  • FROM THE JAM Announce 20th Anniversary Australia/NZ Tour

    Iconic British group FROM THE JAM celebrate their 20th year in 2026 – two decades of music that cleverly added to the broader British songbook, while also developing a creative legacy that remains timeless and respected today. 

    This July, the milestone tour makes its way to Australia and New Zealand, with FROM THE JAM bringing their influential catalogue to fans and newcomers alike. Led by vocalist Russell Hastings, the band’s current lineup retains the spirit and reverence for the music that made FROM THE JAM so beloved when they first debuted under the name THE GIFT.

    Formed by THE JAM drummer Rick Buckler, together with Hastings and musicians David Moore and fellow member of THE JAM, bassist Bruce Foxton, the group quickly developed a devoted following of fans around the world. While Hastings remains the only frontman to have performed and recorded with both Buckler and Foxton, FROM THE JAM continues to uphold and celebrate the music of THE JAM, while also creating new memories with their music as it finds new generations of fans.

    In 2025, Foxton retired from the band due to ill health, but his impact is carried forth into 2026 with this special anniversary tour. Audiences can expect to hear enduring classics such as ‘Going Underground’, ‘Start!’, ‘Town Called Malice’, and ‘That’s Entertainment’, delivered with the same precision and energy that made The Jam one of the UK’s most influential bands.

  • Special Guests Announced For WU-TANG CLAN Farewell Tour

    Photo credit: Brooklyn Prewett

    Special guests have been announced for Wu-Tang Clan’s upcoming farewell tour across the UK/EU. Havoc of Mobb Deep has been announced as a special guest across all UK/EU dates, with DJ Target confirmed to support all UK dates.

    The world’s most iconic hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan have already announced a second show at London’s O2 on 18 March 2026, following unprecedented demand for their farewell tour – Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber.

    The Wu Tang Forever: The Final Chamber tour will celebrate the depth and breadth of the iconic group’s deep catalogue. On the tour fans can expect to hear songs that have never been performed live, deep cuts, and, of course, major hits from their debut album “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” as well as the group’s Grammy-nominated and highest selling second album “Wu-Tang Forever”, which debuted at #1 on the UK album and Billboard 200 chart and has been certified 4x platinum. To date, the group has released a total of seven gold and platinum studio albums with worldwide sales exceeding a staggering 40 million albums.

    Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA said of the international tour dates… “As we continue adding on to the cypher, The Chamber moves from local to global.“

    Following their ground-breaking, first-ever hip-hop residency in Las Vegas last year, Wu-Tang Clan continued their momentum with an incredible 27-date North American leg of the Wu Tang Forever: The Final Chamber tour. The tour has received widespread praise from critics, with Rolling Stone calling it “a spectacular showcase worthy of their legacy”, and the L.A. Times hailing it as “a historic celebration…with the full force of hip-hop excellence”.

    Now, the legendary group is set to deliver electrifying performances once again, offering fans one more unforgettable chance to be part of their lasting legacy. The 16-date global tour kicks off in Europe on March 2nd at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome and continues through Germany, Poland, Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland, Belgium before wrapping up the European leg in the UK with shows at London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s Co-op Live, with very special guests to be announced. The tour then heads to UAE for a show at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena on March 22nd, before travelling to Australia for shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, and finally Sydney, where it concludes on March 28th at Qudos Bank Arena. Full tour dates and on-sale information can be found below.

  • Apartments is Mr.Wizard’s Ep Out Now

    Good Day Noir Family,
    Mr.Wizard introduce their EP Apartments with “All the Shapes,” and the attitude arrives right away. The vocal delivery carries that early-2000s punk rock spirit, irreverent and straight to the point.

    Apartments is Mr.Wizard’s Ep Out Now

     It doesn’t ask for approval. It states its presence with confidence. Gritty distortions and a driving rhythm join in, creating an atmosphere charged with restless energy.

