The only reason why there’s a second Alternative Ulster post this week is because Belfast’s YAKUZA have released a work of art. A WORK OF FUCKING ART. I even used the ‘Awe’ word in the title which is more overused than guys with guns on the cover of video game boxes. More »
Northern Ireland has a habit of creating bands that may not be critical darlings but they know how to rock like their lives depend on it. Can Vanilla Gloom reverse this trend? More »
Hello! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Andy and you've found my blog. Once in a halley's comet I'll help a noisy band release a record like Bronto Skylift or die! die! die! but it doesn't happen very often. These days I mostly blog about the Scottish underground music scene. 'Creative Minds' is a series of posts on mental health because ignorance & hypocrisy grind my gears. Saying hello on Twitter is the best way to reach me. If there's a gig or record you think I'd like then drop me a line.
