It’s quite difficult to compare Dog Is Dead to any other band. Their sound falls somewhere in the space between pop and indie, but on a scale that hasn’t really been seen before, with the best parts of both genres injected in. Guitar led tracks are brought alive with epic drops and choruses that you…
Lucy Rose, the up-and-coming folk singer/songwriter, has released her long-awaited debut album. You may recognise Lucy Rose’s voice before you recognise the name; she featured on many of Bombay Bicycle Club’s tracks, namely ‘Flaws’ from their album of the same name and numerous tracks on their latest album. But Lucy Rose has slowly made a…
Battle Born is the Killers fourth studio album and arguably most anticipated, being released four years after Day and Age. During that time, three of the four members explored solo projects, with Brandon Flowers’ solo career most successful. Therefore the band could be expected to produce an entirely new sound, but do they? Battle Born…
Marcus Mumford’s band formed in 2007 and released their debut album Sigh No More in October 2009, gathering praise for their upbeat indie-folk tunes like ‘The Cave’ and ‘Little Lion Man’. Now Mumford & Sons are back with their sophomore record and fans of their first album won’t be disappointed. Babel bursts into life with…
Internet sensation and loveable, yet incomprehensible Korean hit ‘Gangnam Style’ has racked up over 250 million views on YouTube and topped charts across the world. Undoubtedly thanks to it’s video of inexplicable side shuffles and horse-whipping moves, PSY’s song has been shared by celebs, inspiring flash mobs, and confusing viewers since it was uploaded in…
Hip hop royalty unite to make this in-your-face Kanye West-led album.
The Script have just released their third studio album, the oh so imaginatively named #3 and it’s certainly an interesting listen.
Lydia Cialis explores Youtube sensation Gabrielle Aplin’s new single ‘Please Don’t Say You Love Me’
To Kill A King have independently recorded and released a 6 track EP entitled Word of Mouth (five original tracks alongside a cover). Each track showcases something unique about them as a band and demonstrates a wide array of talent amongst the 5 piece. Ralph Pelleymounter’s vocals are incredibly unique which makes each track instantly recognisable…
Band of Horses sure have been around. Going through a number of line up changes over the years, the bands’ movement and dynamism across America led to their second album; the 2007 release of Cease to Begin which was a powerful piece of emotive indie rock. Followed up by the calmer, but still impassioned Infinite Arms, the band’s…
You stand alone on a vast, empty plain. All around swirl ghostly lights, some in the sky, some right nearby, all have a translucent, transcendent beauty. Great sheaves of light glide in from far off on an unseen horizon and slide slowly, like the first rays of light in a primordial age. It’s a cold…
After 18 months The Vaccines are back with their second album titled Come of Age. Queue multiple puns about how they have grown up and literally ‘come of age’ in terms of their musical sound. I’ll try not to be as cliched despite this being very, very true. After the first album they left us…
The fourth single from what is said to be one the best albums of 2012, Given To The Wild by The Maccabees, is the wonderful ‘Ayla’. Personally ‘Ayla’ is my favourite track from the album and has grown to be one of the best tracks in recent times. I know this is a massive thing…
The Joy Formidable have announced their return with new single ‘Wolf’s Law’. A song of two parts – the beginning is slow, sombre and the use of piano is very articulate. Not The Joy Formidable I remember from their debut album The Big Roar. This change in style from indie rock is promising as it…
