For a band that who’s name allegedly translates to “Owl’s Penis” and don’t take themselves to seriously they know now to put a tight first record together, Kvelertak don’t really have the punk rock sound but they certainly have the attitude. They have more invent their own genre which could only be described as ”Black’n’Roll” which can [...]
Bloody ‘ell doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun? It is only a few months until London’s premier boutique festival, Offset comes around again. Last year’s line-up opened my eyes, blew my eardrums and destroyed my liver and 2010 doesn’t look like it’s going to be going lightly on me either. This year Offset is [...]
Remember those teenage days of staying up late to watch banned music videos on MTV? With music tv becoming increasingly defunct due to on-demand videos from YouTube, I honestly never thought I’d see the day when a video was banned again. It seems that Brooklyn disco noiseniks HEALTH have joined the ranks of Prodigy, Motley [...]
I’m pretty damn excited due to the large amount of Entombed worship going on right now, bands like Trap Them and Doomriders are bring back the Swedish Death’n’Roll sound. Southern Lord’s Black Breath are the most potent of the lot. Throwing extreme metal, crushing riffage and hardcore punk together Black breath are surprisingly a breath [...]
I found myself on this Friday afternoon shooting a portrait for a greek newspaper in the Birkberk office of Costas Douzinas, a law professor and Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities. Costas’s office was a library of books and papers which made them a natural backdrop for such a learned man. Costas was [...]
Right that is it, I’m done with electro noise bands and their amazing strobe-tastic showmanship(personship?). Over the last 2 weeks I’ve had the pleasure to have my ears melted off by both Atari Teenage Riot and Crystal Castles. Strobe lighting isn’t a photographers friend though I’ll tell you that!
I’ve been digging through some of my old work and I found this from late last year. After starting a facebook group campaigning to get the Whisper Gold back Ollie Emery got his dream and ended up not only championing the re-launch but becoming a main part of it. As part of that he asked [...]
Last week was a busy week for me running around Berkshire and London shooting a school over in Slough and a deli in Soho. It’s be a refreshing change from music photography shooting everything from sport to still life over the last 4 days. Of obvious reason I can not put any photos of the school [...]
Do you remember when you were last so excited about a new album release that you took a day off to get to the record store as it opened to buy it? For me that was 9 years ago and I’m threatening to do the same for The National’s new album “High Violet” . You [...]
It’s been years since I been to The Forum. In fact I think the last thing I think I saw there was a very disappointing set by Lacuna Coil which involved quite a bit of in-sync head banging. Which I suspect was the death of Nu-metal for me.
Tonight however both Ellie Goulding and Passion [...]
