“We've really leant into the more macabre side of the human experience on this EP - we've really been allowed to be the purest form of the darkest workings of our minds.” Spooky isn’t just a short-term season for Leeds band VENUS GRRRLS, it’s their entire ethos for embracing the dark with the lightness of life and channelling morbidity and romance into modern-day gothic music. Vocalist GK (Grace Kelly) and guitarist Eliza Lee peel back the awakening of their gothic influenced

REVIEW: Arankai - The Shape of Blue

There’s a difference between wearing your heart on your sleeve and ripping the entire thing out, holding it up to the light and asking everyone else what the fuck they’re doing with theirs.
