Trump, Folklore and a New Album: An Interview With Daniel Bachman

Daniel Bachman is a guitar player and artist currently based in Fredericksburg, Virginia. His last record came out in the immediate wake of the election of Trump, and since then Bachman has been working in silence on his most intimate, challenging and artistically fulfilling record yet, entitled The Morning Star. The album moves easily between […]

Album Review: Lil Pump – Lil Pump

I love bad reviews. There’s a perverse joy in seeing somebody get absolutely demolished in a review. Take Pete Wells’ legendary 2012 New York Times review of Guy Fieri’s Times Square location. It’s fantastically funny, a brutal takedown of the total bastardisation of American barbecue that Fieri’s restaurant represents. It reminds me of Lil Pump’s […]

Sour Souls: An Interview with BADBADNOTGOOD

They’ve collaborated with Tyler the Creator, Ghostface Killah, and Snoop Dogg, produced for the likes of Kendrick Lamar, and continue to break new ground and smash genres: Print Music editor Alex Brammer sits down with game-changing jazz group BADBADNOTGOOD. What’s the process of songwriting like for you guys? Where do you start with each track? Chester […]

Stormzy – Gang Signs & Prayer Review

Wow, this album was long. Long to the point of being difficult, long to the point of having its saggy middle blur into one vast half-trap, half-R&B, oh-yeah-it’s-also-grime mess, God, Gang Signs and Prayer feels as long as this sentence. And yet it only runs fifty-eight minutes. Don’t get me wrong, this review’s not a hatchet […]

Music For…The Gym

Royal Blood – Loose Change I always use this track to start off gym playlists. I might be giving away my West Sussex origins there – Royal Blood have been hometown heroes since they blew up in 2014, and I can’t think of anyone I know who isn’t impatiently waiting for their sophomore album. “Loose […]

Music For… A Pick-Me-Up

Johnny Cash – Folsom Prison Blues (Live at Folsom Prison) This might seem like a pun on “pickup”, cause you know, country, am I right? But seriously, I challenge you to listen all the way through Folsom Prison Blues without feeling pretty good about life. Sure, the lyrics are pretty down-and-out, but Cash’s voice is […]

Music For… Term 2

Music sounds a lot better in the right context – try as hard as you like, you can’t listen to Kate Bush at the gym. There’s a track for every place, time and scenario, a track to make you feel better, or worse, to pump you up or calm you the hell down. That’s what this column is about; picking […]

Album Review: Run The Jewels – Run The Jewels 3

In screenwriting’s three act structure, the second act is the darkest. It’s the moment when everything goes wrong, when all seems lost and there’s no way that the characters can snatch victory. Of course, the good guys end up winning anyway, since people’d feel cheated if Luke Skywalker just upped and died an hour into […]

If you’re reading this, play the video at the top of the page first. Right now. Seriously, just do yourself a favour and click that play button, because it’s not worth wasting any more of your time not listening to this song. If you’re not familiar with Delmer Darion, even better – there’s two albums’ […]

Exeposé Music’s Spooky Tunes – Halloween Album Picks

H alloween is here again, and that can only mean one thing – it’s time to listen to some music guaranteed to terrify the living daylights out of you. Well, that and it’s time to dress up in a dumb costume and go get trollied. So, I guess it can only mean two things. In […]

As editors of student newspapers at all 24 Russell As editors of student newspapers at all 24 Russell Group universities, we stand united against the Russell Group statement which declared ‘no detriment’ or ‘safety net’ policies not to be ‘appropriate’ or ‘necessary’ for students at this time. 

Having listened to students at our universities, we are calling on the Russell Group to act compassionately and empathetically and to reconsider their stance on ‘no detriment’ politics for assessments this year. 

Students deserve to be listened to.
