REVIEW: Dutch Criminal Record- Dutch Criminal Record EP

Nestled on the south coast between Brighton and Portsmouth, poor old Chichester is always getting overlooked musically. The recent success of Tom Odell has been the city’s only real contribution since Jonathan Ansell came second on X Factor with G4 or Preston miraculously scored a top-ten single with Ordinary Boys. So step forward Chichester born and bred Dutch Criminal Record, who are about to kick off an exciting year of touring & recording new music with the release of their biggest and best EP yet.

Reading and Leeds: The lowdown on next week’s announcement

We are well into festival booking/announcement/deciding-where-to-go season now. A lot of the major players have made their main announcements, confirming headliners and a bulk of the undercard, but the big one remains a week away. No it isn’t Glastonbury, nobody knows when that’s coming, it’s Reading and Leeds. The annual ‘we’ve got our results lets go get pissed in a field’ party drops its final headliner(s?!?) next Monday, giving us plenty of time to drool over it or rip it to shreds, depending on how things go. So with a week to go here’s all the speculation, conjecture and general rubbish you need to survive the next seven days.
