Download: To Kill A King & Friends - Choices [Album Preview]

Words: Saam Das

During 2012, To Kill A King's Ralph Pelleymounter invited several of his musical pals to play mini-sessions on the balcony of his high-rise flat. Twenty sessions later and the collection was released on Bandcamp, in aid of Great Ormond Street children's hospital. Listen to my favourite of the offerings, 'Choices', featuring the likes of Emily Wood, BASTILLE and We Were Evergreen.

Surfacing: Professor Penguin

Words: Kieran Toms

Professor Penguin come from South London, and are one of the many excellent bands that happen to begin with P who I recently saw at Leefest (the others being Pengilly’s and Public Service Broadcasting in case you were wondering). I’ve no particular opinion on the letter P, it just turned out they were all good bands.

Festival Review: Leefest 2011

Leefest (12-13 August '11, Highams Hill Farm) // Words: Kieran Toms

I think if you watched the news a lot last week then you might have decided that humanity was doing badly, with all the riots and financial crises. You could have been forgiven for thinking that we were, or are, all doomed or something. Which is maybe a roundabout way of saying that it was lovely to escape to Leefest, which was just a short bus ride from Bromley High Street in South East London, but felt miles from anything negative.
