Review: The Libertines @ O2 Academy

Nov 11, 2024 | epigram.org.uk | Aditi Hrisheekesh

By Aditi Hrisheekesh, Co-Deputy Music EditorBringing a lyrical juggernaut of the gritty heart of the 2000s to 2024 Bristol, the Libertines return, armed with a new album, All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade – a fluorescently stained love letter to what has been and what has yet to come. The crowd was a gloriously mixed bag – indie heads rocking vintage fashions, Doc Martens, mixed with others harking back to their youth.
The University of Bristol's Ultimate Playlist: a fresher's guide

Sep 10, 2024 | epigram.org.uk | Will Buckley |Megan Foulk |Aditi Hrisheekesh

By Will Buckley, Second Year Politics and International RelationsIf your Freshers Week goes anything like mine, you’ll move to Bristol from a small town and instantly be overwhelmed by the city’s intense music culture. Your flatmate will claim his mate’s mate has a Boiler Room set coming up (he doesn’t). You’ll meet people who claim they’ve seen secret pop-up Massive Attack shows (they haven’t). Simply put, you’ll realise that you need to become a music snob, and quickly.

Death Cab for Cutie + The Postal Service @ Utilita Arena Cardiff

Sep 9, 2024 | epigram.org.uk | Aditi Hrisheekesh

Sometimes, you may not miss the past itself, but the feeling or the idea of missing it can be addictive. Things that once seemed insurmountable suddenly become manageable when softened by memory – it can be a cathartic comfort of sorts. That is what the night, at least for me, felt like.
Review: The Breeders @ Bristol Sounds 2024

Aug 14, 2024 | epigram.org.uk | Benji Chapman |Aditi Hrisheekesh

By Benji Chapman, Music EditorFilling the harbourside with a spread of musical delights, the main stage of Bristol Sounds festival could be heard even from Wapping Wharf over its several days of occupancy. With the tortoise-shell like stage turned away elusively from peering onlookers and commuters, it was impossible to see what resided behind the dome, though the cheers that surrounded it each day suggested that only good times lay ahead.
Musically mapping Bristol: a fresher's guide

Aug 13, 2024 | epigram.org.uk | Aditi Hrisheekesh |Benji Chapman |Susie long

By Aditi Hrisheekesh, Co-Deputy Music EditorIt’s the first day of university, and you are sucked into a capsule of hedonistic technicolour that is Freshers Week. A fever dream of a week - the students are everywhere, figurines scattered across a Lego City. It all feels a bit unreal at first, and it can be difficult to find your footing within the city. It’s Bristol, a city renowned for its buzzing nightlife and broad scope of music suited to various tastes.
Book nook: Three reads for a new season

May 21, 2024 | epigram.org.uk | Ellen Jones |Hannah Stainbank |Aditi Hrisheekesh

By Ellen Jones, Second Year, Politics and International Relations We’re rarely more aware of the world around us than at the start of a new season, when that world begins to change. Though British spring tends to drag its heels, it’s the littlest things—flowers knuckling up through the earth, or a patch of blue sky—that announce its arrival in a cycle far bigger than us. With that in mind, here are three reads to take into the brighter, longer days of a new season.
A Reflection on the Lyra Poetry Festival

May 20, 2024 | epigram.org.uk | Hannah Stainbank |Aditi Hrisheekesh |Sapphire Hope

By Hannah Stainbank, First Year, EnglishThe Lyra Poetry Festival entered its fifth year in 2024, with events including workshops, walking tours, readings, lectures, and slams. I was able to volunteer at Simon Armitage’s reading and Q&A, and the Grand Slam final. Admittedly, I went into that event knowing very little about Simon Armitage, other than that he is the current poet laureate. I found that he was likeable, down to earth, and very funny, reading poems that felt tangible and alive.
Review: Crawlers @ Rough Trade

Feb 19, 2024 | epigram.org.uk | Aditi Hrisheekesh

By Aditi Hrisheekesh, First Year EnglishAs I entered Rough Trade, I found myself immediately immersed within a sea of vibrant hair-dye and striking eyeliner, setting the stage for the kaleidoscope of emotions that would define the night. Lead vocalist Holly Minto took to the stage with her charismatic wit, the entire band effortlessly exuding a confident punk swagger.
