Even if you've never picked up a guitar you're still familiar with Marshall
Amplifiers. From the gold plate running behind your array of knobs to the white
cursive writing emblazoning the speaker – Marshall's are iconic.
Of course, not everyone knows that Marshall don't just make amazing guitar
amps – they also put together some amazing earphones and headphones. So, with
a fresh shipment in our warehouse, we figured we'd show off a couple of them for
you to check out!

Video Games Day celebrates popular video games that have taken the world by
storm. From Atari to Nintendo to Xbox, video games have changed the way kids and
adults play and now represent one of the largest and fastest growing
entertainment industries today.
We think it's a really great excuse for enthusiasts to take a day to play
favourite games with mates, but it's also a time to reflect on how much an
impact video games have had on our lives, and even an opportunity for non-gamers
to give something new a try!
To celebrate we thought we'd pick out our favourite video game themed items
available in the jungle that we don't want you to miss out on…

Well folks, we're over three quarters of the way through the
year already and my word, has it been a superb year for music. A tonne
of fantastic albums have released already with even more to come before the
year end.
With my position here, I'm exposed to all sorts of music and have been
experimenting with all manner of genres outside the realms of what I would
typically listen to. Doing this, I've discovered some excellent albums that
would normally not have been on my radar at all. I thought I'd let you guys
know what my favourite albums so far this year have been.
Without further ado, here are my top 5 albums (in no particular
order) of 2014 so far!
1.Royal
Blood: Self Titled I have to admit, I went into this album with
no expectations and was absolutely blown away. I still struggle coming to terms

most five man rock bands. The album is chock full of rock anthems with so much
intensity, it's impossible to not get your groove on.

Bulletproof Picasso – Three-time Grammy winning San Francisco
band Train's upcoming new album, Bulletproof
Picasso was produced by previous Train collaborator Butch Walker, and
reflects frontman-singer/songwriter Pat Monahan's penchant for distinctive
musical stylings. “I've always wanted to emotionally connect with people
through the songs,” says Monahan. “But I also want to get into
people's lives with this album. We're very excited about Bulletproof Picasso
and we're looking forward to performing some of the new songs for all
our fans.”

Pill’ is the first single by Sivan, the 19-year-old Perth artist
who’s set to confound expectations with the release of his debut EP, TRXYE.

sonic tapestry drawn from a love of Lana Del Rey and Lorde,
Frank Ocean to Haim.
