Arctic Monkeys – Suck It And See After riding the massive hype wave of their first two albums all the way to the arenas, the Arctic Monkeys took a bit of a detour with third album Humbug – swapping the sing-along choruses and crowd pleasing riffs for an altogether denser and less accessible affair. Typically […]

As a warm up to their appearance at the Sasquatch music festival in the US this weekend, Arctic Monkeys played their first gig in over a year in California last night – and debuted a brand new track called ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ in the process. There’s no word yet on whether ‘Do I Wanna […]
5 albums that deserved to win the Mercury Prize
So far there has been 21 winners of the Mercury Prize, or Mercury Music Prize as it was once called. It’s now officially called the Barclaycard Music Prize for sponsorship reasons, but we’ll stick with Mercury Prize from here on in, I think.

This years Brit Awards nominations are as uninspiring as usual…
I don’t know why I’m surprised, especially after last years very drab Brit Awards. Some part of me had hoped for a bit of excitement and drama this time round, but today’s Brit Awards nomination announcement has well and truly killed that hope. Why, I hear you ask?
