Congratulations/Llongyfarchiadau to @Don_Leisure, the winner of this year's @welshmusicprize 🎉https://t.co/xaoL3OB8Jr

@NoonyTD Haha agreed!

[Laura Johnson @riotgoth]

Grassroots level bands and artists that shout about supporting them need to also remember to do the same for grassroots level publications that cover them, before and after the spotlight given by the “big name” outlets fades. 1/3

[Laura Johnson @riotgoth]

@billbones80 Same! It's happened too many times to me personally, and had some DMs following this post with people saying the same. More standing up for ourselves and our work methinks.

[Laura Johnson @riotgoth]

They just want to reshare the NME, Kerrang! etc mentions that give them what they see as “clout”. Sad times. 3/3

[Laura Johnson @riotgoth]

I’m getting more and more disheartened by the hypocrisy, and spending time on bands that won’t even give a writer or publication the courtesy of even a retweet after features and/or other content that has taken hours/days/weeks of organisation, effort and research. 2/3

[Stereoboard @stereoboard]

On their debut LP @panicshack are instinctively, unapologetically themselves, creating an authentic collective voice and punk ragers that will soundtrack many a gig pre-gaming session this summer.

Feeling the Glasto-FOMO? If you weren't lucky enough to get tickets (or wish you could do it all again), don't forget all these Glastonbury '25 alumni acts have shows lined up in the UK/IE, including @cmatbaby, @loylecarner, @KNEECAPCEOL and @lorde.

This was a fun interview. They're a great band. Give 'em a listen.

My face was just like the cover when I found out Meatball was on the album! Can't wait.

[Stereoboard @stereoboard]

@emmabwilkes I know we definitely would, but of course it depends on the idea :)

Love the band. Love the album. This one was bittersweet.

‘Fate & Alcohol’ arrives six years after the final @Japandroids gig, and just like their live shows, it may not be perfect, but the best rock ‘n’ roll never is https://t.co/wPS1dhU2ln

We went to the Eras Tour on Tuesday in Cardiff, and I haven't stopped thinking (and talking) about it since.

Check out the amazing highlight reel our very own Soph recorded and edited 🖤

[Stereoboard @stereoboard]

If anyone had any doubt why @taylorswift13 is THE biggest artist in the world right now, Tuesday night’s show at the @principalitysta Cardiff is your proof.

Consider us well and truly in our Eras Era, Forever & Always, Evermore 💜

I went to The Eras Tour in Cardiff. It was outstanding, but today my back is in bits. @taylorswift13 played for just shy of three and a half hours. Unbelievable, in the best way!

[Stereoboard @stereoboard]

The Cardiff stop of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour was "one for the books", pairing spectacle with sincerity https://t.co/uDAqaBCvAs
