I followed this guy the next night and it was ...

I stumbled across Northern Irish trio Two Door Cinema Club as the opening track on the latest Kitsune Maison 7 compilation with their latest single Something Good Can Work. The song is up-beat and catchy - perfect indie-pop. As I would later find out, the rest of their limited catalogue is just as good and should make for a worthwhile debut album in the not too distant future.mp3: Two Door Cine...

After the June blog drought, we're back! My hectic music week has been spent catching up on all the latest releases as well as reflecting on some of Jacko's finer moments. Whatever your opinion may be on Michael as a person, the world has lost perhaps the greatest entertainer/artist of our time and it would be wrong of us not to leave a tribute.There were many memorable performances over the ye...

Now normally I would always browse around at the support act however this occasion i didnt get around to it.I dont know what it was that caught my attention about these guys. Maybe it was the catchy riffs, or maybe it was the show that they put on swapping and changing between instrumen...

As a music blogger, my existence depends upon this kind of golden discovery. And, as a recession statistic, my current well-being is totally reliant on hearing pieces of pure music brilliance such as this...The Middle East are a 6-piece out of Townsville, Australia. They've apparently been around for a while, but having recently signed with Spunk Records, they have just released their first EP,...

ROGUES (UK)Not So Pretty is the excellent first single from these talented Brits. Like the rest of the demos featured on their Myspace, the track has a very 80's sound, much like Duran Duran or Bowie but also has a resemblance to one of last years great bands, Foals. Not So Pretty is available as a limited edition 7" from Pure Groove here. There are no details for an album at this stage, but it...

"To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time." ~Clara OrtegaWhen your life is flipped up side down with the loss of someone who is apart of who you are, the first few weeks pa...

Should I, or Shouldn't I..... I don't like to exploit the fact that an album has leaked but this is an exception because as most blogger's will agree, this is one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, and I figured if i don't someone else will! Along with this I've also concluded that in the coming months 'Manners' its going to cause massive hype everywhere, and its already started... There...

This week it's pig flu, but not so long ago, that not-so-attractive Scottish lady who could actually sing was a world media headliner...Susan got me thinking about an old guilty pleasure - Les Mis.

DISCOVERY (NYC)As far as experimental electronic side projects go, I would have to rate The Postal Service as the absolute benchmark...and as there is sadly nothing coming from Ben Gibbard and Co. in the foreseeable future, Discovery could be closest to filling the void. Discovery are Ra Ra Riot frontman Wes Miles and Vampire Weekend keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij. They only have the two toons o...
