Bibelots have got a new single on offer called Pieces that seems tailor made for the summer festival circuit. The track opens with an electro loop before the guitars slice in with a certain degree of heaviness and Britrock abandon.
I always enjoy it when bibelots show their heavier side and Pieces manages to maintain a driving and […]
The epic monument for post hardcore from Texas
American post hardcore guys Memphis May Fire claim that the new third album is about to set Memphis on fire again and they believe this latest album is more powerful than 2009’s Sleepwalking and 2010’s Between the Lies.
While in the previous albums clean vocals and guitars smell sometimes […]
Having already put their own unique twist on famous songs from the likes of: Kanye West, Devlin, Tinie Tempah, Cheryl Cole and Adele — gaining a large underground following in the process, thanks to their presence on YouTube, The Stow are now preparing to explode to the forefront of the UK music scene with their self-penned […]
When I walked into the cinema for the screening of Bridesmaids and saw the auditorium chock full of women, my heart sank a little. I have never really been one for chick flicks, least of all chick flicks that take as their subject marriage and all the ritual female bonding and hysteria that goes with it, but within […]
On the 6th May, I headed to the Star & Garter in the lovely town that is Burton-on-Trent, to see up-coming band Follow You Home’s first ever headline gig. The guys have been making waves in the Midlands music scene and after hearing their tracks on Facebook, I was really looking forward to seeing them live. Arch […]
Choosing once more to utilise the services of producer/collaborator Brian Eno, Talking Heads continued to explore their own musical and artistic boundaries with their fourth album, Remain In Light. Their previous outing, on 1979’s Fear of Music, showed a marked progression from the nerdy jerkiness of their first two efforts, with its darker themes, esoteric […]
Manchester… It’s a place you can always seem to rely on to source that infallible, no-nonsense sound. Clearly, that belief is still well-maintained. Golden Glow is a project; the man behind it is one Pierre Hall, previously front-man of The Lead Balloons, a little band that saw a lot of renown in the confines of Manchester city. He terms […]
Releasing their first album in 3 years, The Kills return with their eclectic blues-rock with a twist. With several well-received albums behind them the Anglo-American two-piece have built on the foundations of their success, refusing to merely reproduce past glories but delve deeper into their creative yearnings.
Lead single Satellite showcases such intentions, sounding both innovative and fragile […]
Taken from his 2010 self-titled album, Pete Yorn releases the second single from his Frank Black produced sixth album. Packing more bite than lead single Precious Stone, Sans Fear shows Yorn in a rockier guise with traces of the Pixies front man’s influence distilled throughout.
Starting up with somewhat brooding guitar and drums, the song is built […]
Insurrection is a beautiful blend of dub reggae poetry and steady electronic beats that are used to remember and discuss the Brixton riots of 1981, that not only affected Brixton’s black community but Britain as a nation. It is the first single off of Hiatus’ forthcoming LP Ghost Notes and features respected dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. […]
