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 us with a beautiful soft whisper making them sound even sexier than ever before.



8 years on from 'The Age Of The Understatement', with 5 AM albums behind him Alex is now noticeably known for being one of the biggest rock stars in the world. Up there with Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood I think I can confirm that the Arctic Monkeys are the Rolling Stone's of my generation. Miles on the other hand has being killing it solo whilst quite obviously supporting his rock and roll best friend at the 2 day AM Finsbury Park extravaganza. 8 years on and these once shaggy haired 22 year old's have descended into a rock and roll atmosphere with nail biting guitar riffs and infectiously charming lyrics.





Once walking through an eerie lit street playing guitar and portraying a mysterious image, Alex and Miles have now grown not only into men but into a definition of cool and electrifying. presenting themselves as seductive gods of rock. And I for one am not complaining. Confidently presenting us with their first track off the album, single 'Bad Habits' went down a storm, creating a hurricane of excitement for TLSP fans who took to social media to express how "fucking awesome" it is. Not only the track but the video is everything and more. Subtle use of colours such as red and blue help enhance the creepy romance story behind the song. Kane is lead, whilst Turner pleases us with his impressive hip movements looking too slick to be true.

Upon album release, unsure of what to expect, I soon realised that this was it, this is my album of the year. No doubt. Tunes such as everything that you've come to expect and Aviation are obvious favorites however recently I find myself hitting repeat when listening to Sweet Dreams, TN and Miracle Aligner.


An album for everyone's ear, indulge yourselves in a magical masterpiece... you won't want to turn it off, I promise!

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 was soon back on stage reassuring his fans that it was just the flu, only to be found dead at his home in later days. He defined the sound of the 80's after becoming famously renown for tracks such as Purple Rain and Kiss. Prince stormed the music industry to fight for creative freedom.  R&B, Funk, Rock n Roll, Prince did it all. He was electrifying, he was dazzling, a magnificent spirit.

Devastated to say the least, the band in the sky is looking pretty ace right now. Upon hearing of his death I came to terms with the ideology of dying, I mean if dying was scary before it isn't anymore. I want to be up there with these heroes, those musical legends.


Last night in the mist of everything I stumbled upon a fucking beautiful video of Prince covering Bowie's 'Heroes'. A masterpiece of pure bliss, listen below. I can only imagine the music those two are creating right now.

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 saw their charming, rock n roll front man take center stage once again to provide the nation with his beliefs behind the album, stating that 'rock n roll will never die'. The speech complimented his quirky hair style, 50's rock fashion sense and mysterious yet absolutely god damn gorgeous personality which subsequently saw most of the population take to Facebook and twitter naming Alex a 'living legend' and describing his actions to be literally the most rock n roll thing they have ever seen. However, not all watchers that tuned in to witness Alex's speech thought he stole the night. Critics turned on him accusing him of being 'pretentious', a 'tool' and an overall embarrassment but do you really think those harsh words would ever stop Turner? 

My guess is no. His talk of sludge and a 'cynical nature of the universe' may come across as arrogant but he is setting an image for himself (and it worked). Alex no longer wants to be known for his indie, long fringed, 17 year old self when he first took to the scene, it has been 10 years and with the last album edging on electronic rock n roll his image has become somewhat, well, amazing! His 50's look and Elvis/Richard Hawley like hair style is what every girl wants in a guy and what every guy wants to be. 

The Brits aren't about great music, they're are about popular music, which is why we have to put up with the likes of Bastille, Ellie Goulding, Disclousure etc. So, is receiving a Brit award the most un-rock-and-roll achievement out there? Who knows? I think Alex Turner certainly thinks so.

Turner eventually defended his controversial speech by saying:

'Wonderful as it is to be acknowledged, I don't necessarily think the talent, or how good a group of musicians is, is directly shown by their trophy cabinet. That's not meant as a downer -  it's a pleasure to be mentioned alongside great people.' 

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!


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 outside my flat and I have never ran so fast in all my life. I looked like a right nutter as I turned up with no shoes on shaking a phone in his face. At first I only saw the back of his head so I would have felt like a right idiot if it'd not been him but lucky for me it was and he was amazing! Ian and bassist Mani where both what I can only describe as real musicians who showed me that they are really there for their fans after he waited for me to nip back to my flat to grab my vinyl for him to sign. I was shaking so badly I couldn’t believe this was happening, Ian even asked me if I was okay in which I told him this was the greatest moment of my life.

I couldn't resist asking him whether he saw my tweet and to my surprise he said " Yeah, it was you that let the cat out of the bag". As you can imagine I giggled and wanted to cry at the thought of Ian recognising me. And honestly when I got back to my flat I did cry... a lot (whilst staring at my signed photo and record).






I am absolutely gobsmacked at how much this story blew up! Since announcing to the world via Twitter that they were recording my phone has turned into a hotline with people constantly emailing me wanting the inside story. I got to say though being the first person to be told by Ian himself that the band recording new material is insane. With the band being so notoriously secretive it gave me great pleasure to get the word out first, I mean come on... this will go down in the history books, right?

Eager to hear their new material I am counting down the days until I go watch them live at Etihad Stadium in June. I've got a funny feeling that this gig will be one to always remember but until then I'll give their record a spin, stare at their autographs and pray for another meet and greet in the future.
