Local Winchester-based musician Josh Savage released his debut solo E.P, Mountains in Hurricanes early last month, which was recorded partly in his bedroom and partly at studios in York University where he studied. Josh has been fortunate enough to have had BBC Introducing air play, as well as being a support act for the likes…
Tribes shot to fame by creating a name for themself the old fashioned way by gigging around Camden. In fact it was practically impossible to find any indication they even existed on the internet in the early days, such behaviour is practically unheard of within this technological age we now live in. Despite their non-existence…
Whilst you may not know An Escape Plan by name you will certainly be familiar with their single ‘Living Together’ as it has recently featured in Ikea’s latest advertising campaign. But do not be fooled into thinking this is a ballad about reasonably priced flat packed furniture. Instead this is a delightful little number that…
Upon the release of their eighth studio album, Graffiti on the Train, I found myself contemplating: are the Stereophonics on the right track to another successful album? Or have they finally run out of steam? After listening, however, it was clear that they hadn’t lost their touch. The new album demonstrates how the band aren’t afraid to re-invent themselves…
Overgrown sees James Blake take the criticisms and commendations of his debut on board to demonstrate profound honesty, floundering melancholy and irrefutable musical ability.
Filthy Empire is the long awaited debut album from British hard rockers Heaven’s Basement, formed in 2008. It is produced by famed producer John Feldmann, who has worked with many of the most successful modern rock bands such as Good Charlotte, Papa Roach and Black Veil Brides. During the long gestation period of this album…
The Strokes have a habit of keeping us all guessing what they’ll do next. After Is This It? everyone expected a natural progression in Room On Fire—but instead they gave us a completely different beast. No one really ever expected a follow up to First Impressions Of Earth after such a long time and such…
The album opens with ‘Wolf’ a beautiful piano led introduction wonderfully dirtied up in true Tyler style with the first obvious lyric being ‘Fuck. Fuck You’. Welcome to the word of Wolf, the third studio album from Tyler, The Creator. Tyler told the world three years ago that his third album would be called Wolf and despite messing around…
Itch’s debut solo EP leaves one with the notion that he should first learn how to f*cking rule at making music before focusing on life itself.
‘All Around the World’ is the latest offering from Canadian tween heart throb Justin Bieber. It features his second collaboration with rapper Ludacris since 2010 single ‘Baby’ (arguably the track that launched Bieber’s career). And despite myself, I liked ‘Baby’. It was catchy and poppy and a complete guilty pleasure, so I was hoping for…
As a huge fan of the indie-rock movement, I know as much as anybody how much competition is out there at the moment, and thus how hard it can be to stand out. However, with their debut album In Love, Peace show exactly how this outstanding status can be achieved, with almost flawless precision. The…
Beyoncé has made a wrong move. In a desperate post-baby attempt to appear fresh and regain her place on the Queen B throne of R&B, her new track ‘Bow Down/I Been On‘ has been released on her Tumblr. Telling fans “You dreamed of being in my world / Don’t you forget it, Respect that / Bow down…
The debut single ‘Bloodsports’, is the song that effectively establishes Drenge’s identity as the devil’s advocates who’ve had enough of hiding away in the dark corners of the music industry, and are ready to reveal themselves to the masses. Like a vicious Saturday-night-fight down at the local, the shedding guitar announces the beginning of the…
The 20/20 Experience is the upcoming third studio album by American pop-star, actor, former Mickey Mouse club and ‘N Sync member, and all around nice guy, Justin Timberlake. It comes almost 7 years after the release of previous album FutureSex/LoveSounds in 2006 and it was getting to the point where I was wondering if JT…
