The four-day week is finally at an end, but before I let you go, it’s time for the review of Marmaduke Duke’s forthcoming album, an interview with Ella Montclare and a look at the life and times of Slash. As well as -of course – the days news.
I am good to you guys…

Album Review: Marmaduke Duke – Duke Pandemonium
For anyone who reads FemaleFirst regularly, you’ll know I have a bit of thing for Scottish bands (mainly Biffy Clyro) at the moment, so when Marmaduke Duke’s latest album landed on my desk, I couldn’t wait to crack it open.
