Watch: CHVRCHES cover of Janelle Monae’s ‘Tightrope’
Regular readers of All-Noise will know I’m quite a big fan of the very underrated Janelle Monae, and you’ll probably also be aware that I quite liked CHVRCHES debut album as well.

Yes, we know we’ve been talking a lot about Beady Eye recently – but with the rate they’re throwing out new material, and the lack of anything else going on, can you blame us!? Whatever you think about Liam and his new band (and people tend to have some strong opinions!), you can’t deny they […]
