Offset 2009: The DiS review
This year's Offset took place, as always, in Hainault Forest and it would have been rude to turn down the opportunity to see the likes of Let's Wrestle, Damo Suzuki, The Horrors, Future of the Left, Pulled Apart By Horses, Wild Beasts, The xx and about a hundred or so others.»
Leeds 2009: The DiS review Pt. 2
Radiohead? Radiohead? Screw that. Reading and Leeds are rock festivals, damn it, and I’ll have mine with Jaegermeister and a distortion pedal, thank you very much. Sure, there’s no ‘metal day’ as such this year, but there’s still plenty going on, thanks to a liberal smattering of heavy bands across the three largest stages, and the two-day Lock Up tent. So then: black t-shirt and board shorts at the ready, I take to the moshpit.»

Guest Column: Big Scary Monsters
I started writing this some weeks ago, sitting in the back of our pimped up little hire car as we sped across the US, enjoying the unbelievably good US classic rock radio and relishing the chance to turn onto a new road every 150 or so miles. Unfortunately, thanks to the busy nature of the trip and the ensuing email catch-up (welcome home!) it has taken me until now, sitting in my front room in drizzly Oxford, only just back into sleeping on UK time and proudly sporting a “Don’t Mess With Texas” t-shirt (just one small part of my strong new tourist wardrobe), to find time to sit and write this thing up. Lets start at the start shall we? »

"I know we come across as dorks": catching up with Dananananaykroyd
