Peace take Edinburgh by storm at a stellar gig at Electric Circus and talk about life on tour and living on the moment. Superfood provide an equally stellar support act.
As part of their current UK tour, Little Comets performed at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire along with their supporting acts; Eliza and the Bear & The Crookes (both of which I had never heard of).
Jake Bugg. Dog is Dead. What do they have in common? They both hail from Nottingham of course! And Nottingham seems to be some kind of hive for new talent as four lads from the University there have produced some of the most glittery guitar hooks I’ve heard since Tourist History. This changes my UCAS applications greatly.
This fierce trio of London gals are definitely worth listening to; think raucous, short and sweet tunes, very à la The Vaccines.
The West “Mad”-lands has freshly prepared yet another band from its never-ending string of great bands. Superfood serve their first recording after patiently waiting for the buzz to build and the scene to be just ripe. I’m sorry for the puns.
Theme Park (at my favourite gay night club of them all), dance their way into a debut album on the neck-achingly high stage at Heaven….. N.B. I only know the one gay night club…

Swim Deep have recently released a new, extremely likeable song - “She Changes the Weather”.

Swim Deep come to the end of their headline tour with a killer show at XOYO.

From the ashes of a promising teen band comes another promising teen band. Based in… you guessed it: Birmingham. Yay for Birmingham knocking out another one.

It’s that time of the year again when NME feel the need to cause a little controversy and announce their full list of nominations.

The sheer abundance of teenage faces and their screaming enthusiasm for the sensation that is Jake Bugg one thing is clear, the man is making the country and bluegrass genre modern and relevant for the crazy kids of the times we live in.
