Wrapping up another week of posts while it’s so sunny and nice outside is a laborious task, but it’s well worth it when you look over everything we’ve covered in five short days. We spoke to TV On The Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe, La Roux and the Eulogies and premiered tracks from the Radical Sons and Damian Lazarus all in the same week, but it was five days ruled by controversies involving Crystal Castles and the Ting Tings, and the passing of a legend. Here is the full Tripwire week in review.
