Music and politics have gone hand in hand for years, with artists such as The Clash and Billy Bragg using political and controversial lyrics to attack the establishment since the 70s – but it didn’t end there. Today, young artists are becoming more and more politically aware, and are using music as a platform to inspire the future generations. Among those artists is...
Beach Baby certainly knew how to throw a party, when they hit the stage touring their new debut album No Mind No Money, at The Leadmill in October. Dressed to impress - think Hawaiian shirts with socks and sandals – the London college lads brought the blazing sunshine on a miserable, cloudy day with their laid-back, cool rock vibes. Shooting straight into Sleeperhead,...
Well-known English rock band You Me At Six shocked us all as they hit the scene again this year with their 5th studio album set to drop in January 2017, and their recent release of their debut single ‘Night People’. And if that wasn’t enough the Surrey band are in the midst of their European and UK tour, which included a stop off...
Since the influx of artists dominating the scene in the late 70’s, Sheffield has rapidly built up its reputation as one of the UK’s leading music cities, where you can still find paramount record stores tucked away across the city. Opening its doors in 1978, Record Collector, found on Fulwood Road, serves Sheffield’s record enthusiasts rare and hard to find vinyl and CD's...
I caught up with up-and-coming Sheffield band Eden Haze for a cuppa and a chat before taking me on a sunny stroll around Kelham Island. First of all, can you introduce yourself to the Exposed readership with an interesting fact about each member?Jenny: This is pretty difficult! Oh, actually, I once sang on a While She Sleeps track, which was pretty cool.Max: I don’t normally...
I started writing this review on Saturday, the day after the albums release, and it is only today (Monday) that I feel I can actually write something meaningful and in depth. Music is inevitably created as an art form that makes you feel, and this album definitely does make you feel. Since listening, I have felt incredibly attached, and I have felt emotion beyond believe....
Carrying on from my last post, in second place, but not really because this is a fucking massive favourite too... its The Clash! 2/3: Stay Free, The Clash - Give Em' Enough Rope I think this track speaks a lot for itself. Taking it even further back, all the way to 1978, I am starting to actually believe that I am definitely born...

MY TOP 3 FAVOURITE SONGS: MOTORCYCLE EMPTINESS - MANIC STREET PREACHERS (1/3)
I've been rummaging around a lot of other music bloggers websites recently trying to find inspiration and well I felt this was one of them mandatory things you should do for your blog readers; except I've started to actually think about it and it is really fucking hard to decide. I knew however that they would obviously come from my 3 favourite bands;...
It is just one week before many of us take to the cinema to sit and watch director Andrew Dominik's feature film 'One More Time With Feeling'. Documenting the production of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds up and coming album 'Skeleton Tree', it is said to be 'a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness'. Since...
Yesterday, we were all crazed to hear that Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are about to return, bringing with them not only a new album but also a new feature film to accompany it. 'Skeleton Tree', the album, is out for release on the 9th September, with the feature film 'One More Time With Feeling' being shown at cinemas nationwide for one...
If you haven't heard about this already, prepare to get jealous. I know I would be if i was you, and believe me stood in the queue that night I thought I would be getting sent home the jealous one; but I only fucking went and witnessed The Libertines absolutely blow The Boogaloo pub apart. The Boogaloo pub - High Gate So picture...
I know, you are probably all wondering why I haven't done this review sooner, and I know I should be keeping up to date but London can really get in the way sometimes and honestly I have just been taking some time out to enjoy myself. That doesn't mean that I haven't been listening to The Stone Roses new single Beautiful Thing on repeat constantly... because I...
On the day I was gazing out of my window staring at some pretty boys unload a lorry full of flight cases little did I know that I was going to send the social world into manic overdrive. Two months on and the speculations of new Roses material became true. Thursday night, 8pm, The Stone Roses introduced us to a hot new single...
GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY PERFORMING ARTS With Glastonbury riding in on us without much notice, today I wanted to give all you like minded mud lovers my take on the festival. I first attend Glastonbury in 2008, and at the young age of 15, I instantly knew this was my favourite place in the world. Other Stage - Manic Street Preaches Unable to...
This bromance is one not to be missed - as duo Alex Turner and Miles Kane take to the studio again to create a sensation for our ears. 'Everything that you've come to expect' is the lads 2nd album and to me this Cali inspired confection proves not only that Miles and Alex are both geniuses but sexy geniuses as their voices bless...
It is with such a heavy heart that I am posting another devastating legend story on my page. Within a few short months from the deaths of Lemmy, David Bowie and Viola beach we hear of the passing of Prince. A iconic figure to many, Prince died yesterday at the young age of 57. After being taken ill from his private jet he...
Being from Sheffield, I always remember this moment as being such an iconic speech that blasted the Arctic Monkeys into a whirlwind on social media. Sending the world into wild debates and opinionated social media battles nobody could get their heads around Turners witty and unusual way with words. Upon collecting their prestigious award for 'Best Album' at the 2014 Brit Awards, the Arctic Monkey's...
It's taken me weeks to write this post... maybe I was just too shocked and shaken by the whole experience I completely forgot to tell you all about - I met The Stone Roses! Me and Frontman Ian Ian (Brown) - I like to just say Ian because it sounds more like I know him personally which I do now of course- was stood...
