Singers, songwriters, singer songwriters…everywhere you look more seem to appearing. Peter Darling is something of a unique proposition. Not just in that he is a slightly quirky bloke to have a chat with, but that his music is engaging, exciting, classic and complex, whilst being simple and instantaneously captivating. He has just released his second album, Limehouse which marks the first of what should be a prolific rate of work that will see him releasing…

MF DOOM Press Shot Masked underground hip-hop sensation MF DOOM has recently been added to the lineup for Leeds Festival in August, and here’s a few reasons why you should be as excited as I am. But first, a brief profile. MF DOOM (Daniel Dumile) has been on the hip hop/rap scene ever since his early work with KMD in ’88. Before the release of their second album, the group were dropped…
Cut Your Hair – Mad Love Now this is possibly the strangest but catchiest song I’ve heard for a while. Opening with the lyrics “Raveee…” does make me think “what is this”? But I’m soon over that when I hear the wonderfully soothing guitar strings combine with the melodic piano riffs and vocals that may remind you of something from the 90’s . At first I assumed this was a generic indie pop band from…
Not sure who to see? Here a few artists to check out on the Saturday of Live at Leeds Festival! Man Like Me Do you remember that quirky IKEA advert that went on about parties in kitchens? Well, you may recognise these guys and their vocals from precisely that.

Here are some new songs that will hopefully ease your way through…

With soothing folk-like guitar melodies and calming vocals the self-recorded “Tales From Terra Firma” is a great second album from the guys. The album opens with the uplifting “You Take Me As I…
Forget about “Harlem Shake”. The Danish trio New Politics is turning heads with their new single “Harlem”. Spring break is here, for some collegiate Americans at least. If you are a like me, your spring break does not start until next week. Hopefully you will be on a beach somewhere or hitting the slopes with your friends. Wherever you are, there is no reason that you should be victim of…
Origin: Manchester, England The 1975 were one of the best new bands of 2012, and are now certainly ones to watch for 2013! The boys create a blend of British indie and alternative rock, and do it very well. Being from Manchester, like many other bands, you’d already expect them to be quite similar to other acts, however this band are able to be distinguished and cut out from all the rest – genre is…
