Down The Pub with Jim Sturgess at The Lord Stanley, Camden
Jim Sturgess loves to talk. He'll talk passionately about anything you care to bring up, usually steering it back to film and music, the two things that dominate his life...
Coldplay - Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends
Rock royalty return with an arty title, a legendary, experimental producer and promises of an innovative new sound...but little else.
Various Artists - Independent's Day 08
A noble concept which ultimately fails to exceed the sum of its parts. Probably because it's got Feeder on it.
The Wire: ...and all the pieces matter. Five Years of Music from The Wire
It's the soundtrack to the Wire. It's got Omar whistling on it. Can there be any higher recommendation in musical history?
The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia
Dark collaboration born in the depths of hell - and hell on a particularly dark, scary day - finds two grunge outsiders re-energised. Darkly.
The Feeling - Join With Us
Join with us in ritually burning every single copy of this album in existence. Followed by their houses, in case they don't get the message.
Coming soon
We want to hear about any up and coming bands, regardless of genre, that feel they deserve to be written about.
Roses may never reform due to ongoing problems with Brown
Look Brownie, we know John Squire took lots of cocaine. We know cocaine is evil. But please, sort this out asap. Please?
Coldplay in selling lots of records shocker
Have none of you actually heard this record? What are you all doing?
Johnny Cash remix album confirmed.
The Man in Black finally gets worked on by Count de Money. Well it's about bloody time.
Oasis LP details and other stuff..
We've got Oasis news by the truckload today, some of it actually interesting (if not exclusive).
Noel Gallagher: "Radiohead's 'In Rainbows' was free marketing"
Noel Gallagher believes that Radiohead's method of inviting fans to pay whatever they felt recent album In Rainbows was worth was a "free marketing" ploy.

Mojura Interview - 30/06/2008
Bristol based Mojura is an evil little fucker with a penchant for all things musically violent. But he loves his mum, he does
Justice + Late Of The Pier: Somerset House - 11/07/08
Fans brave the rain for French electro duo down in The Lord of Somerset's manor...
Rise Festival: Finsbury Park, London - 13/07/2008
And lo, the Flashlight Live section is born, with a trip to North London. We came, we saw...well not that much actually.
Flashlight is a brand new, fully independent music review site. The idea for the site was forged during a drunken Sunday night in North London sometime in late 2007, during which the state of the music industry (and in particular the music press) was lamented at great, incoherent length.
It was decided that a site was needed that was accessible, inclusive and honest, without pandering to the latest fad. Essentially, if we have thirty shit albums to review, you will see thirty shit ratings.
You are currently viewing this site in a skeletal state; we have many new ideas and features that will be added in the coming weeks and months.
