The Perks of Being a Wallflower

By Lynsey Davidson...The Perks of Being a Wallflower doesn’t tackle anything new… drugs, music, sexuality. They have all been dealt with in other stories. Why should that become precedent for impressionable teenagers, who are more than likely regarded as the target audience, to follow? We follow Charlie (Logan Lerman) on his journey through high school, watching him behave in a way that makes him...

Panic! At The Disco Review

By Erin Hale... Panic! At The Disco have brought their Vices and Virtues tour to Southampton Guildhall, and surrounded by what seemed like thousands of brightly dressed and screeching (shudder) 14 year olds, I stood proudly at the front ready to enjoy what was going to be an interesting show.

While the Cherub Writes

By Clare Dussek... I write in bed. Resting my head I sink down into the wide open sheets, Clunking springs settle into their place, Like a tired wife settles into her husband’s rusty palms.

Get Loaded in the Park 2011

By Jennifer Le Roux... A rename could have worked for this event to ‘Get Soaked in the Park’, but even though there was rain, mud, poncho’s and an assortment of umbrellas, most of all there was music! There is something heart warming about a crowd that will stand outside in the rain and suffer for the band they love. There were 3 stages at Get Loaded in the Park and only two of those...
