Since the divisive return of low-rise jeans at the beginning of the decade, nostalgia for the pixelated pop haven of the noughties has been on the rise. Music subcultures have been flooded with tributes to the era of Tamagotchis and velour tracksuits, from the return of indie sleaze to Addison Rae’s continual nods to Britney. On their new track “BLUSH”, Teether and Kuya Neil join the Y2K revival with a sweet and sincere love song indebted to the early ‘00s.

Tue 21 January 2025 13:00, UK I’ve attended more gigs in Leeds than I can possibly remember. I’ve seen countless post-punk bands, softer indie outfits, pop acts, and everything in between. But I’ve never seen anyone quite like Neve Cariad.

Mon 20 January 2025 14:30, UK Not long after I moved to Leeds in the autumn of 2018, I found a second home in a social club sat among the red-bricked suburbs of the city. The formerly crimson carpets and glittering smoking area of the Brudenell suddenly served as the backdrop to every major and minor life event, each one of them served with a pint of Schoff, four Jägerbombs, or, in the case of a Mercury Prize win, a £12 bottle of wine.

Fri 13 December 2024 12:00, UK It has never been difficult for me to see the importance of the grassroots scene. From the moment I fell into the music industry, I’ve existed within it, working alongside DIY spaces and community interest companies, helping unsigned bands to put out their first vinyl release and conducting interviews in the corners of social clubs and dingy venues.

Thu 12 December 2024 6:00, UK Over the last decade or so, Katie Crutchfield has honed one of the most distinctive sounds in contemporary indie folk under the name Waxahatchee. Her unique vocals drive each track with their raw, knowing, country-inspired tones, while cosy guitar twangs and subtle percussion cushion her words. She’s become a reference point for up-and-coming women in the folk scene, who seek to emulate her honest sound through their own soft strums.

Wed 11 December 2024 21:30, UK Cinema may be Martin Scorsese’s first and greatest love, but music just might be a close second. The New York-born director has honed an illustrious career in movie-making over the last 50 years, helming some of the most widely acclaimed and adored films of all time. He has also allowed his interest in music to bleed into his work, inputting perfect needle drops and even linking up with iconic artists on documentaries and concert films.

Wed 11 December 2024 13:52, UK The 1990s were a sort of golden age for guitar bands. It was the decade that gave us grunge, a new, gloomier, edgier form of rock music that captured the hearts of kids all over the world. It was the decade that gave us Britpop, full of anthemic choruses akin to football chants and bright melodies indebted to the sound of the 1960s. And it was the decade that gave us shoegaze, guitars pushed through pedals and lathered in feedback until they became indistinguishable.
