Let’s face it, 2020 has been just a little bit shit with everyone having their lives severely disrupted, especially within the music industry. One of the bands that must be really feeling robbed by the whole situation is Jinjer for whom 2019 was a massive year where their hype train was gaining some serious momentum on the back of their latest album ‘Macro’. This resulted in many people (including our Jonny B) making a note to check them out on their next ÜK tour but then everything went tits up and we’ll all have to wait a bit longer to be able to catch Jinjer on stage.

Looking back on the history of rock ’n’ roll, there aren’t many bands more infamous, legendary and influential than The Stooges, even if they didn’t get the recognition, or record sales, they deserved at the time. This new box set from Cherry Red documents the final year of the band’s existence, in its second incarnation, through five live recordings, all of which have been released at various points in time before, but gathered together here for the first time in one very neat little box.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been seven whole days since we last awarded our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ title, and, despite the ongoing, and some cases renewed, lockdowns in many parts of the Überverse, we are still receiving a healthy bundle of submissions for our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ title.
