Song of the Day – What you used to listen to

Suede – We Are the Pigs An absolute belter of a choon that is one of Suede’s musical highlights! I’m not a massive fan of Suede but the ones I do like I like a very great deal. I believe this one is from 1994 which was a very exciting time for music, with the [...]

This band, from Canada, are also, aside from being electronica, called experimental rock, post-rock and industrial. Which is quite a mix. But I’m [...]
