Knife Party – Abandon Ship: Review

 Steven Kellow    Music  

I came across a fantastic description of Knife Party the other day as I was surfing the web and reading about their new, upcoming album.  The discussion was about how their album had been pushed further, to late November now, after being original planned for early October, then late October, then early November.  There were a few Deftones references as people legitimately had never heard of the band, formed by a breakaway duo of Rob Swire & Gareth McGrillen from drum and bass legends Pendulum.  — Read more →

Opinion Poll Centre

Ann an Gàidhlig tha GOC againn, — Read more →
