Tuesday the 28th of March. Sneaky Pete’s is packed when I arrive. For an opening band who had done their first gig a mere three nights before, the newly born Edinburgh-based band Edge of the Bed sure knows how to attract a crowd. The gig starts in ten minutes, and I have to rush to the […]
Florence Welch possesses an ethereal quality that renders her live performances unforgettable. Some might even say indescribable.

Foolish Loving Spaces follows their synth rock self-titled debut album and Cool Like You, an electro-driven record, and sets them in a new direction towards pop while retaining subtle elements of other genres […]
