My saturday started with a logisitical challenge that allowed me to test two things. First, the quality of the public transports in Nantes as well as the ones set up by the Hellfest and second, if all my hikes and performances were of any use in this situation.

2023 Crew Review: Mosh – Da Boss
I'm going to be honest, this year's roundup is going to be a challenge for me. In the past I've reviewed dozens of albums and gone to a similar number of gigs each year so my biggest problem has been narrowing it down. This year, though, has been a struggle.

Interview: Baldur Ragnarsson and Þráinn Árni Baldvinsson of Skálmöld
Before their recent Glasgow gig, I sat down with two members of Iceland's best music export (my biased opinion) and tried my best to get something out of them about the new album. However, they were annoyingly tight-lipped so we talked about other stuff instead.

2020 Crew Review: Iain “Mosh” Purdie – Editor in Chief/Grand Poobah
OK, then so it's time to draft some words about 2020 and try to make out that it's not been a cataclysmic shitstorm caused mainly by political ineptitude and a hyperactive microorganism. But I can't. Because it was. So I won't. Instead I'll focus mainly on the music side of things, which is surprisingly limited … Continue reading 2020 Crew Review: Iain “Mosh” Purdie – Editor in Chief/Grand Poobah
