They’ve already caused quite a commotion in the Anglosphere and beyond, but if Cloud Control ultimately do become one of those countless one-hit wonder bands that pop in and out ...

It's a difficult time for independent music. What with the rise of illegal downloading, the problems facing the British high street and, y'know, rioters burning entire back catalogues simply getting by is mighty difficult.

It's been a week already? Woah. Read on to see what has been on our minds in the last 168 hours, music and culture wise that is. You probably don't want to know what actually has been on our minds. It wouldn't be pretty. This week I've mostly been listening to Team Me in preparation for their appearance at Surf Wax tomorrow ( here ). The sun has also put me in a party mood so I've been listening to the latest record by The Go! Team , The Ruby Suns record from last year and the Avi ...

On a scouting mission to Melbourne late last year, Campus A Low Hum founder Blink caught up with RICKY FRENCH to discuss what sets his festival apart from others – and why he’s garnered just as many detractors as supporters.
