This year’s Reading Festival is just around the corner so now’s the time to get excited and prepare yourself for a fantastic time at one of the UK’s best festivals. Reading gets bigger and better every year and the three headliners this year really are pretty legendary: The Cure, Kasabian and Foo Fighters. The Main…
Every single article that refers to Brighton’s Conor Maynard speaks of his frustration with the comparison to the Canadian ‘heart-throb’ Justin Bieber. I for one feel his frustration. Yes, there are some similarities, especially with their targeted demographic being almost identical, but I can safely say that I very much like Conor Maynard and I very much dislike Justin…
For those of you that haven’t listen to the entirety of Labrinth’s debut album Electronic Earth what have you been listening to this year?! Before you read any further go and listen to it. You will not regret it. The fourth single from the album is ‘Treatment’. To be perfectly honest this song needs no fancy…
The people at Boardmasters this year have introduced an all new attraction in the form of Day Sessions. Located on the beautiful Fistral Beach these sessions will be free of charge. Live music will be on between 2pm and 4pm on Wednesday 8th August, Thursday 9th August and Sunday 12th August. So whilst you’re catching…
Scouting for Girls are (unfortunately) back just in time for our delightful British summer, with a single called, who’d of thought it, ‘Summertime in the City’. With an idiotic video, and equally stupid lyrics accompanied by a predictable ‘la la la’ melody, it’s just another generic pop song from the three piece. The thing with…
The second single from Electra Heart is the hard-hitting ‘Power and Control’ and with ‘Primadonna’ as the brilliant first single, it has a tough act to follow. A strong choice from Marina Diamandis, perhaps choosing it for it’s direct comment on the power struggle in relationships. However, critics have claimed that Marina has lost her musical…
By now we’ve all uttered the words “Oh, have you heard that Azealia Banks chick? You know the ‘212’ one?” to countless people and usually received an acknowledged nod in return or an enthusiastic “I LOVE ‘212’!” followed by chants of “Ima ruin you cunt!” to the nearest person. However, despite ‘212’ being the track…
One day I would love to see Enter Shikari write about flowers and rainbows instead of always writing pessimistic, angry songs about sticking it to the man. This theme runs throughout all three studio albums (with the odd song about space) and their new single ‘Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here’ is no…
Ellie Goulding is back with a cover of Active Child’s ‘Hanging On’ which indicates the direction that the British song-bird is heading in. Ditching those acoustic guitars for something a little more substantial and different, it’s a shame that this song is almost completely ruined by the monotone rap of Tinie Tempah. The song opens beautifully…
The X Factor contestant is back with his second single ‘Curtain Call’ and it really isn’t anything to get overly excited about. The single definitely isn’t as noticeable as his multi-layered exciting first single ‘Is This Love’. His vocals are the main focus of the verses of this slower single. The choruses are more upbeat…
For those of you looking to escape to the beach this summer, look no further! Located on the wonderful Cornwall coast in Newquay, Relentless Energy Drink Boardmasters is set to be an amazing weekend for all those attending. With the line-up getting bigger and better each year, it’s soon becoming one of must-go-to festivals of…
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Paloma Stoecker, aka Delilah, it’s about time you sat up and started to pay attention to her. She broke through by featuring on the track ‘Time’ with Chase and Status and is following this up by playing at multiple festivals this summer and holding her own as a…
Releasing a bonus track is something that is rarely seen but Bombay Bicycle Club have done exactly that with their new single ‘Beg’ from their third studio album A Different Kind of Fix. The band released the video for this track just 3 days before it’s release date (see below) they warned their fans via Facebook that…
Minaj has released her fourth track from her latest album in the form of ‘Pound The Alarm’. Initially I was pretty disappointed by Minaj’s new, monstrous, 23 song album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded but ‘Pound The Alarm’ is one of those soon-to-be massive club hits which proves why Minaj has the fame she does. It covers all…
