With the usual rush of 15-16 year olds galloping frantically towards the barrier I knew immediately I was at an indie gig and a big one at that. The anticipation for the main act was electric as people eagerly jostled for position. The first band that came out were Swim Deep, a four piece that […]

Many of you festival goers may remember Two Door Cinema Club and their anthemic party tones from Reading 2010. Having thought they’d suffered the same fate as actual cinema it was a nice surprise to hear that they’re back with their latest album Beacon. Turns out they’d been busy touring America all this time, who […]

Hello readers! The Edge magazine will soon be unveiling a new cartoon column as part of the on-going rebrand. Having looked around Southampton for signs of art and places to display student art for a while, I was a bit stumped to see that not much student art gets a viewing. Sad times people! That’s why […]

Having been away for four years while she performed a sell out world tour, sorted out her marriage to Motocross racer Carey Hart, and joined Beyonce and Lily Allen in the baby department, she’s also […]

‘Definitely the Joker’ If anyone who saw The Dark Knight is asked what they liked best about the film, this is almost always the response. The bar for playing a Batman villain was well and truly raised by Heath Ledger, immortalised not only on screen but off screen as his ‘Joker’ became his legacy to […]

Despite some apathy surrounding the Olympics, the opening ceremony looks set to be a suitably British event.

Over the last couple of years, Katy Perry has suffered the same treatment as her nails: All her edges have been taken off and she’s been glossed over in a thick, fake layer of glitter. When she first started, Katy Perry was full of raw talent and fresh ideas. She was seductive and bold, her […]

After Shade, it was time for Wessex Lane to host the festivities, albeit without the sun.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if all the fairy tale characters we have ever heard of were dumped into our world? No? Me neither, but this is the premise for a new show created by the writers of award winning series Lost, so expect LOTS of mysteries and cliffhangers. Each episode follows a different […]

Prometheus is one of this year’s big pre-summer blockbusters and upon entering the cinema I was ready to be wowed. The film has some solid foundations – it has been labelled as an ‘almost’ prequel to Hollywood classic horror Alien (1979), retaining original director Ridley Scott and a $120-130 million budget. Following in the footsteps of the ancient […]
