By Ben New @squareleg A man wakes up, his alarm didn’t go off. He moves to the kitchen, the taps aren’t working. A glance out the window to a neighboring block reveals someone banging at a window, calling for help. We try to leave and the door is glued shut then comes the sledgehammer whacks from one of the neighbor‘s wall, the whole time accompanied from insistent shouting from the elderly neighbor from the other. This is the very intriguing...
By Declan Roberts (@DeclanMR) Savageness isn’t a word you’d want affiliated with yourself, but Yannis and co. embrace that very nature on fourth album What Went Down. It isn’t until you hear all ten songs that you understand their desire to be so brutal. As they honed hard-hitting rock on Holy Fire, Foals have never looked back from the wilderness. The title track opener is unforgiving to the eardrums as the battering ram cacophony of Oxford’s finest break down walls...
By Michelle Ryan (@ShellRyan33) Infinity Girl may not be the hottest name on everyone’s lips right now but give it a minute and you’ll be glad you stopped by to check them out. The group emerged in 2012 with their Stop Being On My Side album before releasing an EP later that same year, starting to build buzz around their noise. Their sound became decidedly experimental and deviant. Now, the Brooklyn-by-way-of-Boston band have taken another turn in their musical navigations...
By Rosie Wilson [email protected] What would you do with £16,000? Invest it, buy a new car, or go on an amazing holiday – right? Would you consider using it to keep your legs hair-free? Well, based on having a wax every 8 weeks (the maximum recommended time to go between waxes for best results, according to experts) and the average cost of a leg wax, you could be spending that without even knowing it. The average woman who commits to waxing...
By Laura Casewell It's no secret that a pearly white smile is something that many of us aim for, but our modern diet (who doesn’t like a glass of red wine) can often hinder our quest for "perfect" white teeth. But what makes white teeth so special? And is it really the secret to a more attractive appearance? We sat down with Dr. van Vurren at IGDP in London to talk all about our obsession with a whiter smile, how it...
By Priya Kapoor, 1&1 Internet Ltd - The case for .London There are 839,000 SMEs in London (employing 0-249 employees) according to figures from the 2013 “Business Population Estimates” published by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills.

By Tom Stocks @actorawareness I have been running the Actor Awareness campaign for two years now. The campaign is slowly gathering support from all corners of the industry social media, local newspapers and bloggers. The deeper I look the more apparent it becomes to me that working class actors can not seem to find a way into acting without bags of money. The awareness is at an all time high with high profile actors speaking of the issue and new...
By Miranda Schiller @mirandadadada How to Change the World looks back on the early days of Greenpeace, when the organisation was a small, motley crew of environmental activists from Vancouver. With a keen eye for opportunities to generate media attention, they brought a common cause to the emerging environmental movement: thousands of people joined the call to “save the whales”. But the original group itself fell apart to give way to what would become the global organisation that Greenpeace is...
By Michael McNulty An intense, thrilling piece of frontline film-making. Cartel Land’s in the thick of it, run and gun, handheld cinematography is enough to enjoy on its own. The film opens in the middle of the Mexican desert in the dead of the night as a group of cartel members cook up a batch of meth. One admits, as thick white smoke swirls in the black around them, that what they are doing is wrong, but that if they...
