    Kasabian – Days Are Forgotten

    Kasabian’s new single is worth buying, if only for the B-side.

    The return of pop punk? Blink 182 – ‘Up All Night’

    Since 2009, when Mark Hoppus declared that ‘Blink-182 is back’, the trio have been on and off the musical radar like a yo-yo on overdrive: one minute they had a sixth album they were dying to showcase, the next they were pulling out of and suspending headline tours. Amidst all this, a die hard fan […]

    Is Charlie Sheen Really Winning on his collaboration with Snoop Dogg?

    I’m sure we are all aware of Charlie Sheen’s rather public implosion as he indulged in various vices of sex and drugs with pornstars. Particularly is the highly entertaining interview on Good Morning America with the infamous quote of ‘bi-winning’ – whatever that means and his seemingly rational egotistic ideology that he has some superhuman […]

    Caned & Able – Monkey Song

    With a perfect example of lazy, second-rate song writing, Caned & Able arrive to abuse our ears with ‘Monkey Song’, the new single from their upcoming debut album. Offering only its meaty synth bassline as any hope of musical appeal, the track aims to please those simple minded people who eagerly nod their heads at […]

    Allo Darlin’ – My Heart is a Drummer

    In my admittedly rather hackneyed opinion, there are few things better in this world than a really good 3-minute pop song.  Trendy indie floorfillers might make you tap you feet, but could they lift your spirits? Luckily, Allo Darlin‘ are here to fill that pop-shaped hole in your lives with the fourth single from their (quite lovely) […]

    The Pierces: You’ll Be Mine EP

    Unlike anything in the charts at the moment, the Alabama-born Pierce sisters (Allison and Catherine) have managed to recast a ‘70s hippy/country vibe for a mainstream market, with help from Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman: producer of their forthcoming album and apparent saviour of their previously failing music careers. However a far cry from Coldplay’s recent […]
