With 350 bands from more than 20 countries, an expo showcasing an array of products and services and a slew of panels, forums, roundtables and seminars with world-class keynote speakers, Liverpool Sound City is full on. There is so much to see it could easily induce choice paralysis… do you watch that intriguing documentary or attend that seminar that has a great panel discussing a subject you want more insight on? Do you catch that new band you’ve heard lots of people raving about or go and see that already established act that you know will smash it? Clash ...

As I sit down to scribe my look back at my first trip to Brighton for The Great Escape, I’m travelling on a bus from London to Liverpool, about to hit the ground running for the third music festival of this trip. Heading overseas to a music festival is nothing new for me, but it’s certainly nothing I take for granted. It’s an incredible opportunity to see some of the best talent in the world – new, upcoming and established – alongside our own Australian artists trying to make it in unique settings and locations.  Before I get onto ...

WHAT: More than 400 acts across 30 venues WHY: Because Liverpool has no shortage of musical outlets and keenness to foster its history and reputation.

WHEN: 17th-19th May WHERE: Across Liverpool HOW: £45 for all the gigs, £150 for everything WHO: THURSDAY: Slow Club, Still Corners ...

Optimistically touted the 'first major festival of the summer', with the Saturday of this year's Camden Crawl quite factually cooler than Christmas the notorious bank holiday blowout gets off to a somewhat slow and strangely tepid start. Three Trapped Tigers bemuse with virtuoso, if exquisitely accomplished aspirational unpleasantness that's ultimately as insipid as an infinity wired into Xfm, whilst Samuel Manville's Hymns breed a reedy unholiness in the grim depths of The Underworld. Its newly snazzed exterior belies its inner filth, just as Manville et al. negate any originality through the assimilation of the loud/quiet dynamics ...
