Not long until The Inbetweeners Movie is out now. Not long until we find out whether Jay and the gang's clung-craving antics have seamlessly transferred to the WKD-soaked soil of Malia for the big screen, or if the whole shebang is the biggest pile of filmic excrement since the big pile of excrement that floated into Harry Enfield's mouth in Kevin And Perry Go Large – the film we're praying this one won't emulate. To mark the release we got James Buckley, who plays Jay in the series and film, to take a bit of a rock ...

On August 22, 1969, the Beatles held their last photo shoot at John and Yoko’s British home Tittenhurst Park before the band disbanded.  As the last Beatles’ shots were being taken in Berkshire,  9 miles southeast of Birmingham city center Steve (“Stephen”) Cradock was being born.  On Cradock’s birthdate the Rolling Stones ruled the U.S. charts with their No. 1 smash hit “Honky Tonk Woman.” By Cradock’s first birthday the Beatles had disbanded and it had been almost a year since the Stones placed a single song in the top 40.  Yet, somehow, those early childhood ...

Ocean Colour Scene: big in the nineties, now something of a joke. Maybe if they’d released ‘Profit in Peace’ five years later they’d be regarded as brave protest singers. Anyway, OCS guitarist Steve Cradock is putting out a new solo album, and he’s hit on a great way to get people to take him seriously: getting comedy actor James Buckley, aka one of the Inbetweeners, to sing and play guitar on it. Oh, hang on…

A Revival has come and gone, with 21st century Mods able to choose from a plethora of styles. Now a special event in Brighton aims to unite the many facets. Taking place ...

Mercury nominated songwriter Paul Weller has ranted against the Royal Family in a new interview. Paul Weller has always had a political edge. The Jam took on far Right groups with 'Down In The Tube Station' while The Style Council were one of the foremost supporters of left wing group The Red Wedge. However the Modfather's solo career has been relatively a-political. Returning with his new album 'Wake Up The Nation' it's clear that the singer has simply had enough of the current climate in Britain. With references to politicians and the Royal Family, 'Wake Up The Nation ...
