About Me

Unquiet Desperation is a literature magazine that focuses on the underground artistic community...
UD Presents is our monthly musical adventure, based in Sheffield...

'Manhattan Transfer (1925)'- John Dos Passos (American novelist)
To help us make the most of our first birthday...Au Revoir Simone have left the great metropolis of New York to begin promoting their new album, visiting us on July 22nd...

Quickly snapped up by NINJA TUNE, Spokes combine sweeping melodies, with densley textured instrumentation, to create a swirling, dancing sound that most bands can only dream of. A sound "as natural to the band as breathing" (Drowned In Sound) Truly breathtaking...
