Review: Iggy Pop's performance at the 2023 Montreux Jazz Festival is a thrilling showcase of both his legendary past and revitalised present. Marking his third appearance at the prestigious event, Iggy delivers a fiery set with a seven-piece band, reinvigorating Stooges classics like 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' and 'T.V. Eye', while captivating the crowd with solo anthems such as 'Lust for Life' and 'The Passenger'. The show also features new material from his recent album Every Loser, including 'Modern Day Ripoff' and 'Frenzy', proving his ongoing relevance in the rock scene. Recorded with pristine multi-track audio and complemented by stunning 4K visuals, the concert blends the raw energy of vintage Iggy with the vitality of his current creative resurgence. This live recording captures a moment of remarkable musical power, reaffirming Iggy Pop as one of the most dynamic and enduring figures in rock music.

Review: Iggy Pop is now well known by a whole new generation for his gravelly drawls and superb selections on his own BBC Radio 6 music show. The Detroit rocker might have come to prominence initially decades ago but this new album shows he hasn't lost his touch. Every Loser includes his recent single 'Frenzy' featuring contributions from the likes of Watt, Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith, and others and comes just three years after his last LP, Free. Says the man himself of this one, "The players are guys I've known since they were kids, and the music will beat the shit out of you." He's not wrong.
