With Liverpool packed with gigs on a usual Saturday night, SFN‘s James Ainsworth took an indifferent trip to the Arts Club for a mostly unimpressive night of music headlined by The BoHos.

Just as the mad genius Thundercat hits the Invisible Wind Factory, SFN‘s Jack Cinnamond takes a trip to the grandest venue in Liverpool to catch the city debut of the renowned jazz artist.

Peter Hook, founding member of Joy Division and New Order, returned to Liverpool last night with The Light in-tow to preform the two classic Substance albums in a single set, and he proved a lot along the way. With Hooky‘s on-going, looming legal issues with his former bandmates, it was an emotive move for Hooky and…

The American indie-pop band Black Kids have officially released their sophomore attempt ROOKIE finally after almost ten years from the band’s debut.
