, rebellion and mayhem.

Brett Anderson: Wilderness

"I made this album with the purest of intentions: to create a beautiful suite of songs untethered by second-guessing markets and playlists and music biz bullshit. I have no record company, no publisher and a smaller audience but I have never been more confident and focused about what I am doing as an artist."
