Forget the wind, forget the rain, forget the beast from the east and instead turn your attention to the west in anticipation of the summer thanks to this guaranteed anthem from Cornish folk rockers ENNOR. With their musical and emotional roots embedded in the far corners of Cornwall, ENNOR are bringing a slice of 'Californwall’ indie-folk to break through the bleak British winter with their new single ‘Farewell To Atlantis’. The four-piece’s infectious sound has already garnered attention from London...

(NOTE: I am going to try and keep the Spoilers to a minimum, however as I am an imperfect man whose life is a sham verging on post-apocalyptic horror, Spoilers will occur. As someone should post in every polling booth, Consider yourself warned!) When the Marvel-Netflix production of Jessica Jones premiered its first season back in 2015 it’s fair to say that it was the one television show that truly merited the use of the word original in the phrase...

On the back of International Women's Day we're all cruising into the weekend with Pink hits and Lily Allen's "Fuck you very much" blaring out of the stereo. But if you want a bit of electro, rhythmic calm mixed in to your daily dose of empowerment, you could do a lot worse than listen to Galway-based newcomer Cat Turner. Having started producing a year ago, Turner has honed a nurtured sound with immense technical maturity. She takes her cues from acts...

Venue: Camden Assembly 28.2.18 Photos: Grant Bailey (@grantbeam91) 2018 is going to be Fizzy Blood's year. The alt-rock quintet have just completed their first UK headline tour, ending in a packed-out performance at the Camden Assembly, which is their first show in the capital since Joining Jamie Lenman and friends in Tufnell Park for the first (and hopefully annual) Lenmania.

Sitting through the trailers at the cinema yesterday I couldn't help but think things have all started to get a bit complicated in the arts and entertainment biz. Wes Anderson's latest offering about canine pets that are exiled to a vast garbage-dump was the first to pique my curiosity, soon preceded by a bunch of old wrestlers that are trying to save their local pub and other such peculiarities. It's almost as if Hollywood's insistence to stick to the same blend of actors...

Now we're cooking, 2018. Things are always a little snoozy in January, but February has picked up the slack in good form with some solid, brave and unusual releases. To start, there's plenty of fun to be had with new drops from DON BROCO and a sweet, sultry cut from Ravyn Lenae. Rolo Tomassi's cheerily titled Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It is actually their most buoyant and creative record in years, while the quirky ensemble effort on Richard Russell's Everything...

Venue: Heaven, London 15.2.18 Photos: Graham Berry ( Black Tea Photography) Amenra and Boris on a co-headline tour? That's a lot of heavy squeezed onto a single stage.The pair of bands swung through London last week, bringing one of the darkest displays Heaven has (likely) ever bore witness to. TLE photographer Graham Berry and writer Jay Hampshire got themselves along to this supreme evening of post-metal to sacrifice their stereocillia to some seriously dense slabs of heavy music. Read Jay's...

This bold, provocative and thought-provoking new novel from acclaimed Australian writer and religious cult survivor Rhys Hagan is an impressive piece of historical fiction, set in Judea during the time of Jesus Christ. Hagan’s debut novel - the thriller Hunting Taylor Brown - met with rave reviews on its release in 2016. And while it is very different in theme and content, his excellent second work is no less gripping. Drawing on his own experiences with a religious cult, Hagan...
