Above is a mainstream aspiring English indie pop band with a touch of alternative, that auto-describes itself as “[tag]Coldplay[/tag] on steroids, American rock with a sense of irony and you’re halfway there”. Well if that was a little bit confusing that have a go on their latest single ‘At Arms Length’, available at iTunes, a thrilling and passionate song. The song openes with a slow and melancholic piano line, backed up by smooth guitar chops,…
Brighton’s own Natasha Khan and her crew from Bat for Lashes have once again released a kick ass video, of hypnotic proportions: ‘What’s A Girl To Do’. The video looks like a classic horror flick intro, creepy piano lines and pulsing beats, with of course the usual BFL anomalies, like a band of mascot headed bicyclists riding behind Natasha K. and doing syncs. Director Douglas Wilson has really done a great job on capturing the…
[tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] is a ageless man of remarkable energy and passion, a man that has brought joy and filled the hearts of so many, cross his almost 40 years of musical career, in which he sold tens of millions of records and received countless awards. Now his latest album Magic, his first playing with E Street since 2002, is fast aproaching, it will be in a store near you on October 2 to be more…
We haven’t heard anything new from [tag]Girls Aloud[/tag] for some time, but now they’re back and in full throttle with a smashing new single “Sexy! No,No,No…”, the first one off their upcoming still untitled fifth studio album. The girls have called the song ‘edgy’ and as the video goes, it’s edgy alright, actually very sharp. The video is quite intertwined, with a lot of layers and “micro-worlds”, if you see the video you’ll know where…
Artist name: Caribou Album name: Andorra Label: Merge Records Gender: Electronica Release date: August 21, 2007 ZMErating: 9.5/10 Website: http://www.caribou.fm/ Imagine living in a world of your own, a world where man is no longer its master and overseer, but a simple observer, a world in which innocence, youth and all that is pure blossoms. I might seem like I’m getting all [tag]John Lennon[/tag] on you, but I’m getting somewhere. This world of fiction has…
When i get to talk about [tag]Queens of the Stone Age[/tag], It’s just so easy to write and to lay my words on ‘paper’, I mean there’s no secret I love this band to the death (not really, it’s just a figure of speech), their music has influenced my musical taste in a unimaginable degree, I could even go to such lengths and say I’ve discovered Rock’n’Roll alongside them. Few bands can light up a…
As you all probably know, the little spoiled princess of pop, [tag]Britney Spears[/tag] is busting her ass in the music studio, hard at work to produce the next teen sensation. Although she clearly isn’t a family icon or a bastion of virginity, her past sins will probably be erased, if she can release a smashing single. That’s a little hard i might add, as if the rest of the album sounds as terrible as the…
A week ago we had a sneak peek on [tag]Eagles[/tag]’ first single in 14 years, How Long, now it’s time for the video. Let’s say that old age might have caught up a bit with the mighty birds of pray, as frankly they don’t look very ecstatic in the video, and off it for that matter, for ‘huge’ comeback from 15 years of new release hiatus, i would expect a little more spirit. Anyway, you…
Widow City, the sixth studio effort from behalf of brother-sister act [tag]The Fiery Furnaces[/tag], is slowly, but steadily approaching. I’ve got to tell you, the anticipation is driving me nuts, every time I find a leaked song I’m all ecstatic and stuff, it’s got to be the most awaited album of the year for me. What I love most about this new album is that it’s so much different from what I’ve listened so far,…
When he’s not snorting lines of cocaine, [tag]Pete Doherty[/tag], makes, or at least tries, to make music, good one even. His band, [tag]Babyshambles[/tag], is set to release their second album called “Shotter’s Nation”, on October 23 in the US, via ASTRALWERKS Records. It will be interesting to see if Pete’s band can at least match the success of their debut album; alas many people don’t credit them with much chances and regard this upcoming effort…
