Westerman: Live Review and Interview at Clwb Ifor Bach

By Max Modell WestmanÔÇÖs music offers a thoughtful, meditative look at the world from a singular, slightly off-kilter perspective, placed on a backdrop of electronic, atmospheric pop. This often creates a contrast between the louder moments in the production and WestermanÔÇÖs quieter delivery and performance. It feels at moments as if Westerman has retreated fully inside the music and the sound is the only thing … Continue reading Westerman: Live Review and Interview at Clwb Ifor Bach

ÔÇ£Being an artist is fuckedÔÇØ – a conversation with milo (the rapper)

Interview by Rowan Lees After publishing a short summary piece for my Issue 168 of Quench, I have since sat on this full interview recording for almost two months. The conversation changed my life.

Interview & Review with School Life Director, Neasa Ní Chianáin and Co-Director/Producer, David Rane

We might think weÔÇÖre stressed out now, with looming university assignments and deadlines creeping around the corner, but our primary … Continue reading Interview & Review with School Life Director,┬áNeasa N├¡ Chian├íin┬áand Co-Director/Producer,┬áDavid Rane

Eccentric wild-haired rockers The Darkness are back with their brand-new album ÔÇÿPinewood SmileÔÇÖ, as well as a huge nation-wide winter tour. After band departures, and a relative lack of activity over the past two years, these new projects are a statement of intent from the four-piece that, even in their seventeenth year, they are still committed to, as per their single ÔÇÿSolid GoldÔÇÖ, ÔÇ£blow[ing] peopleÔÇÖs … Continue reading An Interview with The Darkness
