You're gonna think one of two things here... either A) I'm some crabby old curmudgeon who don't like anything or B) the undercard of this year's lineup sucks. I'd vote for the latter, because as you all know, I am full of nothing but love. Most of the time... But I got no love for this gal EMA , a chick who may have listened to a little bit too much Kate Bush and My Bloody Valentine in her day because her music sounds like a bit of a cross between those two. If that combo ...

Episode 2 of Rockfeedback Presents... Series 5 has us at the Underage Festival in London’s Victoria Park witnessing how the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club, The Midnight Beast, Tribes, Pulled Apart By Horses, Spector and more convinced a field full of 14-18 year olds to go completely loopy.

As autumnal solemnity seeps through fogged windows in the despondently lit attic space of The Old Blue Last, irrespective of its branding as a 'micro festival' Binnacle shares little with the debauched, fancily dressed, booze-reliant marathons recently indulged in in fields, airspaces, air hangars, Serbian forts, country parks, cheese farms, grounds of the grandest stately homes, etc. It does, however, boast a spectrum of what have (in some cases quite aptly / in others hopefully incorrectly) been dubbed 'future sounds'. Organised by Russ Tannen, the programmer for the haunt that arises ominously from a desolate corner of Great Eastern Street and ...

Words - Matt Canham Photos - Louise Graham So on Sunday, explosive riots tore east London to shreds and left the city trembling in their wake. And on Monday a copycat riot took the already shredded shreds and re-shredded them, making a double shred phenomenon which threatened to close the city completely. Yawn. What people were really wondering, as they roamed the streets looking for an attractive police van to relieve of a window or two, was this: How did Underage festival go? Well, after the usual queuing, searching and freebie giveaways (notably a particularly large soft drink company, a high street ...

Why should I go? A UK festival exclusive, it could be the only chance you get this year to hear Kanye West say something utterly mental. Any interesting tidbits of information? Eastnor Deer Park was enclosed in the fifteenth century and it is highly probable that much of its native tree content is derived from the original forest cover of Malvern Chase which dates back to Norman times. This makes The Big Chill the only UK festival which appeals equally to both music fans and really old tree enthusiasts. The line-up: Saturday night will be headlined by Kanye West – a ...
