This Week's Singles: 10/01/11
In my first column of the year I intend to cheat, gleefully ignoring release dates partly because it is so quiet out and partly because The Shops have been sitting on extra copies of things with their doughy Christmas arses; oh there they are. My thing, my RULES, MAN - which is why we start the year in a gloriously positive fashion. And have TWO winners. Hello! So, you look well. Did you get any nice presents?»
Spotifriday #70 - This Week on DiS as a playlist
This week's Spotifriday playlist featuring some supreme cuts from the likes of Napoleon IIIrd, Errors, British Sea Power, James Blake, Twin Shadow and much, much more. Well, a little bit more anyway. »
DiS meets My Chemical Romance: "It's hard to stay dirty"
Gerard Way needs to wash his t-shirt. But then, it’s probably all part of the futuristic vagabond image My Chemical Romance have taken on for their new album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. Either way, DiS is sure his mother would disapprove.»
Hove Festival 2007: the DiS review
For a whole week, we barely touched a drop: too expensive, too cold, not a thing like what us Brits are used to. A dry county, Hove might as well have been; not a sip, not a tipple. For a week, teetotal. Lies: we just didn’t eat...»
DiS's Download Diary: "sweaty and fat teenagers bearing token slogans..."
DiS didn’t make it to Download this year. Sorry about that. But one of our mates, Marc Bird, did – when he’s not running pretty-good-actually indie label Signature Tune (website), he’s running around the place looking for the best pop-punk parties this side of a Fat Wreck office blow-out...»
DiS's interviews of 2006: DiScoveries, heavy-hitters and silly Some Questions
2006: twelve whole months of DiS running about the country, up stairs and down basements, into hotel rooms and outside into pub gardens, chasing bands. It's what we do, so that you don't have to.»
A Review of 2006: DiS is what it's all about, yo
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...»

New Emo Goth Danger? My Chemical Romance confront tabloid criticism
"Papers like that will never do their homework, but it is kind of funny to call it ‘emo death cult’, or whatever it was called." A blast from the past (2006 in fact). Read our interview with the band»
My Chemical Romance vs Marmaduke Duke
This week I have found myself at opposing ends of the theatre circuit both geographically (in London, naturally) and in terms of capacity, first watching the emo bombast of My Chemical Romance within the splendid surrounds of Brixton Academy and more recently witnessing the explosive anarchy of Marmaduke Duke at the Water Rats. Which of the bands was the best?!? Who can say for sure? Me! Obviously.»
