Squarepusher – Feed me Weird Things (1996) – Album Review
Viagra Boys – Viagr Aboys (2025) – Album Review
Despite their efforts to not be taken seriously, it’s obvious Viagra Boys are a deeply thoughtful and creative band. And they're intent on skewering everything and everyone in our bewildering topsy-turvy world, including most of all it seems, themselves. Continue Reading
