If you have ever been stunned, amazed and bewildered when having seen Green Day performing whether it be live on stage or in a recorded live performance then it would do you well to seek out The Living End.When they recently performed at the Forum, they won the entire crowd...

For a band that dissolved in 1997, GUN have been remarkably alive and well ever since. This time it’s not just one-off shows or re-releases; it’s a live, touring, recording line-up courtesy of the 2008 hiring of ex-Little Angels frontman Toby Jepson. And they come bearing new music. So naturally...

"Walkabout"from the album Logos2009iTunesIt's as if Bradford Cox has a giant bolt of stained, candy-colored shoegaze-pop gauze in his brain. He yanks off a few yards every few months, and lo and behold, there's another album or EP or single, either with his...

Hmmmm,the PR around this release would imply that GLC are going for commercial success rather than industry credibility. Nothing new there then.I wont even attempt to plug the special features of this single but the song itself can garner a nod in one respect it is typical GLC in...

If GUN hadn’t proved so compelling, I would have made it in time for Hysterica’s set, but instead I’m five minutes late and arrive at an already almost full room wondering how many other people have done the same. But I was determined to catch whatever I could from the...

The tracks on Blue Roses new EP are certainly sweet and dreamy. Opener ‘Does Anyone Love Me Now?’ has vocals reminiscent of Regina Spektor (at times) gracefully meandering through gentle, sparkling shimmers of strings and acoustic guitar. ‘Doubtful Comforts’ performed live with Grammatics is melancholy loveliness; the cello sound brings...

Kanye West, Nas, KRS-One and Rakim | “Classic (Better Than I’ve Ever Been)” | 2007The Aughts have been rather stingy with its worthwhile posse cut output. In fact, besides “Better Than I’ve Ever Been”* I can’t recall a notable example. It’s a shame, really. Posse cuts used to be a...

Gotta Get Smart" might be the slowest, saddest song on an album full of tearjerkers, and as such it's an apt opener for El Perro del Mar's Love Is Not Pop. Singer and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Assbring shows off her compositional prowess, putting gently strummed acoustics, reverb-laden synths, and the lightest...

Logan were originally booked to play HRH last year, which must make them the latest appearing band on the bill (in reality tour commitments with Alter Bridge forced them to pull out). This year the Glaswegian rockers are the opening act for stage one, and grab the opportunity with both...

Anyone who has ever been to Shepherds Bush's Bush Hall will know that it's a pretty weird venue for any artist to play...once you have fought your way passed the crackheads and Jehovah's witnesses, (both annoying, but at least crackheads don't knock on your door), that litter the main street...
