Current swine flu victims and Australian detainees Kasabian are back with the second single off their third album ‘West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum’. The track, titled ‘Where Did All The Love Go’ seems rather fitting right now as the band are locked up in their hotel rooms for the next few days. Kasabian seem to have found a sound and a style which really suits them on their latest album. Although ‘Where Did All The…
tada tátà is a special musical project from Sweden, more exactly from Umeå/Falun. They represent a set of electro pop and folk, with songs mostly played on guitars and Ukulele. Listen to it and you’ll notice that it’s like music for toys. I know, it sounds a bit childish and blurry – it’s probably just their toy piano and glockenspiel toying with my mind. They sound, in fact, just great and their lyrics and use…
I have recently interviewed a new indie pop/experimental band from Amsterdam called “We’ll Make it Right”. You can read the full interview HERE ! If you like what you’ve read and if you have enjoyed the song that was available for listening and download, then you’ll probably want to give the entire album a second listen. Tim, one of the members of the band, decided to give you all a special surprise – you can…
The other day, I was introduced – via the excellent Kieron Gillen – to a short-lived internet boycott of the Fox Corporation’s various outlets in response to Fox News’ distortion of reality amid the American health service hoopla. All this amounted to for me was a much-needed deletion of my Myspace account, which was useless and rubbish in equal measures. Which actually applies to Myspace as a whole: whatever appeal it held as a social…
After all of Nick Cave’s success performing with The Bad Seeds, creating spellbinding soundtracks with Warren Ellis and composing screenplays, the Australian cult icon has now turned to the written word, and is being tipped to deliver yet another artistic triumph. Cave’s new novel, ‘The Death of Bunny Munro’, is a menacingly graphic account of a depraved and sex-crazed door-to-door salesman, who also happens to reside in the author’s current home of Brighton, England. Fans…
Even as I include the following qualification to this piece, it’ll still probably be misinterpreted. Nickelback is a terrible band, OK. I get it. They’re the band everyone points to when discussing all that’s wrong with modern music, specifically rock. Yes, Chad sounds like the bastard child of a rather violent hate-fuck orgy including Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland and Scott Stapp. Yes, none of the band members are particularly talented musicians, save former drummer Ryan…
This indie pop/experimental band comes from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. They’re the newest band you probably know and have already released an album, that is available at the following websites for purchase: www.bol.com, www.platomania.nl, www.velvetmusic.nl and www.plato.nl. Because we wanted to get to know them a little better, we had a talk with one of the members of the band, Dean. Read the interview with Dean Tippet and find out exactly what the Dutch have to…
Yesterday was a sad, sad day for music. Electric guitar virtuoso and inventor Les Paul died, at the epic age of 94. It was him who you can call the father of the solid body electric guitar, as well as multitrack recording. His blazing riffs were absolutely the bomb and he performed with some of the biggest stars ever, also produced a lot of hits, but it was the inventions that made him the revered…
“Astronauts of Antiquity” is an electro/neo-soul indie band from New York. The band has two main members: India and B. Rhyan, but they also work with 4 other musicians, to get the most out of the instruments they want to play and to have the complex and worthy live performances their songs would suggest they have. They have released an album in 2005 – AOA 1 – and have released their second work in February…
Band officials just recenly unveiled the cover art for Wolfmother’s upcoming “Cosmic Egg.” “That’s a darn big ass egg alright”, says the stoked young boy in the bushes, staring enigmatically. In the land down under, however, nothing is surprising anymore. Enough with the comic eggs though, I want heavy and mind blowing cosmic jams! I’ve been pretty anxious about the new album ever since I heard Wolfmother’s new single “Back Round” when we featured it…
