Track of the Day: Mary Epworth – Black Doe

Post author By Zac
Post date November 1, 2010

We thought that this track from Mary Epworth and the Jubilee Band would be a fitting start to the week following Mary’s live show at a Cecil Sharp House for the Halloween Music Fair last night.

This amazing track titled Black Doe was released on 7″ in late 2009 on Hand Of Glory was written about looking into the eyes of a deer and brings sun rays dosed in psychedelic charm. If you are a fan of Velvet Underground, Ganglians and Black Mountain then check this out and look out for news of her debut album coming soon.

Post date October 29, 2010

You have probably gathered that we are not running a Crossfire Halloween Massacre this year, which we are truly gutted about. This is simply due to illness and simply not being fit enough to promote such a monster so massive apologies to you all but we will be back next year without a doubt.

We know that we cannot match it in any other way but thought you may appreciate clicking through to this Spotify Playlist made up of some classic Thrash and Death Metal bands that have graced our ears over the years. Thanks for all your messages over the last month and have a rocking Halloween where ever you may be going this year.

Element Dulcey Jacket review

Post author By Zac
Post date October 26, 2010

It’s winter again and thankfully packages have started arriving from the brands that want to make the most of their new winter wear. This year Element have launched their new Wolfeboro Collection to beat off the cold snap and when the box of gooness arrived this Dulcey Jacket was definitely one that most of us had our eyes on to take home.

The inside provides a patchwork, polyester inner lining which is soft to the touch and also wonderfully toasty once you are inside it. The ribbed cuffs and waitband don’t allow the cold to seep in, the hood can be pulled right in via toggles and the zip goes above your chin to your lips.

Pocket wise there’s one deep inside to the left and 2 front ones at the ribcage so you can keep your hands warm and the comfy hood is toggled for wind proofing. The most important fact is that the outside is waterproof to fight a downfall and doused with a 1000mm clear PU coating for water deflection to fight the freezing showers that we are to expect in the next couple of months.

There’s no over branding with the Dulcey, just a couple of toggle logos, stitched logo on the arm and breast making it simple but very effective and will set you back between £60 and £70 in stores that stock Element. Look out for more reviews from their Winter 2010 collection here in the coming week.
