The Trinity Centre in Bristol was alive with anticipation as The Waeve, the brilliant collaboration between Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall. Formed in 2021, this duo has carved out a unique sonic identity, blending cinematic British folk-rock, post-punk, and free fall jamming. Their two studio albums, the self-titled debut released in 2023 and the follow-up City Lights in 2024, have showcased their evolution into a bold and expansive soundscape.

With Mother’s Day (Mothering Sunday) upon us on Sunday, March 30th, let’s take a moment to honour the incredible women in our lives by diving into the soundtrack of their youth. Music has a way of connecting us across generations, creating cherished moments that stay with us forever. For many of us, those long car journeys in the late '70s and early '80s weren’t just a commute—they were impromptu concerts starring the likes of ABBA, Cliff Richard, and The Beatles.

The next big sound in British indie rock is here: Welly, a band with a knack for capturing the pulse of suburban life, has today released their highly anticipated debut LP, Big In The Suburbs. Brimming with sharp wit and masterful storytelling, the album delivers anthems designed for those stuck between the roundabouts and cul-de-sacs of everyday existence.

'Dancing Don't Feel Right', recorded and mixed with Ollie Searle at Humm Studios and mastered by John Webber (David Bowie, Duran Duran, Coach Party) is a refreshing dose of escapism which feels both incredibly current yet built to last, their signature brand of genre-fluidity ensuring they exist completely outside of time. The track urges listeners to leave their inhibitions and responsibilities at the door and lean into the things they shouldn't.

Walking into Loves Cafe on a crisp March evening, it was already clear that this wasn’t going to be your run-of-the-mill gig. The pre-show festivities, organised by Getdown Services Appreciation founders Andy and Kerry, set the tone perfectly with a peculiar crisp-tasting competition that paid homage to the band’s debut album, Crisps. Buckets of bewildering flavours delighted—and occasionally repulsed—their small but devoted community of fans. This oddball spirit carried right into the night.

Live music is a visceral experience—a shared moment of connection between performers and their audience. But in a world where a concert is as much about social media posts as it is about music, the role of smartphones at gigs has sparked fierce debate. Are these devices enhancing the experience, allowing us to preserve memories and share them with the world, or are they detracting from the moment and stripping away the essence of live music?

Music, an inseparable part of human culture, has been shaped not only by the artists who create it, but also by the ways it is consumed. Since the late 1950s, the tools and formats used by music lovers to immerse themselves in sound have evolved dramatically, reflecting technological innovation, cultural shifts, and consumer preferences. This journey through time uncovers a fascinating interplay between format and fandom.
