Over the last few months I have been waiting anxiously for any news concerning Lowlands Music Festival, which takes place in Amsterdam during late August every year. Lowlands is a festival with a lineup not dissimilar to Reading or Leeds, but also features more variety in terms of World Music; this year C.S.S, M.I.A and [...]

I was browsing NME.com when I was lucky enough to find a link to the excellent new video by The Strokes for You Only Live Once. Please take my recommendation and follow the link below to watch this great video for a great song. I have loved The Strokes since their genre defining debut, Is [...]

The Go! Team are no ordinary band… having a lead rapper named Ninja, two drummers and cheerleader chants in many of their songs, this band was a bit of a surprise last year, popping up in last years top 100 albums frequently and being nominated for the Mercury Award for their first album- Thunder, Lightning, [...]

Finally! The Stills have returned! My wait is over!
These were the thoughts running through my mind when I clicked on two of the latest songs by The Stills, Oh Shoplifter and Helicopter, releases which I have been anticipating for 4 years. When their debut album, Logic Will Break Your Heart, was released in 2003, I [...]

You would have thought that after the unanimous slamming The Bravery’s first album received, they would have slinked off with their tails between their legs… but no, it turns out they went away for a couple of years to begin constructing the album that their first should have been. I was one of the people [...]

“Feels like my teeth are falling out,
From all the gibberish that’s been pouring out my mouth,
What was i thinking? What was i doing with that milf?
My chin is exhausted, man it was time for filth.”
And so begins the epic single track that is Wide Awake by The Twang, a special band, not [...]

Interpol, the leading band in their mood-rock niche, are on track to release their new album, Our Love To Admire, in early July. Now I know for a fact there is a lot of anticipation over this album, given the wait we have had (almost 3 years since their last album, Antics), and I for [...]

My favourite song today is the new single by The Editors, ‘Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors’ from their latest album, An End Has A Start which will be released on the 25th June. For those of you who don’t know them, The Editors are a band with a similar sound to Interpol, and their music [...]

‘How are you doing London?’ were Matt Bellamy’s first words as he strolled onto the stage of the Sheperd’s Bush Empire in West London last year, followed shortly by Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme, drummer and bassist in the outrageously good band that is Muse. At this point in the gig, I was still slightly [...]

The Cribs are a 3-piece indie-rock band hailing from Wakefield in West Yorkshire, made up by twins Ryan and Gary Jarman and their younger brother Ross. Their third album proper, “Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever“, was released on the 14th, and I would really recommend it to anybody who considers themselves a music fan out [...]

was staying in on Saturday night, and spent about 10 minutes watching the annual Eurovision Song Contest, knowing what a laugh it would be. Now its a real shame that I have to refer to it as ‘a laugh’ considering how it used to be held in high esteem. Nowadays, most people seem to [...]

Derek Andrew Safo, also known as Sway (DeSafo), is a multi-talented 25 year old who is destined for big things. A Muslim hip hop rapper who was born in London from Ghanian descent, even at the age of 25 Sway has still had huge amounts of success in the music industry; Initially a producer, Sway [...]

My track of the day today is the first single off of Sound Of Silver, the latest album from James Murphy’s LCD Soundsystem. Its a really driven track, and I’m considering buying the album. Enjoy, and if you like what you hear, Sound Of Silver is on sale here…
LCD Soundsystem- North American Scum

I was just sent this new track by Lupe Fiasco, from his new album ‘The Cool’ which comes out later this year. This is the best of the 3 tracks I have heard, so enjoy. If you like this track, Food And Liqour, his Grammy nominated first album is still on sale here..

Lupe Fiasco- Cold [...]

Albert Hammond Jr.- Back [...]

I just downloaded this leaked single from Chris Brown’s album, Exclusive, which comes out in September this year. Anyway, I have a feeling that this song will probably be on radio rotation as much as Run It! was…. Click the link to download the track, and if you haven’t got it yet, Brown’s self titled [...]

I was just sent this little gem of a song- in their latest performances, The Arcade Fire have been covering lots of old tracks, including this: Guns Of Brixton by The Clash. Enjoy (click the link after the space). If you like what you hear, the latest album by The Arcade Fire, Neon Bible, is [...]

On May 5th, the day after its release, I went to see Spiderman 3 at my local cinema. Surprisingly, I only arrived 10 minutes early, and there were plenty of seats free, which was a tad weird, what with Spiderman being one of the biggest movies this summer. Anyway, the film began with the traditional [...]

It probably hasn’t occurred to many people so far, but the age-old ritual that is going to the cinema is slowly going out of fashion… A few of us have questioned why we go to the cinema with other people when it is essentially a solitary experience (what with not wanting to talk etc…..). [...]

Just after the accepted realisation that Spider Man 3 was a shoddy film of two halves, the makers of a new comic book movie have released this really cool publicity shot. The film is, of course, Iron Man, as if you couldn’t have guessed by looking at the picture: although its been kept off the [...]

The live action Transformers film comes out on the 27th July this year, and early screening reviews have stated that it is surprisingly good. It obviously has all the elements of a Michael Bay film: guns, explosions and car chases, but the cast are all said to put in good performances, especially Shia LaBeouf. I [...]

I think I may be one of the first people to post this great new track from the 5th Ash album, Twilight Of The Innocents, which comes out on the 29th June, 2007. The band haven’t released anything since their 2004 Album, Meltdown, after which their guitarist of 9 years, Charlotte Hatherley, left the band. [...]

I was recently informed of the very well kept secret that is play.com. Play is an online retailer in the same vein as Amazon.com, which has done extremely well for itself over the last couple of years. But now, excuse the cliché , there’s a new kid on the block. Amazon, whilst being convenient, has [...]

Mark Ronson, the talented music producer and part-owner of Allido records , has just released his latest album, ‘Version’, which sees Ronson calling favours from many of the artists he has helped succeed, such as Robbie Wiliams, Paul Smith of Maximo Park and Lily Allen. The best song on the album, though, is Amy Winehouse’s [...]

I only just heard the first single from Bjork’s new album, Earth Intruders, which sees her back to her best. I have to say that she went off the rails a bit, from the weird Olympics ceremony to her wishy-washy albums. I really enjoyed Debut, and though it was a unique album. Anyway, this new [...]

I just thought I should post the new White Stripes single from their new album, Icky Thump. I think this is a great song, and a hark back to their older stuff from Elephant.
The White Stripes- Icky Thump
