Album Review: Young Guns- Echoes
After a three year break between their second and third albums- the latter of which came out last year- Young Guns have not messed around this time. Just fifteen months after their last album Ones and Zeroes, the High Wycombe (recently diminished) four-piece are back again with Echoes, their fourth full length offering. Whilst each …
Track: The Emerald Down – Songs from Saturn
The Emerald Down have announced they are set to release a new album in 2017 on Wrong Way Records – with a new line-up thrown into the fray. Hot on the heels of their forthcoming 2016 reissue of Scream the Sound, shoegazers The Emerald Down, a band who Ian Watson (Melody Maker/Rolling Stone/NME/BBC 6 Music) ranked among “the …
Track: Touché Amoré – Rapture
Taken from L.A. based post hardcore band Touché Amoré’s recent Stage Four album, Rapture is the latest (the fourth, to be exact) single to be taken from the record. Whereas in the past the band trod firmly down the in your face, brittle post-hardcore path, Stage Four saw them move to a more melodic edge, …
Not Forgotten: Bruce Springsteen – Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.
I took the scenic route to being a Bruce Springsteen fan. Perhaps bizarrely I started with his critically acclaimed Tunnel of Love, before back tracking to the stadium-conquering Born in the USA. Losing interest for a while, it wasn’t until one of my closest friends started dating a Springsteen obsessive that my interest was sparked …
Track: NEWMOON – Head of Stone
It’s about time you were introduced to NEWMOON. Having formed in late 2013, this dreamy pop group have toured with bands all across Europe, as well as releasing their debut EP Invitation to Hold. They’re set to release their debut album this Autumn and have shared a new song, ‘Head Of Stone’, ahead of its …
Album Review: The Chris Robinson Brotherhood – Anyway You Love, We Know How You Feel
When The Black Crowes went on hiatus a few years ago, it’s probably fair to say that few of their fans held any great hopes out for either of the Robinson brothers releasing anything but sporadic niche-appeal vanity projects until the band regrouped. The fact that Anyway You Love, We Know How You Feel is …
Track: Death By Unga Bunga – Fight!
Not only are Norway’s Death By Unga Bunga blessed with a brilliant name, but – on the evidence of Fight!, taken from their new EP of the same name, they back it up with equally brilliant garage rock. It’s due out on September 9th via Jansen in conjunction with the re-release of their debut album, …
Meet: Legendary Joe Brown ahead of his one man tour
A legendary player on the British (and worldwide) rock and roll scene, it’s always a pleasure to see Joe Brown out on the road, but with his forthcoming tout, Just Joe – expect something different. That’s because it’s literally just Joe (and his guitar and Ukelele no doubt) but no band, just the man himself …
See: 3Teeth unveil video for new song Atrophy
3Teeth, the industrial band from L.A that bubbled up from the underground gaining numerous fans with their self titled debut in 2014 before reaching a whole other audience after joining Tool on tour, have just unveiled the video for new song Atrophy. The video co-directed by vocalist Alexis Mincolla & Vicente Cordero and shot in …
Buyers’ Guide: Slade – Live
Perhaps more than at any other point in the history of popular song, the early 70s were a schizophrenic time for rock music, particularly here in the UK, with a sharp contrast between the singles and albums charts. In the album charts, heavyweights like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and a whole host of other hairy …
