Mayor Marvin Rees confirmed Banksy had offered his support

I’m going to say it. It's needlessly convoluted but I like the word and I want to use it. Look at our latest playlist and tell me June wasn’t the most dichotomous month on the 2018 release calendar so far? We’ve got truly world-class atmospheric, experimental jazz rubbing shoulders with some nu-metal/jump-cut metalcore crossover.

Venue: The Lexington, Islington Date: 22.6.18 Support, Fresh, itoldyouiwoudeatyou, Conjurer Photos: Graham Berry (@BlkTPhotography) Words: Grant Bailey (@GrantDBailey) They should have booked a bigger venue. For weeks the date has been looming; and odd clash of scenes and styles.

Venue: The Lexington, Islington Date: 22.6.18 Support, Fresh, itoldyouiwoudeatyou, Conjurer Photos: Graham Berry (@BlkTPhotography) Look at this line-up and tell me you can’t feel the posi vibes? The Lexington was the venue for a meeting of scenes last Friday, as fans of emotive indie, forward thinking pop punk and bruising metal clashed in an enclosed space. Luckily enough, the combination of this unlikely lot made for a very good time indeed, all held together by a banner performance from headliners...

Mark Harris took a trip to Firkin Point on Monday and sat on a chair to capture the special moment at 10.30pm.

By Mary Tracy In 2013 David Graeber told the world what many of us secretly believed but were too afraid to admit out loud: many modern jobs appear to be bullshit because they are, in fact, bullshit. Graeber wrote an article titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs” for the magazine “Strike!”, and the piece went quietly viral. He has now expanded it into a book, bringing together economics, politics, history and personal testimonies to unravel the mystery of why...
