Karl Bartos was a member of Kraftwerk during their most iconic, productive era. As the band's classically-trained percussionist an co-writer, he had a massive influence on the sound and direction of Kraftwerk, and ultimately - through records like Trans-Europe Express. IPhone app - which is a lot of fun. His latest album, Off The Record. So I ended up with this encounter. Karl ...

An archive of the music interviews I do for Sidewalk magazine with extra photos, videos and writing. Tuesday, 12 February 2013. Norwegian denim n' leather glam punk legends Turbonegro recently reformed, after a brief spell in limbo, with new singer - Englishman Tony Sylvester - following the departure of frontman Hank Von Helvete after his 21 years in the band. Tony fits in just perfectly, and he's a really cool guy too, so I spoke to him about hardcore, Kiss, Hank and what it's like being the new guy.

An archive of the music interviews I do for Sidewalk magazine with extra photos, videos and writing. Wednesday, 10 September 2014. Having seemingly appeared from nowhere, and despite his career being in its infancy, LA's Adrian Younge has quickly stamped his indelible mark - and style - on the music industry. The 35 year-old multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter had already written and produced a Ghostface Killah. We're stoked a guy as busy as him found time to sit down and talk to us. I know yo...

I meet J as he lifts an adidas shoebox from a bag bearing the name of a popular high street footwear/fashionwear chain. He begins lacing up the black-and-purple Spezial. Dinosaur Jr. was my first show, when I was a little kid. Chances are that tonight will be somebody's first show too. Do you think there's a significance to being the first band a person sees live? They didn't want...

We spoke to Tajai of the mighty Souls of Mischief crew. Souls of Mischief, chillin' in the cooler. By Andy Smoke. Your producer, Adrian Younge, told me that this album was basically a follow-up to 93 'til Infinity. Is that right? It's just that the timeline is set in 1994.

An archive of the music interviews I do for Sidewalk magazine with extra photos, videos and writing. Monday, 5 May 2014. The story of the hard rock band Death is a story that has taken decades to unfold and, in a twist no one saw coming, isn’t over yet. The Hackney brothers, Bobby Sr. and Dannis, thought Death was done not long after they moved from Detroit to Vermont more than 30 years ago, especially after their brother and musical mentor, David, died of lung cancer in 2000.
