The Collapse Board Interview – Sacred Paws
Formed by members of old Collapse Board favourites, Golden Grrrls, Shopping and Trash Kit, we were always going find it hard not to love Sacred Paws. The duo – guitarist Rachel Aggs and drummer Eilidh Rogers – released their debut album, Strike A Match to widespread acclaim in 2017, culminating with it winning Scottish Album […]
The people have spoken | 10 great songs from 2014-5
When I say “people”, I mean Collapse Board readers. But that’s OK, you’re one of them. When I say “Collapse Board readers”, I mean a handful of Collapse Board readers. But that’s OK, you may well be one of them. The way it works is that a week or so back, I compiled a virtual […]
The return of Everett True | 98. Trash Kit
This series been around for a while now. There have been around 700 of these suckers, give or take. My initial vow – not to repeat the same band twice – was broken years ago (initially by Kate Nash, if I recall correct). Too many names. So much wonderful music. I forget sometimes. No reason. I just […]
The return of Everett True | 96. Bent

Rear In Yr View 2011
Wild Flag’s debut album has taken women all the way to the top and proves they can write an album as uninspired, predictable, and shallow as any man.
Song of the day – 304: Float Riverer
My only complaint about The White Stripes was that the band weren’t composed of two Meg Whites.
Everett True’s List of 10 Things from 2010
The problem with Brisbane appears to be an overload of the creative process: there are too many folk being creative and not enough people satisfied with being consumers
Song of the day – 141: Neonates
Some more crazy-ass great female shit, recommendation courtesy of one of my favourite cult pop stars, this dude. Give their MySpace page even the most cursory of listens and I’m sure you’ll see why I’m digging Neoneates’ minimalist groove so much. It’s all scratchy and human, like Stef Petticoat (who, for a woman who released […]
