Live Review: The 1975 @ Westpoint, Exeter
“Rock and roll is dead, God bless The 1975,” flash the LED screens as the band finish playing ‘Sex’, the final song of the night.

The EP won plaudits for its jagged, pop-rock sound, with lead singer Heather Baron-Gracie belting out four encouraging singles. They were unique, with amazing guitar riffs […]

Among the cache of rising young artists bringing wistful indie pop out of the 1980s and into the late 2010s (Shura, MUNA, and more) stand Brighton quintet Fickle Friends. After two years touring without a label, 2018 has now seen the release of the group’s highly anticipated debut record, You Are Someone Else. Having accumulated […]
