  • The Black Keys – Lonely Boy

    The Black Keys return with another strong, simple heavy blues song for the masses.

  • Beyoncé – Love on Top

    Queen Bee is on form in this jelly-jiggling number from her album 4.

  • Real Estate – It’s Real

    A cut from the band’s new sophomore LP that more than sets the mood of the album.

  • Rostam – Wood/Don’t Let It Get to You

    Rostam Batmanglij, one half of the creative force behind Vampire Weekend, has gone solo. He’s posted two new tracks on his Tumblr page: firstly ‘Wood’, followed by ‘Don’t Let It Get to You’. Excited? Apprehensive? You probably should be. ‘Wood’ sounds like George Harrison having a picnic with Sufjan Stevens on a sunny afternoon in […]

  • Steven Malkmus and the Jicks – Senator

    The Peter Pan of alt. rock returns with ‘Senator’

  • Foster the People – Call It What You Want

    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 […]

  • Gym Class Heroes – Stereo Hearts (feat. Adam Levine)

    I only hope this heartfelt hit will never leave us behind, because good music can be so hard to find.

  • Cher Lloyd – With Ur Love (feat. Mike Posner)

    The X-Factor star’s second serving of ‘swag pop’ is a great improvement from her derivative debut.

  • Evanescence – What You Want

    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 – Earthquake (feat. Tinie Tempah)

    Labrinth and Tinie Tempah return with a cool, cocky song which propels them back into the spotlight.

  • Bombay Bicycle Club – Lights Out, Words Gone

    This is a core indie-folk song from Bombay Bicycle Club, who have shown their wide range of abilities yet still stay strong in their traditional territory of calm song-writing

  • Matt Cardle – Run for Your Life

    “An absolute belter” – Cardle and Barlow win over an indie kid

  • Washed Out – Amor Fati

    ‘Amor Fati’ is the newest chill-wave offering by American singer-songwriter Ernest Greene, otherwise known as Washed Out. The song is a slight deviation from the very mellow and pristine album Within and Without, and has just about enough spirit and rhythm, especially in the chorus, to be picked up and noticed as a single. The […]

  • Braids – Peach Wedding

    Braids return with harmonies and synths aplenty, but it’s not enough of a progression.
