Tribes – Baby [rating:4/5] Buy Baby For those of us looking for an exciting new band to herald the next explosion of great British guitar music, Camden four-piece Tribes’ debut album has long been earmarked as the possible game changer.

If you’ve been keeping up with your intergalactic space parachuting you’ll know that Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner is planning to free fall from 120,000ft. This is basically free falling from the edge of space. It’s all impressive stuff, fraught with danger and super cool! If successful the attempt will break the previous height set by […]

They’re now prepping their first album, which is due out in February on Wichita Recordings, and have revealed a brand new track from it called ‘Get Tight’. Similar to ‘Cut The Grass’ and ‘Kenworth’, ‘Get Tight’ […]
