Perdu sur la plage: DiS does Les Eurockéennes

In Depth by Andrzej Lukowski

DiS arrives at Les Eurockéennes , a long-running French festival that takes place in a stunning location on the peninsula of Malsaucy near Belfort, just a hop over the Swiss border. It is very nice here: located on a strip of land between two massive lakes, it sort of has a Latitude-ish size and prettiness. One of the stages is called La Plage and is, if anything, more delightful than that sounds. There are also bands.»

Arguments have been won and lost, a handful of frankly incredible artists have improbably missed the cut through forgetfulness and space constraints, and we’ve all got quite, quite drunk along the way...»

Label Focus: Roadrunner Records

In Depth by Raziq Rauf

The year has drawn to a close and here at Drowned in Sound, we think it’s nice to reflect on what we’ve enjoyed and who has given us that enjoyment. Roadrunner Records celebrated a quarter of a century as the world’s leading independent underground metal and heavy rock record label and I love Roadrunner Records.»

Yeah, yeah yeah, Reading Festival. What’s the big deal, huh? Get filthy. Get tired. Get battered. Sing. Watch some bands. Great. It bloody well is, alright!?! Did you love it? Were you even there? I was.
