Bido Lito!

February 2012 issue - out now

In Issue 19, we unfurl our banner for the new year with a front cover and lead feature on DEATH AT SEA, the one band currently making music seem exciting for us, on the basis of just two songs...; THE SUNDOWNERS allow us in to their world for a warm slice of suburbia; NINETAILS chat to us and deconstruct ambient musical soundscapes; we take an in-depth look at the plight our music community currently finds itself in with the investigative pieces 2012: A YEAR TO FORGET?, with views and opinions from a wide variety of influential people across the city; the nature of lo-fi garage music is discussed with ENDECI, Maghull residents with an unusually delicate knack for creepy shoegaze; and we catch up with the variously-talented BEHIND THE WALL OF SLEEP clan as they explain the reasons for starting their own promotions collective, with a keen eye for intricately-designed posters  . This month's reviews section contains highlights from THE HORRORS, HOT SNAKES, BIRD, THE a.P.A.t.T. ORCHESTRA  and an intriguing Friday 13th line up from everisland, featuring CAPAC, SUN DRUMS, LOVED ONES, THE HIVE COLLECTIVE and much more.
