Canterbury stoner rockers OHHMS are back with two more monolithic slabs of depth-charge doom on their latest LP 'Cold'. The tracks, titled 'The Anchor' and 'Dawn of the Swarm', clock in at over thirty minutes, so expect a crushing, winding ride of slow builds and powerful riffs. OHHMS are also heading out on an extensive tour in support on 'Cold'. Dates can be found below. Keep posted to TLE for our review of 'Cold' to follow later this week. OHHMS Tour...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent The 2015 Beer Price Index of cities from across the World has confirmed what many of us already suspected; London is a costly place to grab a pint. The average price of a beer in the capital is now £2.92 (how much!) making it the 13th costliest city in the World to drink beer and the most expensive in the UK by a long shot. As many of us prepare for our summer vacations, the GoEuro...

by Inka Piegsa I was lucky enough to live  in Turkey for four years, but I didn’t stay put in my nice little apartment near Bodrum on Turkey’s Aegean Sea. Of most interest - especially for those wanting to avoid typical tourist traps, is Turkey's Black Sea coast. Contrary to the harsh mountains of Anatolia and the summer heat on the Aegean and Mediterranean Coast, the Black Sea region is green, green and green, full of pastures, flowers, forests, grazing...

By Matt Keay To call The Happiness of the Katakuris a family drama would be to diminish its heart. To refer to it as a black comedy, however, would be to take away from the baffling and beautiful aspects of a film that contains a subplot of a Japanese confidence man claiming to be the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth II. Takashi Miike’s frankly bonkers 2001 musical/animation/love story/drama deals with the perils of setting up a bed and breakfast where the guests...

By Leslie Byron Pitt, @Afrofilmviewer In terms of adult mainstream cinema, the final quarter of last year was dominated by talk of the gender politics of David Fincher’s slick adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s novel; Gone Girl. The film, as well as the book, merrily sticks and twists the knife on the uglier side of a decaying relationship. Executed with extravagant twists and perverse cruelty, Gone Girl highlighted the battle of the sexes the only way America wants to these days,...

From at-home waxing to permanent solutions like electrolysis, there is a...

The heyday of British seaside towns is long passed. Memories of a Cornetto on the pebbles and a sunburnt nose down the lido have been replaced by peeling paint, shuttered shop-fronts and piss-smelling sand. Allow Sleaford Mods to distill the scene into three minutes of bittersweet seaside town antics in their new video for 'Tarantula Deadly Cargo.' If the title sounds familiar then you might just have a taste for 70's B-movies, the band taking the title from the classic arachno-flick of...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  will.i.am has spoken out about the advertising industry at Cannes Lions awards show, saying despite metrics that prove otherwise, people are simply not paying attention to it. The Black-Eyed Peas founder, singer and entrepreneur joined a panel of media and ad industry leaders this week at Cannes Lions to discuss the future of the creative industries. At the event, hosted by global communications group The&Partnership and The Wall Street Journal, will.i.am urged the advertising industry to...

By Ellery Nick @Ellery_Nick After the success of Red Violin and Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould director François Girard returns once more to the realm of music, this time accompanied by a choir of young male sopranos. Along for the harmonic capers is a supporting cast that includes Dustin Hoffman, Kathy Bates and Eddie Izzard. Safe hands all round.
