Lets cut straight to what everybody who’s shunned
the illegal torrent file and is still waiting loyally for the authentic version has
been thinking: Has Third been worth the 11 year wait?
Well, yes, just about. Third is a great record that, like most of Portishead’s back catalogue, takes a dozen
listens to before you even begin to enjoy and understand how its beauty,
complexity, subtleness and dense layers combine to create a truly mystifying whole.
Brighton punk duo and self proclaimed 'arrogant little kids' Blood Red Shoes set off on a huge tour this month. Kicking things off at The Sugarmill in Stoke, the shouty twosome take in 19 towns in under a month before heading off to Europe for most of May.
The tour coincides with the release of new single Say Something, Say Anything on 7th April and debut album Box of Secrets on 14th, both on V2.
