BLEEP BLOOPS

FIVE FUN DAYS IN A FIELD. PT3

August 31, 2018 dukeofearl 1

I’m going to admit at this point that I’ve lost the second itinerary that I wrote out for this exercise. I lost the one that I made for the festival so wrote out another by […]

BLEEP BLOOPS

FIVE FUN DAYS IN A FIELD. PART 2

August 30, 2018 dukeofearl 0

Saturday… and my head was pounding! I had spent far more energy tokens than I had intended on Friday night deep into Saturday morning, I even introduced gin into the equation (some peer pressure may […]

As part of our ongoing endeavour to bring joy to music lovers here is the first Shonk crossword puzzle. True to our form it should be pretty out there. The top three fastest people to […]

FACE MELTERS

FIVE FUN DAYS IN A FIELD. PART 1

August 29, 2018 dukeofearl 0

Many months ago I got the hankering for a festival. I didn’t fancy the fast paced turbo charged carnage of Boomtown, a festival so amazing that you never see any of the acts you have […]

FROM CANADA WITH LOVE

August 12, 2018 dukeofearl 0

The Burning Hell… without doubt are one of the greatest bands to exist in all of time and I can say that with confidence because I have lost count of how many times I have […]

    The corridors and offices of Shonk Towers are empty and dark. The causation, a global pandemic that has led to the extermination of most of our staff, with nothing more than an intern popping in [...]
  • CARDIACS

    July 22, 2020 0
    For months, maybe years I kept thinking about writing this piece, to just talk about my love for Cardiacs. Tim might have said ‘there’s no rush’ but those words can carry a lot of foreshadowing. [...]
  • DARQUE TIMES UPON US

    July 8, 2020 0
    Alas, a component of my life I have missed this year is the ability to walk into a gig ‘ear-blind’ – It’s an amazing way to install new music into one’s mind. Clearly the solution [...]

    Since I saw him opening for Black Midi at Rough Trade in a Bristol a couple years ago I have been awestruck by Jerskin Fendrix. I remember watching the show bewildered and excited by what [...]
  • ANALOGUE ASSESSMENT

    June 30, 2020 0
    From sunny and exciting Brighton, the town I talk about visiting but never do comes a three-piece who has peaked my aural appeal with their latest single Digital Depression. The band is MI-HI and within a [...]

    On the 12th of this month history was made when up and coming quartet Sub Cultures released their second single Alone. Despite these tense and trying times, unchartered by many and quite possibly the most unsettling [...]
