Newcastle band Kobadelta have returned with their heavily energised yet stirring track ‘Bathsheba’. Enthused with savage vocals and grimy bass, it resembles the dirtier work from the likes of Foals and Drenge. With catchy refrains (“We all keep moving backwards and…
Following it’s 10th birthday celebrations last year, The Beat-Herder Festival returns to the North East in July for 3 more days of huge headliners and secret raves. Primal Scream top the bill, with ’60s folk-pop legend Donovan also playing, joined…
