What’s missing in contemporary Hip-Hop is angst. With lame pish like Post Malone, Cardi B, and Doja Cat all over the bloody charts, it’s like rap lost its balls a decade or so ago. Thank fuck for Zillakami, a musician who has yet to be neutered. Zilla has […]
“In The Year 2525” by rock-duo Zager And Evans, is one of the best songs of all time in my opinion, up there with “Six Day War”, “One Tin Soldier”, “Dance With The Devil”, and “Nature Of The Threat”. Written by Rick Evans in 1964, this track takes […]
COVID-19 is a Virus that some racists say is Made In China. The Coronavirus Pandemic means people have to wash their hands and refrain from touching their face. Some people have decided to wear face masks but with conflicting information from scientists, a few have decided to take […]
From ex-Punk band The Beastie Boys (and Def Jam bandmates Run DMC) shouting their rhymes into the mic to Onyx and M.O.P. building on this style by yelling their violent lyrics over hardcore beats, an element of Rock has always been present in Hip-Hop music. Artists ranging from […]

Very much like the underground Hip-Hop groups I write about on this site, there’s also some Rock bands that are underexposed and underrated. Colonel Bagshot, a rock band from Liverpool are an example of this, they’re often overlooked despite writing one of the best anti-war songs of all […]
There was a great period during the 70s and 80s in which many credible Christmas Pop songs were made. Although a novelty, this musical trend created some classic Rock, Disco, and even Hip-Hop songs that have yet to be topped decades later. It’s no coincidence that the majority […]
As a multi-instrumentalist, a writer, a composer, a singer, and a dancer, Prince was the ideal specimen for other musicians to emulate. These days when you hear some over-hyped twat claiming they’re the greatest of all time (Kanye ahem… West) their overrated and under-skilled output pales in comparison. […]
Warren Zevon was the very definition of an idiosyncratic musician and he was responsible for some of the most distinct and unusual lyrics in the history of Rock music. His use of dark comedy and outlandish storytelling made him a completely original singer-songwriter, and his sometimes surreal and […]
