For Biffy Clyro’s seventh studio album, the title Opposites is not an entirely appropriate one. While the first half: The Sand at the Core of Our Bones looks inward and the second half: The Land at the End of Our Toes looks forward, both halves cannot be viewed as separate entities, but rather they rely on…
There’s a famous Stewart Lee routine where the comic describes Richard Hammond as a little hamster who Jeremy Clarkson and James May occasionally let up on the table to ‘lap up his milk’. When listening to this song I cannot help but feel this is case with Adam Levine. Sandwiched between Eminen and 50 Cent,…
Delphic’s sophomore album, is a bizarre, incoherent mix of tracks which lose the vibrancy that made the dance-pop three-piece stand out in the first place.
Bastille’s new single ‘Pompeii’ is great in epic proportions.
‘Animal’ is the new single from Conor Maynard‘s debut album Contrast. In my opinion it is by far the best track on the whole album. It opens the record with such a bang that it can’t be ignored and it is of no surprise that the 20 year old singer/songwriter has chosen to release it.…
There’s one thing Dutch Uncles can never be accused of and that’s a lack of thought. Their third album, Out of Touch in the Wild, is clearly crafted with a sharp intelligence enforcing each note and a clear astuteness behind every lyric sung. It seems that with this album, Dutch Uncles, have earnt their place…
Toro Y Moi returns with his third studio album Anything Can Change, on which he maintains many of the grooves that have continually made this project one to look out for.
‘Cold Skin’ is the first single from To Kill A King‘s debut album Cannibals With Cutlery due for release on 24th February and it demonstrates the standard we should expect from the eagerly awaited record. It’s a fantastic song with fantastic lyrics and a fantastic music video to go alongside (it really is fantastic). I feel…
It takes a lot of confidence to name your second single ‘Step Up For The Cool Cats’, let alone put a picture of a guy in full gimp gear as the cover. Apparently Palma Violets have plenty to spare then because that’s exactly what they’ve done. Running in the same vein as ‘Best of Friends’;…
Solange Knowles is Beyoncé Knowles sister, but apparently it’s rude to mention this as she is now an artist her own right, so here, I will deny Beyoncé’s existence. Solange Knowles, the sister of absolutely no one famous, has been around for ages now. As far back as 2003, at the mere age of 14,…
Recently, while discussing the recording of Blink-182’s 2011 album Neighbourhoods, guitarist Tom Delonge said that the band ‘barely spoke’. This fractured relationship within the band could be heard in the album itself; while it was a decent record, it did feel that each member had brought their solo interests to the table and the band had…
‘Kiss You’ is the third single to be taken from One Direction’s recent album, Take Me Home, and is (unfortunately) a song that will invariably replay in your head for about a week after hearing it. It’s got nothing on previous singles (‘Live While We’re Young’ & Ed Sheeran penned ballad ‘Little Things’) but nevertheless…
Everything Everything’s debut album Man Alive was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize in 2011, and is one of our my favourite musical works of the last few years. So, has album number two, Arc, been worth the wait?
Alt-J – An Awesome Wave Released 25th May 2012, Infectious Music A worthy winner of The Edge’s number one album of 2012, this year the band have gathered a healthy fan base, helped by many festival performances over the summer. The record only reached number thirteen in the UK album charts, but re-entered the charts in…
