In the US on March 3rd Ireland’s Bell X1 will release the follow up album to the highly praised Flock they released a few years back. The new album is entitled Blue Lights On The Runway and is being released on Yep Rock. I was a fan of most of Flock, but admittedly I was [...]
Brighton's Great Escape Festival has had it's first set of names announced to the musical world and by the looks of things, it's as equally awesome as a fountain of chocolate love.

WRXP, it could be better but I won't complain too loudly.)These lads have a load of great music out and coming out (3/3/09). They've been local favourites since their days fronted by Damien Rice, when they were known as Juniper. Afte...
