Edwin Starr’s War is a classic, both for its anti war message and its ability to fill floors at discos, a curious double. Surely everyone knows the answer to “war, what is it good for?” But something odd has happened. A new cover has emerged which impresses us as much as the original. How is […]

The Eternals received the usual Marvel movie hype in the build up to release, before bumping into something Disney and co hadn’t met much of before when it came to its superheroes: dissatisfaction. The Eternals started to get panned by people who had braved the Covid situation and gone to an actual cinema, i.e. people […]

Venom 2 sees Tom Hardy return as troubled journalist Eddie Brock alongside computer generated symbiote Venom, but this time he’s joined by Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady… and has a symbiote called Carnage: yep, that’s what the title is about.

In a minute I’m going to tell you about something that happens in Netflix’s latest true crime hit, and you’re going to think I’ve told you the main story… but I assure you, I’m only scratching the surface. So: The Puppet Master opens with the children of Sandra Clifton explaining how, despite their parent’s separation, […]

It takes a certain confidence to open your album with a tale of a young woman whose music dreams were turned into a nightmare by a controlling parent, and who feels they’re a total failure in that father’s eyes. But Stephanie Lambring did, and it really sets the tone for Autonomy: this is a brutally […]

You might be looking at the publication date of this review and wondering why it’s in the calendar year following the album‘s original release. What, you might ask, happened to us in the intervening months? Well, when it came to doing the end of year 2021 charts, the Supajam team discovered something odd. We put […]

Skynd is a duo, and that’s about as far as the personal introductions get. Why? Skynd, believed to be one male and definitely one female, are keeping their identities secret, appearing only behind a mask and layers of make up. The web has discussed possibilities, but we at Supajam feel safe in rejecting the theory […]

When people think of the creation and supply of illegal drugs, the sort where people get addicted and ultimately killed, they often imagine cartels. Why wouldn’t you, when El Chapo and Pablo Escobar have all manner of TV and movies showing the trade in lethally addictive substances as a problem coming into the west from […]

Musical duo and best friends Sofi Tukker were some of our heroes of lockdown, as they began performing daily shows online for an ever growing body of fans called The Freak Fam. If you joined in, as we so often did, the song we’re bringing you today will not be a surprise: it’s been spun […]

The high point of Moby’s fame came when he reworked a load of old records into fantastic, zeitgeist making new ones. Today, many years later, we’re going to be talking about Moby taking a load of old records and… well making news ones. You see, ‘Reprise’ is an album where Moby has taken a bunch […]

Rejoice lovers of pastoral and folk baroque indulgence, Florence and the Machine are back with a new song, and probably a new album cycle. Over the years Florence Welch has evolved from a minor indie artist blowing people away with her huge voice in small pubs, to a butterfly pagan who speaks directly from the […]

Festival fans, you’ve had a miserable couple of years, but we’ve made it and the world is going to rebound strong: people are hungry. To this end rejoice in the new that Melvin Benn, director of Festival Republic (they do festivals, they aren’t a republic), has said they will be starting new events in 2022. […]

Whoever started the trend of internationally famous people reading he CBeebies Bedtime Stories: we salute you, it’s a thing of beauty.    This Friday you will be able to see (and fall gently asleep to) Dave Grohl reading a story based on The Beatles’ Octopus’s Garden and which was also written by Ringo Starr. He […]

The previous team ups between Dave Gahan and Soulsavers have been excellent, with the Depeche Mode frontman bringing his weighty voice to their music and production. We’re thus thrilled to learn they’ve combined once more, for a new album coming November 12th.   Called ‘Imposter’, the title refers to it being all covers of songs… […]
