• Pop Music review – life throws shapes on the dancefloor

  09-11-2018 21:00
  Cast, DoncasterAnna Jordan tunes into intertwined lives and captures the oblivion and camaraderie of the dancefloor in her new dramaIt’s no spoiler to reveal that Pop Music ends with Come On Eileen. How could a show about a thousand nights on the dancefloor do otherwise? The final song is as inevitable as the guests at a wedding reception getting on their feet to the rousing chords of Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody, and as the unmarried women showing their ringless fin

  Fans can buy Sonic Youth’s kit off a gear-flogging website. When there’s cash to be made from a the rock retrospective exhibition, it’s a risky moveReverb.com is a strange website. Primarily, it’s a place for musicians to geek through the technology side of their craft. But it has lately developed a sideline in flogging off the gear of the famous. Green Day have sold stuff on there. Moby just disposed of 100 drum machines. Right now, you can buy a vast range of Sonic Yout

• Back with the real Beatles: the White Album reviewed - archive, November 1968

  09-11-2018 13:57
  Fifty years ago, the Guardian printed two reviews of The Beatles and recommended listening to ‘what is likely to be the biggest event of the pop music year’ in stereo The Beatles have accustomed us to look for clues to the meaning of their work. Everyone can look at the cover design of Sergeant Pepper and play “spot the reference.” There’s Stan Laurel and Max Miller; Marlon Brando and Dylan Thomas; but who’s that peering over the top of Paul McCartney’s

• Slow Club: the bickering, the beauty – and getting changed in the toilets

  09-11-2018 13:22
  Piers Dennis went on the road to film Our Most Brilliant Friends, a remarkable documentary that reveals the band Slow Club on the brink of a break-up
  Even in the depths of chaos and collapse, the rockumentary can bring a sheen of glamour to life in a band. Consider the group therapy, furious resentment and search-for-a-new-bassist plot of Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster, or the our-new-record-got-us-dropped-from-our-label line of Wilco’s I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.But the reali

• George Ezra review – gauche but charming lyrics to take you away from it all

  09-11-2018 13:01
  O2 Academy, Newcastle
  The slightly long-winded storyteller performs his infectious hits to teens and their mums but he is at his best when shining a light on darker mattersBefore he gets going, George Ezra takes a moment to explain his stock in trade: tunefully dreamy songs which “take you away to wherever you want to go to”. With the world currently in turmoil, this tempting offer of a trip away from it all has not unsurprisingly landed him No 1s with both his albums. Wanted on Voya

• From Trio to Boygenius: in praise of all-women supergroups

  09-11-2018 12:00
  When famous male musicians unite, it is often a show of strength, while women tend to create space for each others’ talents. So why are there so few bands?There have been few all-women supergroups: by my count, 14 of note, spanning 60s R&B trio Honey Cone to Boygenius, the trio comprising burgeoning indie talents Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, who release their debut EP today. It is a comparatively rich era for such allegiances: Boygenius’s existence is mirrored in

• Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers: Bought to Rot review – nihilism and tenderness

  09-11-2018 11:30
  (Bloodshot)Designed like a mixtape – cheeky Britpop brushing against campfire sarcasm and gothy surf – Bought to Rot is more casual than Laura Jane Grace’s records with Against Me!, the storied Florida punk band she has fronted for 20 years. She wrote it on the road with drummer Atom Willard and bassist Mark Jacob Hudson, working in a more immediate fashion than usual. The lighter touch might offer anyone deterred by her heavier material a welcoming introduction to this ironcla

• Architects: Holy Hell review – addressing tragedy with gravity and defiance

  09-11-2018 11:00
  (Epitaph)In 2016, Brighton metalcore giants Architects were sent reeling when founder guitarist and songwriter, Tom Searle – brother of drummer Dan – died of skin cancer, aged just 28. Two years on, the surviving sibling describes the regrouped band’s eighth album (the first since the tragedy) as being “about pain: the way we process, it, cope with it and live with it”. However, rather than succumb to understandable despair, the album comes hurtling out of the traps

• Lil Peep: Come Over When You’re Sober Pt 2 review – accessible emo-rap from late zeitgeist hero

  09-11-2018 10:30
  (Columbia)When Lil Peep died of an accidental drug overdose last November, he was already a cult hero in certain corners of the internet. Beloved by many for his dingy synthesis of emo and contemporary rap, the 21-year-old New Yorker – born Gustav Åhr – was at the vanguard of a new movement intent on trampling down divisions between hip-hop and rock. This wasn’t the first time the genres had melded – Peep’s work harked back to 90s nu-metal bands such as Korn a

• Muse: Simulation Theory review – bring back the alien overlords, please

  09-11-2018 10:00
  (Warner Bros)Perhaps Matt Bellamy is the greatest thinker of our age. After all, he’s spent much of Muse’s career warning us about technological conspiracies to take over the world. Yes, we thought he’d been spending too much time on the outer edges of YouTube, but he looks a bit less peculiar in the age of Cambridge Analytica. Which, naturally, is the point at which he chose to trail Muse’s eighth album with the most conventional rock-star gripe of all, on Something Huma

Six days ago, he was in Mexico City, playing with Gorillaz. Now, he and his bandmates in the Good, the Bad & the Queen are in Kent, taking turns to explain their second album in a fake American diner adjacent to the Maidstone studio where they will be performing on
