Review: Alpines - Empire

Review: Alpines – Empire

My first encounter with South London synth-pop songstress Catherine Pockson and her symphonic side kick Bob Matthews was when I reviewed Gold, earlier this year. Initially, the easiest way to establish the electro pop outfit was through comparisons; the inescapable yet tedious references to Pockson’s apparent inheritance of certain idiosyncrasies...
Review: The Raid

Review: The Raid

It has been a while since an ‘all-out’ action movie has impressed. So many Hollywood actioners tend to promise so much excitement but deliver little in audience thrills. Instead, we are bombarded with CGI explosions and stunts that are over-played in trailers and featurettes before anyone has set foot in...

Adapt Your Routine - Shwop

Adapt Your Routine – Shwop

  Our relationship with rules started when we were young. Learning the rules in order to break them. How far can we put our foot across the line… what can we get away with without being caught? When we were younger it was our parents rules. But once we’ve flown the nest without our parents...
Sarah Harvey: Strokes of Fluidity

Sarah Harvey: Strokes of Fluidity

Capturing underwater scenes with perfect realism is an ability many fine artists strive to achieve. It would seem that for London-born painter Sarah Harvey, though, such a skill has long been mastered. Browsing through her gallery, which features many paintings of figures floating underwater, I was stunned by the dexterity Harvey has developed in representing...

Frozen in Time – The Time Capsule – Wimbledon Theatre

I’ve often wished I had access to a time machine that could bring items from the past into the present. Through objects we learn everything about the psyche and personality of the people that made and used them. So it was with the excitement of a time travelling detective, ready to unearth the mysteries of...

New Music: Tall Ships

New Music: Tall Ships

There’s something about support bands that I’ve really come to enjoy, it’s that that while you don’t usually expect them to be as good as the main act, I can still be constantly surprised when I talk more about the support act than the band I actually paid to see after the gig. I was...

This up and coming artist has already secured herself some sought after festival...
Review: The Avengers

Review: The Avengers

I have been waiting for this movie ever since I read my first Avengers comic almost ten years ago. The hype surrounding this movie could not be bigger with multiple movies leading up to this moment. The right man was chosen to direct this epic blockbuster, Joss Whedon did not disappoint.   If you’ve watched...
