Philadelphia acoustic punks Corporate Hearts answer our end of year questions! How was 2014 for you? Zack: Awesome and hectic.

Fishlock Fridays #3 – A year in gigs
The year is at the end, so naturally always a time to reflect on the previous 12 months, and 2014’s not been too bad, outside mundane “real life” at least. I’ve somehow managed to put on 14 gigs mostly by myself, and I thought maybe this deserves a proper reflection, rather than what Facebook wants […]

A rough guide to your first show – Waster style
Accordion player, Joe, looks back at Will Tun & the Wasters‘ first show on the five-year anniversary! We were so hyped to play our first proper gig, even though it wasn’t really a “proper gig” at all, it was us playing to all our mates drunk in the shed in my garden. We’d just left […]
