Every now and then unlikely worlds collide and produce prodigious results, seemingly made for one another in the most unexpected way. Welcome to the wild and oft-whacky world of Ted Poley and, wait for it, Sonic The Hedgehog!

I’m just back from a quick trip across the Irish Sea, back to my homeland of Norn Iron, to see that my mammy is safe and well, and to drop in on my Aunty, her sister, to say hello and get a quick catch up
Bristol's Thekla is different from your usual music venues. It's not a little club in some downtown location, squeezed between coffee shops and a set of flats. Instead, Thekla is a former cargo ship safely docked in the Mud Dock area of Bristol's Floating Harbour, now having its second career as an independent music venue.
The original ‘Queen of Noise’ brings her particular brand of ground-breaking seismic energy and output to The Valleys tonight, a good seven years since last touring the UK.

With the final sundowning of winter we approach tomorrow’s spring equinox with hope renewed and re-energised. It's a time of balancing light and dark with the life-giving strengths of the former gaining ascendancy as the frigid bony grasp of winters begins to relent.
It’s a cold rainy night in Belfast and tonight the Liverpool quarter Carcass are in town, we got to the Abattoir sorry The Limelight to see they guys as they are playing a Glasgow show and a 3 date Irish warm up before they cross the pond to tour the states.
So, it’s a miserably cold day once again, the drizzle just starting as I, again, point my car in the direction of Wolverhampton.
If there’s ever a better, more appropriate, opening line to an opening track of a set then I’m yet to hear it. This one line of just ten words encapsulates this evening’s genre-blurring headliner in its simple beauty.
Three years of waiting for the rescheduled State Of Unrest tour that was put together originally for 2020 – man, what a long awaited treat that was always gonna be.