    Beneath that raw surface lies careful control. The band clearly understands dynamics. They build tension, then release it, shaping each section with intention. “All the Shapes” feels more structured than its loose swagger might initially suggest. The development flows naturally, pushing forward without losing focus.

    “The Snake” shifts gears. An acidic guitar tone opens the track, sharper and slightly more angular. The rhythm leans into syncopation, giving the song a subtle off-balance pulse. The vocal interpretation becomes even more intriguing. There’s a playful use of dissonance here, which adds edge while keeping the overall effect strangely inviting. That contrast between tension and melody keeps the listener alert.

    Then “Fool’s Gold” enters with a strong guitar riff and a more atmospheric approach. The mood softens slightly, almost drifting toward a nostalgic rock ballad. Yet the band never slips into sentimentality. They maintain their identity, allowing the melody to breathe while preserving their distinctive tone.

    “Doctor, Doctor” stands out as a highlight. The track feels wild, unpredictable, and bold. Its progression unfolds in surprising ways, with pauses that catch you off guard before the energy surges again. The melody carries a visionary quality, refusing to follow conventional patterns. The voice returns with urgency, reclaiming momentum just when you expect restraint.

    Throughout Apartments, Mr.Wizard prove they don’t chase trends. They follow instinct. Their sound feels unique, shaped by sharp guitars, expressive vocals, and thoughtful construction. Each track reveals a band confident in its direction.

    This EP doesn’t aim to fit neatly into a category. Instead, it carves out its own lane and moves forward without hesitation.

    Unpredictable!


    Apartments is Mr.Wizard’s Ep Out Now

    Mr. Wizard is an alt-rock project based in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, nestled between Pittsburgh, PA and Morgantown, WV. Moving fluidly between a solo endeavor and a full-band lineup, the project now returns with its fifth release—this time as a solo effort.

    Over the past few years, Mr. Wizard has performed at standout venues and events including the Millvale Music Festival, building a reputation for raw, nostalgic rock energy. The band’s debut earned praise from Obscure Sound, which described the music as “a sound steeped in exciting rock nostalgia, embracing the punk and grunge integrations of the ’90s.”

  • Do You Feel Alright is The Burton D’Agostini Procedure’s Single Out Now

    Good Day Noir Family,
    An atmospheric arpeggio introduces you to “Do You Feel Alright,” the latest single by The Burton D’Agostini Procedure.

    Do You Feel Alright is The Burton D’Agostini Procedure’s Single Out Now

    The guitar shimmers with reverb, wrapping the listener in a dense, immersive aura. Then the snare strikes sharply, almost like a sudden slap, cutting through the haze with precision.

    That contrast immediately establishes tension between softness and impact.

    The voice emerges as if transmitted from another dimension. It sounds dark, almost ominous, yet strangely elevated at the same time. The track takes on a ritualistic character. The vocal delivery doesn’t dominate the instrumentation; it glides within it, adding depth and mystery.

    As the song progresses, it is never static. It evolves gradually, shedding layers and revealing new textures. The transformation feels organic, almost reptilian. Like a piton changing its skin, the composition shifts form while maintaining its core identity. This slow development creates a sense of anticipation. You can feel something coiling beneath the surface.

    The structure unfolds like a living organism in motion. Each section expands carefully, then contracts, only to expand again with subtle variations. The effect is hypnotic. The track reminds me of a serpent wrapped around a tree, watching quietly and hissing softly. The real twist lies in perception: you are not observing the creature. Instead, it is observing you. The hypnosis flows in reverse.

    The ancestral undertones in the arrangement add another layer of intrigue. There’s a primal pulse beneath the reverb-drenched guitars and steady percussion. The shifting dynamics create a kaleidoscopic sensation, as if colors and shapes morph continuously in your mind.

    The Burton D’Agostini Procedure clearly aims for atmosphere over convention. They allow the track to breathe and transform at its own pace.  “Do You Feel Alright” becomes less a traditional rock single and more an immersive journey.
