Irene Mackie talks about how, despite the shambles that is Brexit, the French and their music are still making waves across the channel. Just over a week ago, I spent ten days in Lyon, France and it quickly became one of the most inspiring cities I have ever been to. Besides developing an undying love … More Vive la France!
Have you ever dated an absolute jerk (perhaps called Johnny?) who treats you wonderfully one minute then awfully the next? Well, The Drums’ Jonny Pierce certainly has, as we find out on new single Heart Basel which displays the classic bouncy, gushing, indie-pop that characterises the band.

You start to ignore everyone around you and perhaps, for just one fleeting moment, you might feel slightly…. cool? Well now, courtesy of Diet Cig, you can say a big ‘Fuck Off’ … More Diet Cig / Link In Bio
Now, I’m not one for advocating aggression. In fact, my superhuman ability to avoid ever engaging in a game of rugby would totally support this. Such a barbaric sport.
