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 [...]

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.

Origin: Manchester, England The 1975 were one of the best new bands of 2012, and are now certainly ones to watch for 2013!

They've been performing for such a long time, that it is impossible not to have heard songs like "Tram 21", "U.O.R." or "Bells".

It can be hard to know what to make of the latest solo sideline project from Julian Casablancas of the Strokes.

Provocative artwork? Surely not. That’s not blood on the cover of the new Manic Street Preachers album, just a boy with one side of his face more red than the other.
