Truth be told it’s a key ring. The Arctic Monkeys key ring is a novelty, a gaff, a frivolous accessory. It’s also perfect. The Arctic Monkeys latest creative leap is a sci-fi concept album about kicking back on an interstellar outpost in deep space. It’s …
The first thing that came to mind when I heard about The Rolling Stones Studio Album Vinyl Collection 1971-2016 was who would need this? At $450 US, this is for the serious fan. Few bands, maybe none, can offer a box set so phat with material. 15 …
Turn it around: The Story of East Bay Punk gets a deluxe package release. One of the guidelines that Green Day set when entrusting a film about the roots of East Bay punk to first time director Corbett Redford was to not mystify nostalgia to …
One look at this image from Gaslight Anthem’s ‘59 Sound Sessions Photobook and you can smell the beer. Sweat in the air. Cramped dance floor. The low suspended ceiling adds to the romance. The thrill of seeing a band about to step up fuelled by …

So when I came across this Low Cut Connie t-shirt, I couldn’t help but see it as an endorsement of the #metoo movement. A street smart woman, battered but not beaten. Ready to seize the moment of the current political climate and kick some ass. …
Perhaps the biggest disappointment about Sex Pistols 1977: The Bollocks Diaries is that it’ll go unread by the audience who could use it most. The fan already knows the story. The punk rock dad lived it (and more recently bought the designer t-shit). But it’s …
