Joyce Manor, turns out, is a weird place, Shining style. Today, Joyce Manor (the band, obvs) premiere the video for “Last You Heard of Me,” a track appearing on their highly anticipated fourth album Cody, released this Friday. Check the vid out below Directed by Christopher Good (who’s also worked with Okkervil River and Perfume Genius), “Last You Heard of Me” finds the California-based band performing at an ill-fated dinner party complete with roller-skating maids, fire-eaters, dancing skeletons, and a murderous house...

Every day of October offers something new; festivals, concerts, art exhibitions, and many more extensions of the Big Smoke’s historic lore and dynamic culture. So no matter your interests, the month ahead is sure to provide enough entertainment for everybody to enjoy. Take a look at the list below to find an eclectic mix of events taking place this...

rec-ing /rɛk’ɪŋ/ 1. put forward (music, artist) with approval as being suitable for a particular purpose or role. "George had been rec-ing some on-point wonk pop lately" What should I listen to today? It’s the burning question faced on a daily basis by the aurally-able. Now more than ever, deciding what music to play is a Sisyphean task, and it’s easy to feel the creep of choice paralysis staring into the labyrinthine library of releases past and present. That’s where a good set...

A journey – An amazing journey that started with a brief conversation outside a café in Enfield, North London. A journey that’s taken me on Rideouts, to club meetings and social events, and led to meet-ups with Mods all over the country. And a photographic journey that, as one Mod once said to me, “spread the love” about modern-day Mods. An education – I’ve always loved Mod culture. The style, the music, the lights and mirrors on the Vespas and...

It's no secret that we're big fans of Faith No More at TLE, so  it's always pleasing to see strong visual productions accompanying their delightfully angular noise. “This is one of those tracks that had to be a video, really, because it lends itself so much to visual imagery,” FNM bassist Bill Gould explains. “Given the song’s sense of Americana, it would have been easy to shoot this in Arizona or New Mexico, but having been to Macedonia several times,...

@BenGelblum Tickets still available (if you're quick) for 21rpm - today's spectacular all-dayer of electronica with AV shows, live acts and a rare London DJ-ing appearance from Touched IDM curator Martin Boulton who we spoke to last year. Following the success of last year's 20rpm all day festival hosted by Japanese electronic music label Mango & Sweetrice Records and UK's Bit-Phalanx label, 21rpm is taking over St Giles-In-The-Fields in Soho for an unforgettable get together of iconic and cult IDM acts from around the...

In third year of uni I took a bit of a mental turn on a night out and was suddenly convinced that everyone around me was a replicant; a robot masquerading as a human, with viscous porridge for blood and a hard-wired hatred for humanity. ‘I’m the only meatbag here,’ I thought, ‘how could I be so blind?’ My mind bucked and waned under the philosophical crisis of it. Then of course there was the physical threat. At any moment...

Get your a capella version of Dragonborn all sung out now (I know you're all doing it), Skyrim in Concert is coming! The first ever orchestral concert dedicated to the music of The Elder Scrolls® V: Skyrim, will premiere at the London Palladium on 16th November. Based on the award winning score by Jeremy Soule, Skyrim in Concert takes concert goers on a nostalgic, musical journey through the landscape of one of The Elder Scrolls’ most popular installments. Performed live by the Winterhold Philharmonic...

If there's one thing that TLE learned from our experience at the London Tattoo Con this year it's that our ink game is weak. Over the course of the weekend thousands of tattoo fans descended on the Tobaccoo Dock in Wapping to take in the latest and greatest in tattoo culture and show off some serious pieces. The art on display this year - from over 400 esteemed tattoo artists and studios from around the world - was absolutely mind bending; a...
