Naked Strangers are less than a year old but after a listen to their first single, “Honey Roast”, they will feel like a familiar favorite.

Film Review: Shazam! (US, 2019) is pure cinematic bliss from start to finish

It’s been a rocky road for the DC Extended Universe. From the dizzying delights of Wonder Woman to the hyper-colour mess of Suicide Squad.

I loved my first Razer Kraken headset. With its chunky earpads and lurid green colour scheme, it was the perfect thing to draw heads on buses — as if I’d only walked in to say ‘look at me, look at me!’ With its newest iteration, Razer improves on perfection, but you’ll have to look hard…
