Iceland Airwaves: The DiS review

Madness. This is what you’re in for here at Iceland Airwaves, which has become a yearly pilgrimage for many music enthusiasts, press and industry. Once you’ve been, the chances are that sooner or later you’ll be coming back. Late-night mash-ups, hip crowd, a cryptic language and most importantly an overdose of pretty damn good local and international bands. My recollections are scarce and a crushing hangover is imminent… »

This Week's Singles: 21/09/2009

In Depth by Wendy Roby

After the rampant filth and manic superlatives of last week’s reviews, this time round there is a fair amount of boot-cooling going on. Good job really, as I am not sure my nerves can stand all the giddy.»

September is upon us and that means festival season is as good as over. Thank goodness then, for Rob Da Bank and his space-themed Bestival, a one last hurrah and glorious standout in a dizzying summer calendar. There's even the threat of sun this year. B»

Glastonbury Diary 2009: Thursday

In Depth by Andrzej Lukowski

The morning commences with a light spot of rain, a mild grumble that the Guardian’s Guide includes no details of today’s bill (we’re continually a bit vague on what the exact legal status of this is – info about Thursday is remarkably hard to come by, to the extent we wonder if there’s something weird with the license), and a last connection to the internet on phone before monstrous veil of static descends (conspiracy theory #1 – festival sponsors Orange were SABOTAGING O2), which reveals the horrible news that Steven Wells has died. The first of several weird shocks this weekend, though sadly one of the more overlooked ones.»

In Depth by Rob Webb

Metronomy's Joseph Mount put more thought into our mixtape challenge than most, picking videos for each selection and even writing his own little intro para. We like it when bands do that!»

A Month in Records: September 2008

In Depth by Rob Webb

In many respects, September is a manic time of year - students and all that - but not, it seems, in terms of records. The standout release this month was by far and away TV On The Radio's Dear Science - the only album to score above 8, in fact»

Truck 2007: the DiS review

In Depth by A bunch of drunk DiS writers

It’s the Truck that nearly never was: the tenth in a series, an anniversary to be proud of, but one so nearly ruined irreparably by the summer’s inclement weather (to say the least). Rescheduled, the Oxfordshire two-dayer battled on, staged over September 22-23, and DiS was there to catch the action...»
