Slowdive were the standard-bearers of shoegaze and dream pop. Standing alongside My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive released some of the finest, if not the finest, recorded output of the bands involved in the scene back in the ’90s. 22 years on, they have returned with an entirely worthy addition to their back catalog, and have shown […]
Veni, Vidi, Varsity: EUAFC 1s demolish Swansea 1s in goalfest
A dominant display at St James’ Park saw the EUAFC first team control the game from the off and deservedly come out victorious at 4-2.
