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 [...]
Album name: Save Rock and Roll Artist name: Fall Out Boy Genre: Dance-Pop/Rock Released: April 16, 2013 Label: Island ZME Rating: 8/10 Website: falloutboyrock.com Fall Out Boy have had an odd transition in the last decade.

This Oxford-based band take their name from the Scottish town of Stornoway on the Hebridean Isle of Lewis, and I’m not sure if that’s a sleepy little town or what but this music definitely reflects what a sleepy town would sound like. With soothing folk-like guitar melodies and calming vocals the self-recorded “Tales From Terra [...]
He’s still rude. His beats still aren’t orthodox. If you were expecting a run of the mill, traditional rap album this probably isn’t the one for you. That being said, if you want an exciting, multifaceted, twisted experience, Tyler’s got you covered. There’s so many different sounds and genres packed into this album that it [...]
With their fractured Angles recording sessions, the absence of any definite tour plans, and the complete media blackout surrounding their new album, The Strokes are giving every indication that their time together is up.

A name that has been all over the internet for a few years now, with their numerous members, different albums, crazy live shows and now a clothing brand? Safe to say that Odd Future are definitely at the top of their game at the moment. [...]
Justin Timberlake has been away from music for a while. It’s been six and a half years since the release of his last album, the excellent and widely popular FutureSex/LoveSounds. Thus, Timberlake can be forgiven for trying to pack his follow-up, The 20/20 Experience, with as much music as possible. The ten tracks on The [...]

Ironically, more material has been released since his infamous passing than during his lifetime; some have claimed, and with good arguments, that this [...]
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 [...]
Origin: Surrey, England Disclosure are the British duo of brothers, Howard and Guy Lawrence and are definitely the one to look out for in 2013. With a mix of warm synth, deep bass and fast tapped beats, the guys recreate a vibe of future/house/garage music, but it’s definitely not something I’ve heard before. They are [...]
