It’s a brave move. Adam Powell rises to the challenge and continues to grow his reputation as ‘the urban guy’ with this slick but gritty performance [...]

In other words, up close and personal with Jamie, on tour in Australia – this time intercut with lyric-illustrating stock footage.

It’s going down in Hampton Wick, as Jamie T and Adam Powell look for trouble in SW London’s leafy ‘burbs. This is Adam’s second video for Jamie, following his riotous, lo-fi vid for Fire Fire a few months back. Sticks, albeit a bit more polished, has the same joie de vivre and fire in the [...]
