Naming all four songs on an album after each word of a band’s own name is a good idea, but why Do Make Say Think have waited until their sixth album to do is a mystery. Maybe they just ran out of original track names? Either way, the four songs on the albums are called [...]

Last week, as previously reported, The Verve managed to split for the third time. You can mock them for all you like, but as someone who likes The Verve, it's very hard not to find this a little bit frustrating. Since A Northern Soul, the band's second album, the release and touring of the records

Who is Final Fantasy? The man behind the alias is 29-year-old Canadian Owen Pallett. He has been creating music under the name for most of the decade and yes, his moniker name is a tribute to the much-loved computer game of the same name. He is a violinist and much of his music is based

There is some good news, finally, for both fans and people in the industry. UK festival chiefs and police have claimed that the number of people conned by fake ticketing websites and other various scams has gone down this summer.

Nine Black Alps have had a tricky couple of years. After the success of their 2005 debut, the wonderfully grunge-laden Everything Is, the release of their follow-up, the more pop sounding and commercial (an evil word, I know, but you’d be hard pressed to dispute it) Love/Hate, was met with a very muted response in [...]

If you fancy tickets to Reading and/or Leeds in a week and a half, my suggestion would be to hunt your nearest Oxfam store.

The question mark in the post title indicates that it isn’t necessarily confirmed, but if this song is not a leaked Radiohead song I will eat my hat. These Are My Twisted Words was leaked on fan forums late on Wednesday night and has been doing the rounds on the internet. There are also a [...]

What you see as the picture in this post is the artwork for the new Flaming Lips album, Embryonic, and is not only very typical of such a unique band but also insane looking. It bodes very well for a return that, as previously hinted by Wayne Coyne himself in a few interviews this summer, [...]

Les Paul, the man who invented the electric guitar, died yesterday at the age of 94 in New York over complications of pneumonia. He was widely regarded as the man credited for the invention of the solid-body electric guitar, after he put said item on sale in 1952, and an important figure in the birth [...]

As we approach the end of the decade, most people are contemplating what the high spots of that decade were and I’d be very surprised if people didn’t mention the countless number of great bands from New York. We’ve seen the emergence of hipster favourites TV On The Radio and the effortlessly cool Yeah Yeah [...]

Another reason to feel bummed about living in the UK instead of the USA (bar the right wing crooks who criticise the NHS on the basis of lies) is that The Flaming Lips are curating a whole day’s worth of ATP in New York. The band curate the third of a three day ATP weekend (11th/12th/13th [...]

This year, as you may have noticed, seems to be the year of the solo female artist. The likes of La Roux, Florence And The Machine and Little Boots have been regularly hyped up by the media and Lady Gaga continues to obtain number one after number one in the singles charts whilst wearing a [...]

The Manchester grunge rock four piece Nine Black Alps are finally set to release their third LP, Locked Out From The Inside, and to celebrate the release they’re seizing upon some good business opportunities for their forthcoming tour.

You might have heard recently that Julian Casablancas is going to be releasing a solo album this year, even though the whole world would probably prefer a new Strokes album. To mark the release of Phrazes For The Young he plans to tour in the autumn and it could be, if this week’s NME cover [...]

The last few days has been spent watching YouTube users moan and groan at the fake Them Crooked Vultures ‘leaks’ that had popped up on the video website but now they actually have something to sink their teeth into as the all-star trio posted an audio snippet late last night.

In the first of three special posts previewing this month’s Reading & Leeds festivals, I start by looking at where the big hitters and potential surprises lie on the Kings Of Leon headlined day.Most of the sell out crowds will probably be gathering around the Main Stage at around 10pm for the headlining set by [...]
