SUNDAY HARDCORE MATINEE!

Crazy Niels...what a dude! I went up to Nottingham on Saturday night for a show, and it was definitely worth the trip. People got ripped, Anton Rough quotes were flying around, Crazy Niels was rampaging (Hovell, he's coming yo!) and people were in good moods. Nottingham bmx hard man Scott the Punk (he was at London's calling, he's a good dude) was there bouncing round the pit and it was good to see a few other bmxers turning out.

ATMOSPHERE INTERVIEW!!

Eleven years after becoming the first hip-hop act to put the Twin Cities on the map, Atmosphere has grown into one of the most accomplished MC/producer duos around. Between Slug and Ant, they’ve released six albums, 11 Sad Clown tour albums and various side-projects like Felt — amounting in well over a million units sold. And along the way have performed to sold-out crowds everywhere from modest sized venues in their hometown to colossal festivals in Japan. Since releasing their 1997 debut, Overcast!, Ant’s ASR-born melodic beats and Slug’s open book and observational style of rapping continues to evolve into hip-hop that’s more honest — more textured. And the praise for these Rhymesayers pioneers hasn’t stopped flowing in. With exactly two months to go until the release of their latest album, Underground Hip Hops finest kindly gave Style43 not only this interview, but an entire day to chill with them in London to hear the new record get its first spin on UK soil. Needless to say, it sounds dope.

GAY FOR JOHNNY DEPP LIVE REVIEW

@BRISTOL LOUISIANA. As I entered the room I stood around waiting for the first band, Hearts Under Fire. After a minute or so the sound guy played a piano interlude. As soon as I started to think it was going to be an absolute sop fest, four girls bounded onto the stage and the guitarist strummed a single chord ,it rung out then another one came, and another, then the song “Spitting Glass” kicked in. Imagine a girl version of Rise Against or Ignite, which I think is awesomely impressive for a four piece all girl band, they had all the classic formula for the perfect pop/punk/hardcore band.

HOT CLUB DE PARIS

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=ruKLfwoCbPQ[/youtube]At this point in time, I only listen to 2 records on my ipod ever. The first one is Boys From The Blackstuff by the legendary Down and Outs which is undoubtedly one of the best records I've ever owned. The second is the Hot Club De Paris album, which is also by a bunch of dudes from Liverpool and is a banger.
