First night out in Camden since pre-plague and despite the normal seething madness of the place things are strangely different around the market areas. Although not having the time to explore as beer was calling and more important it is… Continue Reading →
It’s fair to say that for many reasons the last couple of years have been a real pisser with pretty much all but essential trade and businesses prevented from carrying on, and there only now being a slow return to… Continue Reading →
First off, this album has arrived in an old school cardboard promo sleeve. Yessssss! Secondly there is no printing on the disc itself so it takes a couple of attempts to put it in the player the right way. OK Boomer! Like a fucking USB… Continue Reading →
If God is Seven! I am mildly surprised that Sarke have reached their seventh full length release – it seems like just the other day that I listened to Vorunah for the first time. Turns out that debut was released in 2009! Waaaaaahhhhh! This time… Continue Reading →
