Based in Lund, Sweden, Untold Jukebox takes an impressively unusual route into AOR, with the artist blending 18th-century military history with the smooth, polished sounds of late-70s and 80s West Coast rock….a nostalgic, soulful AOR journey packed with smooth vocals and 70s-inspired grooves.”Rehnskiölds Fraustadt Strategy” is a six-and-a-half-minute-long track with some breezy 70s and 80s tones that almost remind me of Dire Straits in places. I also loved how smooth the vocals were and how this felt like a step back in time for me, as I grew up with this kind of music in the mid-90s whilst sitting in…

You are back with a new film, Noblestone. What’s it about, and what made you want to return to the quirky caretaker character of Karen, and how did you approach evolving her story this time around?Noblestone is about an eccentric housemaid who is hired to live with a self-absorbed artist.The film features the return of ‘Karen’ the housemaid, who played a very similar role in my last feature, and had appeared before then in a few short films. I suppose Karen is less deranged here. Previously, she was much closer to a traditional horror villain. Here, she remains as creepy…
An impressive modern folk debut where creativity shines through.London-based Dan Pye is a creative individual. Alongside Room 7, on the 7th, his debut album, he has produced films, zines, handmade copper etchings, a diptych and self-designed T-shirts. The album launched with a sold-out show at The Phoenix Arts Club in Soho. It is an album of modern folk songs; he calls it indie-folk, which grows very nicely on you with time. One might even call it folk-pop, with a number of tracks being rather catchy. The best example is the breezy, swinging love song Josephine, which is the nearest to…
Photos by Senor McGuireCraft Recordings re-release two remastered ground-breaking bluegrass albums, one long out of print, and both on CD for the first timeIn the mid-1970s, bluegrass music was evolving from the traditional ensemble acoustic playing of artists such as Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley and Flatt and Scruggs, and it was ripe for a step forward into the future. Two albums released at the time stepped up to the plate and essentially changed the way bluegrass music was played, laying the groundwork for the bluegrass superstars that followed and continued to develop the genre, about which more later.JD Crowe was…

BOMB TO A KNIFE FIGHT gets silly and hammer-blow heavy at the exact same time, before REALLY REALLY RAD compounds the madness and adds a crushing groove that’s near-impossible not to headbang along to, bringing some elements of stoner and sludge into the blender. EARTHQUAKE and MODERN FASHION keep it up, with a smile pinned over the top of a serious stank face asking the listener to ‘Come and fuck with The Barbarians!’ The only real hard left comes in the form of the last two tracks, SHARK OUT OF WATER and I AM THE SUBMARINE. Acting as two halves…

The Beatles recorded and performed a sizeable clutch of songs by the US rock’n’roll/R’n’B artists who opened the door and influenced them as music-hungry teenagers growing up in ’50s Liverpool. Their early marathon sets in clubs along Hamburg’s Reeperbahn were stuffed with covers. The first five Beatles LPs, bar A Hard Day’s Night, contained favourite songs previously recorded by other artists, and both John and Paul went on to record albums of rock’n’roll standards in their solo careers. Here, in their original versions, we present 15 non-Lennon/McCartney compositions that soundtracked the birth of The Beatles more than 60 years ago……
