Aaron (or Coop) is a freelance writer, multi-instrumentalist and overall lover of all things music. As an advocate for indie record labels and artists, he is passionate about local scenes and do-it-yourself artistry. If it's good, it's good. If it's bad, he's not afraid to explain why.
Aaron interviews Failure's drummer Kellii Scott about the bands reunion, their new album The Heart is A Monster, and what it's like playing in Failure again.
On the outside Taylor Swift looks like the white knight who championed a battle of pay for play politics against Apple and its iTunes streaming service.
Thee Oh Sees are a great band that have more than proved themselves as competent artists in today's indie scene but to someone who may have listened to at least half of their records, they are beginning to sound a bit tired.
Timeshares put out a classic record in Already Dead that I would not only recommend to lovelorn strangers, but to anyone who loves authentic rock n roll.
I applaud Blur for having the guts to do an anti-reunion album. The Magic Whip sounds like Blur in 2015 just as it should. No apologies, and no nostalgia.
