Favourite things this week

1. The Magic Gang (Album by The Magic Gang)






The Magic Gang are making guitar  music exciting again, and their debut album proves this. After packing out festival tents last year, they released their debut album on 16th March 2018. This follows several EPs that showcased what the band is capable of, and the debut album exceeds expectations. "Alright" and "All This Way", which were previously released, have been amplified to be bulky indie anthems. This album will immerse you in 90s nostalgia.

2. Fenty Beauty - Gloss bomb

Rihanna released her highly anticipated make up line last September, and after trying the majority of the products Gloss Bomb is my favourite. If your lips are in need of moisture, if they've been suffering through our extremely long winter, this product is the perfect solution. The Shea Butter moisturises the lips, and the neutral colour of the Gloss will  suit every skin tone. It's time we embrace the Gloss revival, and you should do so with Gloss Bomb.

 3. AF1 @customsbyleanne

Following months of debating whether to buy some AF1, I found @customsbyleanne on Instagram, and realised I needed a pair of customs in my life. The whole process was simple, Leanne suggested patterns for the shoes after listening to what I was interested in. The result was these bright floral AF1, which will look amazing at festivals and events. Each custom made by Leanne are truly individual and unique pieces of art.

Bombay Bicycle Club at Citadel, Victoria Park

This year Citadel closed Victoria Park's festival weekend, although it was a one day festival, the celebrations had started off on the Friday with Lovebox festival. This was Citadel's first year as a festival, and from crowd reactions, I doubt it will be the last. Citadel saw Bombay Bicycle Club headline one of the few festivals they are playing this year. After a massive 2014, with Mercury nominated album "So long, see you tomorrow" and the last ever headline show at Earl's Court Exhibition Center, they have slowed down on the touring this year, but still made time to headline in their hometown.  The set opened with "Overdone" letting the crowd know what they were in for, an hour of fun, dancey, indie rock music. You could tell from the looks on the band's faces they were happy to be there, which obviously had a positive effect on the crowd. The band then went into "It's alright now" a song which the whole audience was dancing ...

Complaining about festival line ups makes you sound boring

Franz Ferdinand at Truck Festival 2017 As festival season approaches mot people are excited to get back in a field, drink some warm cider and listen to their favourite bands and find fun new artists. But, there’s always an exception, the music snobs who want to spoil festival season for everyone and this is done by complaining about the line up, saying how festivals were better in the 90s. Here's a few points on why I think we should stop complaining about festival line ups. 1.There can be more than one genre at a festival! A few years ago Kanye West said "rap is the new rock and roll" and whilst he may be making headlines today about his weird, alt right twitter antics, I do agree with this statement. This year Kendrick Lamar has been announced as headliner for Reading and Leeds festival, they even have a stage dedicated to grime, r'n'b and hip hop (BBC Radio 1 xtra stage). Reading and Leeds was traditionally a rock festival, but times have changed, ...
