I don’t know why, but I’ve not really had the desire to interview artists particularly in recent times – with the exception of my new series /The Last Song I’ll Ever Sing, which I’ll be resuming again soon. But hearing about the new album from grabyourface got me ready to ask questions again.
Two months in, and there’s already a lot of new music to enjoy and look forward to in 2025. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. […]
What with work being busy, and my trip for the final 242 shows last week, most writing plans for January got tossed out of the window or deferred.
The first regular release roundup of 2025, as the normal release schedules begin to crank into gear, and after a bit of a false start and a busy January, I too am beginning to get things together on here too. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a […]
The final release roundup of 2024, before I complete the wrap of the year. The next one of these will be on the first Friday in January, looking what music is coming your way in 2025. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events […]
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2023 – and the twentieth year that I’ve done this – which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2023.
We’re nearing the end of the year, which means I’m now considering the best of 2023, and releases for the new year are now continuing to filter through too. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and […]
Being away for the second half of September meant that I had a lot of catching up to do last week, hence this month’s /Tracks of the Month post being a little later than usual. In addition, too, I’m now preparing for the usual end of year posts which will come in December. [cardoza_facebook_like_box] /Tuesday […]
Another Bandcamp Friday, another slew of emails, and here’s the releases you should be paying attention to. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to […]
Back to writing about the best gigs of the year for the first time in three years. Some statistics for my gig-going in 2022. I went to 36 shows (each festival is counted by number of days – so Infest is three days, so counts for three shows), and saw 106 live sets. I saw […]
As we edge into September, we’re looking this week at the last tracks from what has been a long, hot summer.
One of the obvious casualties of COVID since early 2020 was live music, both in the form of gigs, and festivals. For many, both 2020 and 2021 were almost entirely devoid of the kind of communal joy that these events can bring, and parts of my life certainly felt that bit emptier without them – […]
In ten days time, and a couple of years later than originally expected, I will be attending my twentieth Infest. I first went along thanks to the invite from a friend to most of Infest 2000, when I discovered a particular love for In Strict Confidence, and I was so hooked that from then on […]
Now away from the working week for a bit, it has given me time to start catching up. It is, again, Bandcamp Friday today, so along with last week’s releases, there’s an awful lot to cover today. In the meantime, here’s the usual wrap of new music and suchlike this week.
We’ve got one last blast of summer here this week, before we begin the tumble down into the cooler climes of Autumn. Clubs seem to be back in full force – of course with restrictions – while some gigs are happening, others still being postponed. None of which is stopping the continuing flood of new […]
Into the last month of this bizarre, weird year – and this weekly release and events roundup keeps on going. There is still new music to enjoy, hence why I continue these Friday posts. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
