Whats New?

Gorillaz Video Screening : Gathered in a small studio in London’s Soho, you have to wonder what could possibly be so impressive about the new Gorillaz video that Britain’s journalists have been shepherded together for a screening. New single “On Melancholy Hill”...
Introducing : Glass Animals : www.4ortherecord.com hit fever pitch this weekend when not 1 but 2 new tracks from the incredible Glass Animals graced our inbox with their presence...
David's Lyre : Masked troubadour, David's Lyre is, like his semi-hidden aesthetic, somewhat of a mystery at present. Although if fairness exists in the world at all...
Frankie & The Heartstrings : Interview : Sometimes, (not often mind), you go to see a band with a vague sense of expectation, born from nothing more than early releases and odd pieces of press, only for, by some twist of fate, this band you considered “fairly decent” until now to prove one of the...

BENJAMIN COLEY

First things first – this is harder to write than any of the reviews I’ve done for the website, no contest.

So I started writing for 4ortherecord through Nottingham Trent University, where I did my very best to waste three years of my academic life. Had a great time there though, strangely wouldn’t do anything differently. Can’t say I learned much, but you win some you lose some right?

Writing has always been the thing I do best - a worrying marker for the other things I partake in – and doing it for this website is a lot of fun.

Otherwise, erm, well I’m 23, enjoy music, sport, writing and seeing other parts of the world, and would one day like to either win the US Masters (it’s a golf tournament, I am 100% not cool) or headline Glastonbury with my band. Should probably get cracking on reaching those goals.
