The wait is over. The 2013 Splendour in the Grass lineup has finally been announced. I have to say that I’m not sure some of these names have sunk in yet, but first impressions are that it is pretty massive. The SITG crew released the lineup via a videolink this morning. Our favourite acts that […]

There’s an abundance of acts across the musicsphere in this modern age. Kodaline are one of them, and for me they taking a leaf out of the book “on how to make it”. Their formula is quite simple. Deliver tracks to the masses that are articulate, well constructed, and are the stuck in your head […]
