The Peter Pan of alt. rock returns with ‘Senator’
You know that song ‘Pumped Up Kicks’? Yes, of course you do – that catchy upbeat electro pop song that became one of the songs of the summer. Know who sang it? Probably not. Foster the People continue their rise with new single ‘Call It What You Want’, building on the unexpected success of aforementioned…
After listening to ‘Sail’, the debut single from the album Megalithic Symphony, I was surprised when I gave the rest of the album a listen. But it was a pleasant surprise. This album has a variety of sounds, providing instantly lovable tracks that make the album an excellent listen. AWOLNATION are an electro rock band…
You may not have heard of Cosmo Jarvis, a 22-year-old singer-songwriter hailing from New Jersey, but Stephen Fry certainly has (thank you Twitter), and the comedy God recommends you give the new guy a chance. I say “new guy”, but Jarvis actually released his debut album back in 2009. Don’t bother looking for it in…
The indie pop festival favourites are back, with a haunting and beautiful, but flawed, sophomore effort.
I only hope this heartfelt hit will never leave us behind, because good music can be so hard to find.
The X-Factor star’s second serving of ‘swag pop’ is a great improvement from her derivative debut.
Amy Lee’s latest attempt at a consistent quintet (more widely known as Evanescence) has peered out of purgatory with their alt-rock return ‘What You Want.’ The pleasing orchestral orgy that their wannabe-goth gathering has found solace in is mostly missing, if not obscured by generic guitar work that is far too potent. Lee’s luscious larynx…
Labrinth and Tinie Tempah return with a cool, cocky song which propels them back into the spotlight.
Suffice it to say the French native Anthony Gonzalez decided to be ambitious on his next effort with his outfit M83, and for the most part this 72-minute behemoth of a double LP works well; very well in fact, if this album is given some time any listener or fan of shoegaze or synthpop will…
I must admit, I never really understood what the big deal was regarding James Blake. However, in order to ensure this was an informed review, I gave his self-titled debut album my undivided attention, and I have to say, whilst not being overwhelmed, I was pleasantly surprised and above all impressed. Therefore, I imagined I’d…
If I’m honest, I’m still in love with I Speak Because I Can. The thought of another Marling masterpiece is a tad overwhelming, as I can still listen to ‘Goodbye England’ with the same fervour as the first time I heard it. So, after a quick lie down and some gin, I was ready to…
Blink-182 are back, and for that we should be grateful, even if it’s just not quite as fun anymore.
Baddies take on brainless pop-punk
