“My Propeller“, the 3rd single off Arctic Monkeys‘ latest album, the 2009 released “Humbug“, will get released next Tuesday. Until then though, I came across the B-side for the single, a brand new AM song titled “The Afternoon’s Hat“. I really like the somewhat nouvelle direction the band have taken with their new album, embracing [...]

Released just this week, Plastic Beach already has a slew of almost unanimous critical acclaim, but Damon Albarn isn’t sitting on his laurels yet, though. As a really sweet ‘thank you’ to all of their fans, the cartoon band will play intimate dates in Portsmouth, Bristol, Cambridge, Brighton, Birmingham and Lincoln as a [...]
You know Phoebe from way back when she started performing and touring with Nouvelle Vague. No long introduction is needed for this artist, as I'm sure you all know about her totally original and impressive performances of Human Fly, Bela Lugosi's Dead, Escape Myself etc., about her absolutely brilliant [...]
Pearse McGloughlin is a Sligo-born songwriter and musician, who served his time in a series of bands before deciding to fly it solo – taking in many locations along the way. Spells in Dublin, London, Canada and France have no doubt shaped his broad musical talents and acute observational lyrics, and with “Busy Whisper”, he [...]
The Dead Milkmen, a Philadelphia quartet known for their quirky underground hit singles such as “Punk Rock Girl,” “Dean’s Dream,” and “Stuart,” spent years making an art form out of not taking things too seriously during their late 80’s heyday. Twenty years later, the world hasn’t forgotten them. There could have been little more proof [...]
Don’t get me wrong here, I love the Foo Fighters, I really do. “The Colour and the Shape” is one of my all time favorite albums, and I’m a huge fan of Grohl’s work, be it in the kit with Nirvana, QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures or playing frontman in the FF, but recently it’s [...]
Between so many solo projects by each of The Strokes‘ band members, it seems like their new album is the one left to suffer the most. There’s been so much talk and speculating around it, that I, for one, don’t even know what to say, or write for that matter, anymore. It’s almost the beginning [...]
It’s only been until this summer that I finally got acquainted with Thao and the Get Down Stay Down’s incredible alt rock, when, completely by chance, I stumbled across their myspace. Boy, was I missing out! There’s something really special about the band, it’s almost like they have this sort of aura around them, something [...]
Julian Casablancas‘ first single, “11th Dimension”, off his upcoming debut solo album, has been more or less unanimously voted the hottest track of the past month, based on the outrageous amount of reactions on blogs, twitter, facebook and all the other social networks that you can think of. With “Phrazes For The Young” being slated [...]
I call voodoo on These United States‘ latest video for the band’s infectious single “Everything Touches Everything.” Voodoo and all, you gotta admit that a charismatic scarecrow frontman, together with his skilled corn mates make up for one hell of kick ass band. They get a shit load of crows for groupies too. Life as [...]
