The JOE Music Quiz: Week 18

Will Lavin

Alas! The JOE Music Quiz is back

Which also means your trusted quiz master is back.

What have I been up to, you say?

Well, aside from taking a much needed vacation and recovering from festival season, I’ve been plotting and scheming on what incredible music content I can bring you next. And trust me when I say this, there’s some pretty special things coming down the pipeline.

But before any of that, we need to get back to you brushing up on your musical knowledge and sharpening your skills so you can confidently walk through the door of your local watering hole on quiz night knowing you’re about to own the music round while the barmaid you’ve been scared to talk to is watching.

Aside from the usual categories, this week we’ve got a Calvin Harris round for you lot who think you know a thing or two about the highest paid DJ in the world.

There’s also a round dedicated to indie music, you know, that genre that best represented the UK sound a few years back before grime put its boot firmly up the ass of Britain’s audio output and gave Drake yet another reason to stay relevant.

Anyway, this week’s categories in full:

ROUND ONE: ALBUM COVERS

ROUND TWO: FINISH THE LYRIC

ROUND THREE: INDIE

ROUND FOUR: CALVIN HARRIS

ROUND FIVE: WEEK IN REVIEW

Good luck…
