A rupture of applause could be heard from a garden flat in Cotham last Thursday as Dwell made their second appearance on stage following a well-received debut just a week before.

Atoms For Peace are a 5-part band originally formed in 2009 to perform with Radiohead’s front-man Thom Yorke on performances of his solo album. As a fan of both Radiohead and Red Hot Chilli Peppers – whose bassist Flea makes part of the line-up – I was naturally quite excited about this project, as both [...]
