Photo credit:Marguerite DuTeau Last month, North London-based bandEel Menannounced details of their new 10” EP release,‘Glass Hammers’, due for DIY release onMay 15th.Today they return with second track “When I Get Rich” from the EP and announce plans for an extensive European tour to follow their London release show next month. Yesterday’s new single “When I Get Rich”sees the band laugh through the absurdity of the daily grind of life in the UK, built on a bouncing, chugging bass-line and sawing guitars, chanting“when I, when I get rich”with cathartic abandon. It’s a middle finger to the ludicrousness of the never-ending…

Together, they spent time with the work of Khalil Gibran, especially The Prophet and The Madman. Rather than simply referencing his…
Kim Petras extends the Detour rollout with Jeep, the fifth entry in a campaign that avoids clean arcs. The track doesn’t resolve, it repeats. Built on emotional misalignment, it holds on to someone who never quite meets you back. Production runs tight and direct. Porches, Nightfeelings, and Eric Cross, with additional work from Margo XS. No excess layers, no forced lift. The vocal stays front-facing, carrying the weight while the arrangement holds restraint. The visual leans into isolation over narrative. Shot across the outskirts of Paris and the French countryside, the video places Kim in motion. Physically with someone, emotionally…
Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred is the second expansion to the original Diablo 4 to crawl out of the burning hells, but is this return to Sanctuary worth your time? There are two camps when it comes to Diablo players; there are those who just want to hack and slash, skip the campaign and cutscenes, and get into the action, maxing out a character, and doing it all again next season. Then there are those who may have enjoyed the series since the early days of Diablo 1 and 2, who play for the dark story, the vast lore, and…
Love the Cathouse, hate the stairs! If only Catty didn’t ask you to climb Ben Lomond to access the venue!Written By Wolves (c) Jack BarkerWritten By Wolves set the bar high! Honestly, they’re the best opening act I’ve seen in ages. I must confess I didn’t know any of tonight’s acts before seeing them, but I believe that just made the greatness of each act that much more impressive. Their cover of Sia’s “Elastic Heart” was a massive highlight, but it was “She Had Me At Hello” that really flipped the switch, getting the crowd jumping. The band spent a…
A decade into his career, NAV’s numbers still speak loudly. Since becoming XO’s first official signee in 2016, he’s stacked multiple No. 1 debuts, billions of streams, and a string of platinum records.

An accessible and literate roots-rock gem.Renowned for her energetic and charismatic live persona (and also for being an award -winning English professor; yes, really), Florence Dore returns with the follow-up to 2022’s Highways and Rocketships.The single Sunset Road is an energetic start to proceedings, and it’s got the gritty twang that one associates with producer Don Dixon and has a guitar-focused, bluesy edge too. The Worst Mistake I never made is more reflective in tone and pace, but still has the Mitch Easter/Don Dixon/Let’s Active feel, and features fine guitar work from John Prine’s guitarist, Jason Wilber.Title track Hold the…
