Ahead of their set, ClashMusic tracked down Dog Is Dead to ...

More pertinently however, it also happens to be the latest stop on our trawl through a selection of the finer festival happenings of this imminent ...

Taking a step away from the hip hop indebted ‘Love You Up EP’, ‘Paint It Red’ is electronic soul at its best and showcases Punch’s production prowess as well as his experimental leanings – those hi hats you’re hearing are actually spray paint cans – whilst ...
