You may remember I featured hotly-tipped Bristol band SEASFIRE in New Music a few months ago (here’s the link if you don’t: SEASFIRE – ‘Falling’). Well, they’ve gone from strength to strength since then – supporting Spector, playing festivals, getting on radio playlists, and generally picking up the kind of momentum that suggests 2013 is […]

Interpol front-man Paul Banks has released the video for his new single ‘Young Again’ – one of the many highlights from his new solo album Banks. Sticking to the themes of the song, the video – directed by Sophia Peer – sees Banks go back to school, get bullied a bit and then kick ass […]

The Vaccines have added four more arena shows to their burgeoning tour itinerary today, as their ambition to become the UK’s pre-eminent touring guitar band shows no sign of abating.

Called the ‘Bad Blood Tour’, the band will play a total of 16 dates throughout the UK – running from 28 February to 28 March next year. Here’s […]
Yesterday felt like playing a game of cat-and-mouse with Arcade Fire. No sooner had a new radio rip of new Reflektor track ‘Afterlife’ popped up on Soundcloud (after its premiere on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show) it was getting taken down again. After embedding three new versions that quickly got taken down, I gave up […]
If you only live once, why do we keep doing the same shit? With that, the firebrand that is MIA not only effortlessly dismisses Drake and his ‘YOLO’ nonsense but also well and truly announces herself back on the scene. Her new album Matangi is out in a couple of weeks, and ‘Y.A.L.A.’ (You Always […]
