Jeans, once invented by Bavarian Jewish immigrant Levi Strauß stand for resilience, sustainability, ruggedness, persistence, and of course for style and taste. We wear our denim in all sizes and lengths, in all shapes and colours, stone-washed, used-looking, and what-not. Denim can outlive relationships, episodes, and even lives. A pair of jeans can b...

Before, they have presented their dark sound on their four-track demo in early 2020. Speaking darkness, this is the major and omnipresent element here. This begins with the band's name L'appel Du Vide (French: The Call of the Void) and the release's title "Abwärtsspirale" (German: "Downard Spiral"). Together with the cover artwork showing people walking down a staircase a...

Some might even go "Flip-a-dee-Flup-a-dee-Flop", and all of them are right. The source of this tremendous joy is the new single by Leicester's Garage and Post Punk trio 9 o'clock nasty. The new song goes by the name 'Darker Star' and although it is just a three-and-a-half-minute song, there is plenty to discover here. Thus, let us commence by taking a close liste...

The faces of  Marco Pierre White , Jamie Oliver , Gordon Ramsay , and Nigella Lawson  decorate four roasted sausages (are those German bratwursts?) which happily relax between a lemon slice and red cabbage (which again looks very Austrian or German). Content and self-confident, the four cooks who have become food in this picture do not seem to be frightened at all by the four-finger claw that longs for them. While the sausages mention...
