Hvman Teeth - No Control
A cathartic expulsion of bile over brutal and stop-start pulverising guitars. Like putting your head through a meat grinder, but less deadly and way more pleasurable.
Cyclonix – Mental By Rights
Red Rackem’s Smugglers Inn series of 12”s continues at pace with squiggly house-head Cyclonix representing Notts on the first side of Voyage 3.
Mizzred - Don’t Rhyme (Caught In The Midlands)
Confusingly, there’s loads of rhyming in this shoulder-popping hip hopping announcement on to the Notts scene.
Giant Head - Haunting Ex (feat. Katy Cotterell)
Say that you were to be haunted by an ex, there would be no better soundtrack than this creepy weirdo workout that feels like it’s been ripped from an old eighties B-movie VHS.
Mez - Nottingham (Rmx V2.0)
If this is version two, you’ve got to wonder how many other versions there are of this hyperactive grime paen to the emcee’s hometown. Or perhaps you don’t...
Ady Suleiman - Work/IN2 (Rihanna/WSTRN Mashup) | Mahogany Session
Skillfully mashing up the r & b duo’s Top 10 hit and the Bajan badass’ mega-smash with shamefully silky results.
Diablofurs - Sweet Janine
The only Janine that I can think of is that Janine from Eastenders who was a right piece of work, anything but ‘sweet’. I think she pushed Pat Butcher down a hill, if memory serves me right...
The Tangents - Fall Apart
Count how many times the singer switches from not wearing a hoody to wearing a hoody throughout the duration of the video. Our advice: sack the editor, lads.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
