By Megan Foulk, Co-Deputy Music EditorAkin to rifling through the attic with your mother only to discover the one box of photos you weren’t looking for; Lily Walker’s debut will have you sat cross-legged on the kitchen floor reconciling the many shades of childhood and its everlasting imprints.

By Sean Lawrenson, Deputy Sports EditorAs I'm sat on a zoom call with Richard Archer, my first question is the classic go-to in any conversation when you’re nervous: ‘how are you?’ Immediately, Archer makes me feel at ease, describing how he had been out the night previous and was feeling a little worse for wear, he remained upbeat nonetheless. Our conversation begins with the highly anticipated EP Don’t Go Making Plans, and I ask Archer about the title track.

By Joe Coburn, SecondYear PhilosophyFollowing the release of three EPs, including his breakout project Local MVP, which to date has amassed over two hundred and fifty million streams on Spotify, this year Leicester-born rapper Sainté released his debut LP Still Local. The title serves as both a knowing, avuncular wink to longtime fans and a reminder that, despite growing into one of the emergent stars of contemporary UK rap, Sainté keeps an eye cast back home.

By Megan Foulk, Co-Deputy Music EditorHighly anticipated, following the success of their new album Midas, which front man Jacob Slater discussed with Epigram in August, the Cornwall born solo-project-turned-four-piece exhausted Bristol O2’s capacity in a sweaty, sold-out spectacle that lacked only a little in spontaneity. Whilst not new to the scene, the release of Midas feels somewhat a re-birth for Wunderhorse.

By Will Buckley, Second Year Politics and International RelationsFollowing his US Metal Box Rebuilt in Dub Tour and ahead of a run of UK shows, post-punk progenitor Jah Wobble sat down with Epigram to talk about, well, basically everything. For years the term ‘punk-poet’, a phrase becoming increasingly ubiquitous in Bristol, has caused eyes to roll out of skulls, conjuring images of privately educated Pete Shelley wannabes.

By Benji Chapman, Co-Deputy Music EditorTrigger Warning: This article contains mentions of suicidePeter Hook began his musical career as Joy Division's bassist: a twenty-year-old punk rocker who didn’t know his amps from his speakers, or bass from electric guitar. With the tragic passing of lead singer Ian Curtis, he went on to found New Order and fronted the spearhead for a more danceable period of British music.

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.
