The Agitator shakes things up, singing songs for the uncertain times we live in - oppression of rights, banks going bust and shallow governments. It's a call for change, from the people, for the people.
A DJ and A&R man who doesn’t shout about how important he is? Unheard of, but that’s how low key Andy Mac is, despite having the best job in town.
From day one we've had a soft spot for Pope Joan. An enjoyably scratchy post punk band who complement their angular riffs with quirky synths.
After a quick survey of everyone in the whole bloody world we can confirm that a Sunday roast is the best meal of the week. On this note, we feast our way through some of Brighton's finest pub roasts to make that hungover Sunday trek around town for comfort food that little bit easier.
Brighton Source interviews Argument About Yellow. Glitchy doesn't have to mean difficult as this lovely folktronica outfit show.
Into its 40th year as a Brighton landmark, the city would be flabby without Infinity Foods.
Compared to summer, autumn sucks. But the very fine silver lining on the massive storm clouds is that it's time to go shopping for scarves. We're not expecting to find one with a hood - a hood! a bloody hood!
Life looks pretty good from the stage of Brixton Academy, as the Lyrebirds discovered last month. Just one of the dates on a hugely successful tour with The Maccabees.
Have you seen any of the multiple fashion industry programmes (you really must watch the ungrateful little madam interns for Marie Claire on Running In Heels)?
Daft Life is a "sons of Daft Punk" electro house fest that stays on the quirkier end of 4/4.

After the riotous previous appearance that had them erroneously banned from playing in Brighton for a short while, this airing of new material was a much calmer evening.
We came at Jamie's Italian fairly neutrally, not liking chains yet being fairly fond of the man himself, but we were blown away.
Natasha Khan has been on a voyage and come back with an album. Unlike the journey that produced her Mercury Prize-nominated debut Fur And Gold, this one happened outside her own head, away from the comfort of her bed. Two Suns sees Bat For Lashes move away from the imaginary world of wizards and dreams of horses, headdresses and being the chosen one, but it's every bit as magical.
Zoingimage is the new photography shop brightening up Sydney Street with its bright blue fascia. And it's just as cheerful inside, thanks to the owner Serge's helpful, friendly advice and his cute mini canvases.
Models are all anorexic giraffes, so you'd think that being tall and slim would make shopping a breeze. Well, no, actually. Most of the high street only seems to want to cater for a small band of 'average' women.
The meal was totally authentic, especially for a pub Thai, and we finished feeling full without being bloated. A great treat for after work or a long lunch.
Heavy Load are the perfect punk band. A brilliant old school, foot on monitor Ramones-esque outfit, that three of the group have learning disabilities is beside the point.
Blog darlings Geometri are starting to make a real splash on the international scene from remixes of the likes of The Whip and Grum and their own tough electro tracks.
If you had a cafe would you fill it to the brim with things that made you happy (music, art and strange goings on maybe) or would you go for a stylish approach?
Each month Gloria Cycles play a barnstorming set, spend weeks coming up with themes and hand pick the best guests they can find.
Dynamite Sal has worked at the pop coalface for over 15 years, Her mix of dance and hip hop, indie and pure pop is what the genre is all about - popular, accessible music.
My partner Edric and I had just launched our debut single with a party that had us rifling through our collections for the records we thought best represented our musical outlook. Old, new, obscure, anthemic, miserable, euphoric;- as long as it had informed our tastes - it was in.
The bad things about gastro-pubs is that they tend to end up being much more about the gastro than the pub. That's not so with The Eagle.
Restlesslist's freaked out instrumentals sound like every good 60s band you've ever heard playing at once in a Jools Holland's Later-opening style jam.
Genius needs company, and in JFB and Beardyman we've got a partnership that could revolutionise a corner of music.
Peggy Sue are the adorable face of Brighton anti-folk. Actually, make that anti-soul.
Jason Clark is the man behind Loop. He talks to us about what makes a good festival.
Casper C is the poster boy for a new breed of DJ and has been hugely influential in blending the lines between what is 'club music' and 'band music'.
We haven't been down to Supercharged in an official capacity for a few years. The reason for that is that we're all about championing the underdogs and newcomers. Everyone was talking about the best breaks night in the country (voted into the best 50 clubs to play at worldwide in DJmag a couple of years ago) so they didn't need us.
I Predict A Pop Quiz is a hell of a quiz. Ditching the standard fare like "Who is the youngest person to enter the UK chart at No.1?" IPPQ instead goes a little bit further.
Santiago offers great ingredients, mixed with skill and cooked to perfection. The food is so good that the view is a merely a bonus.
"I think I went into some sort of trance and this spirit of this woman stalker came into me and we wrote Me & Armeni,"
