A Review of 2006: DiS is what it's all about, yo

In Depth by Raziq Rauf

2006 has been a year that’s lived up to and exceeded all expectations. With enough fantastic albums to treble the length of my Albums of the Year list, and a gig list long enough to frighten even the hardiest tour manager, I’ve seen plenty of goodness this year. Luckily we’re on hand to jog those memories and help you reminisce about the good times and the couple of sad moments which brought us all back down to Earth with a big bump. This is 2006...»

Camden Crawl 2006

In Depth by DiS Festivals

The Camden Crawl™ is an incessant pitch of desperate dreams and stained ale teeth; a rotter’s journey to the centre of the Dublin Castle [indie development hell] that celebrates punctuality and order over diminished responsibility and leather jackets. A playground for the sensible band warrior, offering Joe Punter the opportunity to see all his favourite junior artists in one long stretch, over a concrete path of Converse-tread doom. »

DiScover: Les Incompétents

In Depth by Colin Roberts

Adorned in sweat, vintage and off-the-wall attire, Frederick Bang, singer and spokesperson for West London's Les Incompeténts is filled with hope, fear and ideas.
