• Old Tower ‘The Last Eidolon’

    The concept of the eidola has its roots in Greek mythology. Spirit entities which temporarily occupy mortal beings to influence and dictate their decision making for desired outcomes before their eternal rest in the underworld. Ambiguous both morally and by nature, legends tell of Helen of Troy being kept prisoner in Egypt while her eidolon…

  • Dummy ‘Comedy Rock!’

    If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.

Enter Ariel Motto. In…

  • International Womxn’s Day 2020

    The eyes rolled so hard at the recent Bristol Sounds line-up the actual eyeballs nearly did a full 360 and revealed its’s ocular veins in true horror fatigue. With another doctored Reading Festival line-up revealing a yellow wasteland when erasing the male artists on the bill, and Slowthai’s confidently lecherous conduct on live TV clearly…

An eye on the uncharted, offbeat, and bawdy in new music since 2018!
