10 Questions with Fenech-Soler

Fenech-Soler are here again. We just couldn't resist welcoming the Kings Cliffe's quartet back with open arms to the Shout4Music sofa. With an extensive tour across the UK in full flow, there's no reason to avoid getting off your rather plump behinds and seeing these glossy synth popsters in person. So what are you waiting for?

10 Questions with Is Tropical

Is Tropical reek a dexterity of devilish amalgamation of genres melting into one another. They’re a bunch of adolescent masked freedom-thinking musicians, who, with Egyptian Hip-Hop scaled the country as a joint headline show in all the beer soaked venues that would allow them through their doors.

Los Campesinos!

Los Campesinos! have always been a house favourite. Always one to fish hook me when they appear at a festival that I attend. Give them their dues, they are one of the only bands out there that get my incoherent limbs jiggling sparingly. For me, the first album was one of the most underrated of the last five years. And they have appeared unscathed from the dreaded second album grave yard.

And what did this bright young indie pop band out of concrete city have to say...Have a look then!

The Reverence – ‘My Town’

in Single Reviews

'My Town', the debut single and album amuse bouche from Brighton Trio Reverence, is something of an anti-triumph for indie rock. From the opening guitar riff to the thankfully accelerated conclusion, My Town is hopelessly amateur with all the imbalance of a live pub recording and instrumental expertise of a sixth form band.

Chapel Club – ‘O Maybe I’

in Single Reviews

'O Maybe I', the follow-up single to Chapel Club’s debut single 'Surfacing', is a perfect combination of 1980s pop noir and contemporary Brit pop polish. It blends the dirty bass sound of early Dépêche Mode, the distorted electric strumming of U2’s the Edge Continue Reading »

Angus & Julia Stone – ‘Down The Way’

in Album Reviews

Angus & Julia Stone’s second album contains some interesting and atmospheric alt-country ballads, with a number of stripped back, harmonious folksy numbers. A lovely piano hook with light strings and an airy, purposeful rhythm forms opening number 'Hold On' Continue Reading »

We The Kings – ‘Heaven Can Wait’

in Single Reviews

If you like teeny-bopping American pop-rock then We The Kings will be the Prince's duly waiting to take their throne in your blurry eyes. However, if your taste isn't obscured by a dirge of over lauded guitar solos and insipid lyrics... Continue Reading »
