End Of The Road 2007: the DiS review

In Depth by A bunch of drunk DiS writers

Widely regarded as one of the best new festivals on the British circuit, End Of The Road brings the summer season to a close – the rescheduled Truck excepted in this instance – with not so much a bang, but more a dainty shuffle and a fizz-pop. Eclectic within a field though its line-up is, there’s a quality control evident that’s not always obvious at such boutique – whatever – events. To cut a not-long-really story shorter: it’s quite The Good...»

Whatever. It's certainly the biggest Bestival yet, anyway, with some 250 acts - there or thereabouts - performing over three days...»

A Month In Records: July 2006

In Depth by Mike Diver

As July slides away into memory’s mists, one can’t help but feel that summer – so swiftly and brutally upon us though it was – is slipping through our fingers with all the fluidity of the Coke Zero that DiS has taken to consuming by the tanker-load. Really, why is it that Diet Coke by another name is so appealing? Is it because a guy advertises the stuff on the telly, or are black cans simply that cool? Answers on a postcard to some other address than ours – we really don’t have the time to read your nonsensical musings on the matter.»
