Single review, video premiere & interviewAngry! You’re AlrightDL onlyOut on 14 April 2026Angry! are from Southend On Sea and sing songs about people and things that irritate and annoy them, in a catchy lo-fi punk style. Formed in 2019 they have been a duo for many years, with (soon to be deleted) low-key releases on German Shepherd Records, but this is their first release since becoming a full four piece band last September. They may be ‘angry’ but this song has a sense of humour and irony about it – and lets the subject condemn themselves with their own words…
Superb collaboration from an americana legend and bluegrass torchbearers.Well, where to start with Jim Lauderdale? The man is so prolific that the virtual ink on the review of his last album, Country Super Hits Volume 2, has barely dried, and along comes The Birds Know. Rather than a companion piece to that album, The Birds Know is more of a follow-up to what is, in Lauderdale years, the positively ancient 2023 album The Long and Lonesome Letting Go. That album featured the International Bluegrass Music Association award-winning torchbearers, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys and that collaboration is resurrected here.Lauderdale was so…

Established Yorkshire songstress reinforces her reputation for excellence with fine mini-album.Any new single release ahead of a new album is always a teaser. After the video premiere of her new single The Losing Hand on this site back in November of last year, Elaine Palmer aficionados will have been licking their lips at the album to come.

Our third 80s-inspired feature in a month… safe to say we’re fully immersed at this point. But when a synth nails that balance of nostalgia and forward-thinking design, it’s hard to resist.

The latest incarnation builds on that legacy – refined, expanded, and still just as inspiring to explore.

Originally published in Uncut Take 177 (February 2012 issue)… At the dawn of the ’70s, Creedence Clearwater Revival were the biggest band in the world – a brilliant and driven hit machine with deep roots in American tradition. By 1972, though, it was all over, and the ex-bandmates embarked on a bitter war that still continues, 40 years later. Here, Fogerty tells his side of a remarkable story – and then hears the very different stories of his old Creedence sparring partners. “I had so much anger,” says Fogerty, “I couldn’t play those songs…” ________________ “There were long, dark times”…
Across the album, Joseph moves fluidly between soul, rap and experimental textures, expanding on earlier singles like “Pluto Baby”, “If Time Could Talk” and “Peace Of Mind”. His self directed visuals continue to mirror that approach, blurring realism with something more abstract.At its core, Forever Ends Someday reflects on time, memory and change.
