GOOD MORNING, ANDROID!

in case you haven’t seen this yet! Zan Lyons should do a full length film asap.
another question comes up when you see this: when was the last time someone in the UK thought about the future? seems a whole generation of UK teenagers is in chains - prisoners of the past.

I KISSED YOU IN THE SHOWER, I KISSED YOU IN THE CAR

OK, OK, so the EYHO Blog is certainly not the first site on the Net to report this news but nevertheless the demise of one of Sheffield’s finest exports, The Long Blondes, deserves a brief but heartfelt obituary.
News of the band’s split first reached my ears via Tuesday’s NME newsletter (yeah, sorry folks, I have [...]

THE ACCELERATED CULTURE OF BROKEN BRITAIN

THE ACCELERATED CULTURE OF BROKEN BRITAIN

The term “The Soundtrack of your life” might sound a little clichéd but its relevance shouldn’t be underestimated. A tight, perceptive LP can not only predict shifting musical fashions but can also be an astute commentary of the times.

Blondie’s new wave masterpiece Parallel Lines was a classic of the genre, [...]

A TURBULENT FRIENDSHIP THAT CAN ONLY END IN MURDER!

autoKratz: “I don’t feel we’re a typical British band at all.”

“Neither of us is typical in our approach to the world.”
Untypical is definitely one adjective that can be used to describe autoKratz.
Even David’s first encounter with bandmate Russell was far from conventional: “Some pissed up wanker puked on my shoes outside a club. I was [...]
