A song for brokenhearted Valentines... #postpunk #antivalentines #music #newmusic #nottinghammusic dazzlerebel.bandcamp.com/track/breaki...

Can't put down the new #AmylAndTheSniffers album #CartoonDarkness

Fuck 'em

Just sayin'

Hey USA! It's the first time I’ve opened the app in MONTHS but my TikTok is still up. Please, don't go follow me because you'll be very disappointed with the content or lack there of.* #TikTok #TikTokBan *(it's incredibly unlikely there will be much if any further content added).

Well, that was fuckin' bleak. #civilwar

Goodnight Nan, you were the best and helped me be the man I am today. Love you xxx

I wrote this song after being grilled about my plantbased diet. It's a tongue-in-cheek way of addressing the many misconceptions of being vegan! It's out in all the normal places today! #vegan #veganmusic #plantbased #plantbasedlife

The UK government shouldn't be hoodwinked, bullied or greased up to allow this to happen. Write to your MP and if it does end up passing, make sure you opt-out of allowing AI firms the option to use your creative property.

Absolutely disgrace. Years of trying to lock kids up for Napster, discontinuing movies because of music rights, YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR promo bullsh*t and they're ready to give it ALL away to big tech billionaires

Imagine how much £1 on every ticket would have contributed to a sustainable music industry of the future

Louder for the people at the back

There's a lot of artists who were the soundtrack to my late adolescents and early adulthood here!

HotWax explore self-destructive tendencies on new single, "I Wanna Be A Doll”

OK, this is a shout out! If there are any electronic music producers who wanna take any of my music and produce an extended queer club remix, drop in for a collab. I do like a club remix and we might just create a sausage anthem of the future 🌭💦

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Delighted to have written about Paul McCartney’s career-long experimental tendencies for the Christmas issue of Record Collector! Thanks to @djhistory.bsky.social and Cian Ciarán from Super Furry Animals for their insights too. #PaulMcCartney #TheBeatles #Recordcollector 🎶 🐸 🤯 🎄

Spotify unwrapped: I made fuck all from it this year. Same as it ever was. There's a debate to be had about how pursuing a career in the arts is for those from a wealthy background. Not right now though. I've got more jumped-up, angry, working-man's music to write. #SpotifyWrapped

Drank Like a Fucker has been added to this awesome playlist by @blackmarketplay.bsky.social THANKS! #ukindie #britishrock open.spotify.com/playlist/47M...

A song that's both #CrankWave and old school #GarageRock about going out and getting wasted, full of humor and social commentary? Already completed it mate. www.dazzlerebel.net

Who's out for a drink this weekend? I might have the perfect track to get ready to... ...and also feel hungover to the next day! This will make you feel parched and in need of a brew. It'll make you drink too much and wanna spew! #gonzopunk #crankwave dazzlerebel.bandcamp.com/track/drank-...

With the now well documented crisis in grassroots music, it will be interesting to see whether artists and fans flood social media with Spotify Wrapped again this year Here’s a piece I wrote about #wrapped www.drownedinsound.org/existential-...

Back in 2010, touring Finland towards the end of my Glam rock years.

Hey Bluesky, STOP! 🔨 ⏰️

Two moody fuckers. #dazzlerebel

One week today I drop the perfect post-session song (and the radio-friendly version too)! distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... #postpunk #indiepunk #indierock #nottinghammusic #drinkingsongs #dazzlerebel #ukpostpunk #UKmusic

Follow the instructions. BUT NOT ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS! 😉😘🥵

It snowed 🌨

Since I was a teen I really enjoyed listening to music that was a bit leftfield. A little "not normal". Dare I say "Gonzo"? If you like a bit of tongue-in-cheek humour in your music, give this playlist a spin 😉🤘 #postpunk #punk #gonzorock #fringerock #gonzopunk open.spotify.com/playlist/0Pk...

I'm 42 and used to think that was well old. Thing is, I genuinely still don't feel like a bona-fide adult. I spoke to my 88 year old Nan about it and she says that she's never felt like an adult either. Are there really any adults in the world?

Back in the day. Probably a Friday. Possibly a Saturday. Definitely 25 and able to rock all evening, fuck all night and wake up to fill other kinds of holes for the day job at 5am after 1 hour of sleep. Youth is wasted on the young? #bass #bassguitar #bassist #dazzlerebel

Dug out an old EP from when Red Star Rebels played HMP Bedford. This is poor taste and I love it. "Breakout"! #nsfw #sleaze #sleazepunk #punk #punkrock #glamrock #glamsleaze #hardrock #dazzlerebel #royalporn
