[Video] Spill Tab – Suckerrr
Brightening a dull Friday, a new video from Spill Tab, filmed in Sydney by Dan Lesser. “Suckerrr is about being completely crazy about someone who seems not to care (</3) but knows you’re obsessed and loves playing that game… And for some reason, you keep going back to it… :////”

[Film Review] LFF 2025: Broken English
Filmmaking duo Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth have a track record of breaking the music doc mould. Their 2014 Nick Cave film 20,000 Days on Earth remains the high watermark for music films.

[Live Review] M(h)aol, The Louisiana, Bristol, 23rd August 2022
Immediately after their set at the Green Man Festival two days previously, singer Róisín Nic Ghearailt was approached by an audience member, who told her she is precisely the role model she would want for her daughter.
