Sickboy, acclaimed British graffiti artist, brings his second major solo exhibition Heaven & Earth to London’s The Old Truman Brewery this November. 'Heaven & Earth' is a celebration of earthly sins and heavenly fantasies which outlines his figurative fall from grace into his own darkest unconscious in collaboration with some of the biggest names in the Global urban art scene. If you think you’re unfamiliar to Sickboy’s work, you may remember the prolific street work, such as the ‘Temple’, sprayed in the McDonalds palette, on walls and wheelie bins worldwide. The show is inspired by semiotics and symbolism and ...

Dublin 5 piece, Ghost Estates were formed from the remnants of two pretty different bands, SickBoy and 8Ball. Named after the post ‘Celtic Tiger’ Ireland phenomena of unoccupied and unfinished housing projects, this coming together of forces results in a mish mash of different styles which works ever so well. Debut single ‘Paris’ is electronic, euphoric in [...]

Las disculpas por el retraso no bastaran. La situación fue que estas semanas tuve que dedicarme por completo a finalizar algunos asuntos en la universidad. Pero vamos, aunque con días de retraso, es hora de cumplir con aquel deber casi sagrado en el que se ha convertido MAP . La edición de este mes, se presenta particularmente especial, ya que cuenta con la participación de Iván Fajardo , vocalista de ERA, banda que inauguro las contribuciones de Perú en el Music Alliance Pact, en octubre del 2008.

Rosamojo & The White Rabbit are a Camden town three-piece embarking on their first excursion into London's indie scene and boy, are they doing it with attitude. Citing influences from the Beatles and Billie Holiday to T.Rex and Patti Smith, Maria Rosa Young (vocals), Simz (six-foot killer bassist) and Sickboy (drums) have made what melodic, sleazy rock outfits like the Gossip could have been - better. Much, much better. 'Girl on a Motorcycle' is apparently a tribute to the free-falling Marianne Faithful, and rolls and heaves along with the grace of a swan. Big rock sound carried very lightly, and ...
