Swn 2009: The DiS Review

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.»

Latitude: The DiS Review
To paraphrase Billy Piper, Latitude is pretty much honey to the b for the middle class legions of the DiS writing team, and thus it was in considerable numbers that we fell upon this year's edition of the idyllic Suffolk festival. Here are our reviewers' highlights.»
Love thy neigh-bour: DiS gets talked at by Pulled Apart By Horses
Leeds' Pulled Apart By Horses played a smasher of a gig on Bristol Thekla’s tiny bar stage at the recent Dot to Dot festival, whereupon DiS took the opportunity to catch up with the reprobates and quiz them a but more about their somewhat unhinged world.»

Guest Column: Drowned in Scary Monsters #2
I decided not to write this month's column from Wetherspoons. I didn't want to give the impression that I'm some kind of dirty alcoholic who lives on £1.29 Sailor Jerry rum and value breakfasts. Instead I'm at home, currently cooking some form of chicken curry and only half-thinking about having a drink.»

This Week's Singles by The Lipster: 09/02/09
Don't panic, everyone. Turns out guitar music is not dead after all and was merely in the pub when all that 'what's happening in 2009' stuff was being decided. This week's new releases, then, from Crystal Stilts, Pulled Apart By Horses (we know we're late), The Do and Antony & The Johnsons...»
New Music Week: Label Focus #1 with Bella Union, Big Scary Monsters and Holy Roar
It was great in 2008, but 2009 looks set to be equally as fine. Rather than let us tell you about all the hot acts who might soon be pleasing your ears, though, DiS decided to get on the old electronic mail and ask our favourite labels what they've got in store for the year.»
Reading/Leeds '08: What Our Writers Thought

Math-Rock Family Tree: exploring the roots of Foals
A couple of months ago one DiS reader asked for proof that math-rock existed. Here, DiS gets itself a headache by diving into the past in order to explain the present, and the all-conquering exploits of Foals»
