Editors debuted this video for ‘You Don’t Know Love’, to be the second single from ‘In This Light and On This Evening’, last Wednesday on MySpace. Don’t ask me to explain what’s going on in this video, because I won’t even try. All I know is that it’s a damn sexy song, and [...]

Ok, ok, so I’ve written plenty of Band to Watch pieces here at There Goes The Fear over the last few months. But I think, I think, this may be the toughest I’ve had to do yet. Why? Well, because, the duo which I plan on telling you about today have given me a mere [...]

Morden, London based Good Shoes have done it again with their new single, out 11 January on Brille Records. The foursome, consisting of Rhys Jones (vocals/guitar), Thomas Jones (drums), Stephen Leach (lead guitar) and William Church (bass), have been gaining momentum ever since Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe played the band’s demos on their radio [...]

Steve Lamacq has been going on about the throwback sound of Sunderland’s Frankie and the Heartstrings and their current single ‘Hunger’, recalling a simpler time in rock ‘n’ roll’s history. The other day I was flipping channels on the telly and heard something that I thought was Frankie and co. But no, it [...]

In the spirit of the holidays, Geordies Maximo Park (with frontman Paul Smith pictured above) are giving away the Mumdance’s KERPLUNK! remix of ‘Let’s Get Clinical’. It’s a bit schizophrenic with plinky plonky synths at one part and marching band / fiesta noises in another. But everything goes crazy around the holidays, [...]

Back in the day, Carson Daly was a big deal in my and my friends’ lives. He hosted an afternoon show on MTV America called ‘Total Request Live’ (or ‘TRL’ for short) when the stars of the late ’90s music world – think boybands, poppy Shania Twain, Korn, and ‘Ray of Light’-era Madonna – [...]

Yes, I know it’s horribly late in the game. But it’s only recently that I’ve started to appreciate the eloquence of Alex Turner’s lyrics. Who writes stuff like “I elongated my lift home” and “I kept my shortcuts to myself“? It’s like Morrissey’s ‘Driving Your Girlfriend Home’ but better.Check out the lo-fi [...]

If you’re a regular reader of the There Goes The Fear, you’ll be down with how exciting Manchester is for us right now. It’s a hub of musical amazement, knocking out soon-to-be-huge bands like tasty hot cakes. So, I guess you’ll understand how thrilled we were this week when we got an e-mail telling us [...]

I have mixed feelings about the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hotel. It doesn’t have anything to do with the talent they book: I’ve seen several amazing shows there – Jack Penate / Miike Snow in September for example. The crowds usually aren’t as big or vocal (therefore the vibe’s not as great) as with [...]

Paolo Nutini is never one to sit back and doing a quick paint-by-numbers song. This gorgeous cover of Arcade Fire’s classic “Wake Up” is a challenge that he’s mastered – though I know a few people will think this is the spawn of satan. Whatever, take a listen and leave your comments below. [See post [...]

What’s up with all the gigs I’ve been attending lately? They’re all selling out! Obviously, this is wonderful for the acts themselves, especially for those from the UK or Europe who have traveled to play venues here in America and wondered how they’d be received. But the average punter like me ends [...]
