Gig Review: King No-One at Rescue Rooms
Fri 15 Mar 2024Having been actively releasing new music and touring relentlessly for the last decade now, it’s crazy to think that Manchester-based indie outfit King No-One have never actually released a full-length album. Now with the band briefly emerging from a studio lockdown for this run of shows and talk of new material on the horizon, we had to go along to their gig at Rescue Rooms to see how the new songs were coming along…

Artist Di Ali-Arab Reclaims Feminine Sexuality Via Cheeky Images With Powerful Messaging
Thu 07 Mar 2024With Friday 8 March marking International Women’s Day, what better way to highlight its importance than spending time with self-proclaimed feminist, artist Di Ali-Arab. The 25-year-old is spreading a message; to turn the archetypal objectification of women on its head, and replacing it with empowering graphics of the female form. LeftLion HQ joined her in RSP Studios, where her work is currently being displayed and sold.

Gig Review: 86TVs at The Bodega
Sun 03 Mar 2024WHEN word of much-cherished South London quintet The Maccabees’ decision to call time on their career hit in the summer of 2016, the outpouring of love for the band, both then, and at their sold out farewell gigs the following year, had rarely been matched. So, it is understandable that seven years on, the birth of 86TVs has warmed many a heart needing to plug a White-shaped hole in their musical nourishment...
Gig Review: Ferris & Sylvester at Rescue Rooms
Sun 03 Mar 2024There’s often something special about a pair of voices that spring from a close relationship. When it’s blood, as in the case of the Everly Brothers or First Aid Kit, it’s pretty obvious that growing up together melded and meshed their larynxes into glorious union. An unfortunately surgical image there, but you catch my drift. But when it’s a couple, it’s perhaps all the more impressive...
