…Restored and newly mixed by the band’s Archivist Andy Gamble from tapes found in Francis Rossi’s library. This 2CD edition features the full 18 track concert.
Recorded at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon on 27th June 1979 as part of the bands If You Can’t Stand the Heat Tour, this is regarded as one of the most sought-after live shows from the band and shows Status Quo at their loudest and proudest.
‘Rockin’ All Over the World’ barrels out with cheerful abandon, then ‘Down Down’ grinds forward on that unmistakable Quo chug. ‘Roll Over Lay Down’ stretches into a crowd-pleasing stomp, the band sounding thoroughly pleased with the volume of their own amplifiers.
Fiddle player Rowan Piggott and banjoist Joe Danks first hit the scene as 
Following years of IVF and an on-stage miscarriage during a 2023 tour (she finished her set), 
There is a sharp, choppy wind blowing through the atomised urban decay on Conscious Pilot’s debut album, Human Poultry. The Glasgow-via-Yorkshire outfit are an act reflective of said atomisation, with the band a formation of members of Cheap Teeth, Catholic Action and Big Girl’s Blouse. This, however, doesn’t mean that their collective effort is to be dismissed. This debut is a hip-twisting, twangy relic amongst contemporary post-punk-inspired indie rock. The record sees the marriage of classic post-punk rhythms akin to fellow Glaswegians Orange Juice and Teenage Fanclub, and the modern, sleazy tones of contemporary post punk. Lyrics from Joe Laycock and bassist Jack Sharp reflect a humdrum malaise that has blanketed modern life, particularly on the tracks…

Released by Avie Records, Crossing the Bar explores the wide expressive possibilities of the contemporary marimba. Percussionist Mika Stoltzman assembles a rich and varied program that moves fluidly across styles and eras, ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach to John Zorn, with Claude Debussy and 21st century composer Miho Hazama in between. Built around close collaborations with several musicians, most notably clarinetist Richard Stoltzman (Mika’s husband and regular collaborator), the program brings together arrangements and contemporary works, including several world premieres. The album opens with the monumental Chaconne from Bach’s Partita No. 2 in an arrangement for marimba and strings. From the outset, the approach highlights…

Once mainly something that existed in a live setting, the group drifts further into its own orbit with a second collection of songs. What began as a collaboration between two voices now expands with the presence of a third, adding new layers that sometimes verge on something almost familiar.
Jobi Riccio knows that while a quiet heart-to-heart can solve many problems, sometimes the heart needs a giant, all-caps billboard, especially when the world around that massive sign gets louder by the day. As each new track on her new album 
It’s swift, at just 24 minutes across nine songs, but The Afterparty is Lykke Li at her very, very best, which makes her recent claim at an LA listening party that it could be her last, devastating. It might only be May, but it’s already a serious contender for album of the year. For those of you who had a Brat Summer, The Afterparty comes next.
‘Blue’, one of the singles from Deb Never’s debut album, tells a story of unexpected meetings and chance-encounter love. “It’s the way you creep into my life,” she sings in its hook. “Like your favourite out of the blue.” It’s an apt description of Deb’s own aesthetic: songs that arrive unannounced and unfurl gradually and patiently.
“Look out for one another, watch your drinks, respect each other.” It seems simple, but in such fraught times
