Hangovers fade. Chart trivia is forever. 🤘🥴 Happy New Year, you beautiful riff goblins. While the nation was rubbing its temples, hunting leftover Pringles, and questioning life choices, the UK Singles Chart was quietly crowning a No.1 every New Year’s Day. And from 1966 to 2006, it delivered a proper mixed bag of genius, madness, […]

The month of frost, leftover Quality Street tins, questionable New Year’s resolutions… and, as it turns out, an absolute pile of rock and metal legends entering the world.

Last chords, final bows, and a lot of misty-eyed lighters in the air 🔥🎸 2025 wasn’t just another year on the rock calendar, butt. It was a year of goodbyes. The kind where the amps hum a little longer, the crowd sings a little louder, and everyone pretends they’re not absolutely gutted. Across arenas, festivals […]

Picture this, butt. Palm trees swaying. Sunshine glinting off the lagoon. A Disney resort soundtrack humming away like nothing in the world could ever be sad again.

Charging them.” According to reports doing the […]

WITH KORN SCREAMING “ARE YOU READYYYYY” INTO YOUR SOUL 🤘🔥 Forget fireworks. Bin off Auld Lang Syne. And respectfully tell the BBC countdown to do one. If you want to actually welcome the new year properly, there’s only one ritual that matters, and it involves nu-metal, distortion, and a scream that could crack time itself. […]

The Lost Venues, the Surviving Rooms, and How the City’s Sound Grew Teeth 🎸🏴 Swansea has never been a quiet city.

Before smartphones. Before broadband. Before the algorithm decided you were really into air fryers and Viking tattoos… there was BBC Ceefax. And it was quietly brilliant. Ceefax wasn’t just “text on the telly”. It was an information delivery system built for a world that hadn’t yet decided everything needed to be instant. It lived invisibly […]

For nearly three decades, The Jerry Springer Show wasn’t just daytime TV. It was a weekly experiment in how far civilisation could bend before snapping. Chairs flew. Secrets spilled.
