Just Handshakes played their very first Record Store Day instore last year and have again cooked up something special for 2013. But they're keeping it well under wraps. The cheeky buggers... West Yorkshire indie popsters Just Handshakes are gearing up to release brand new record Say It on May 20th. The Leeds foursome's first single from that record, 'London Bound' , has delighted many an ear resulting in spontaneous bouts of serious foot-tapping around the UK (with the odd knee-slap [...]

For reasons unknown, all names shall be culled from this blogaruu. Except for mine. I'm going full on narcissistic. Tropical Hayes all the way! So it's the day after Halloween. Actually, the night. Limo pulls up outside my abode. It's time. Put on my private jet pants. Grab my bag. Scuttle out. Hop in. High fives. [...]
So, Gimme Noise and all associated City Pages websites all decided to collectively go on the fritz for a few hours on Tuesday afternoon. And for those folks who weren't out performing some sort of ci
It's been confirmed that Mitch Lucker, frontman for Suicide Silence has died following a motorbike crash in Huntington Beach, California. At the time of writing, no further details regarding the nature of the crash have been released † . He was just 28 years old. That video should immediately show you how much of a good guy Mitch Lucker (and indeed the rest of the guys in Suicide Silence) was. Man, even writing that in the past tense, using was instead [...]
Crashed is the latest release on the Black Butter Records label, an east London dance label whose most famous artist of the moment is undoubtedly Rudimental . Stay+ (stay positive) are the latest addition to the roster, an electro duo from Manchester whose previous material includes 2011's Young Luv , on which the funereal production is juxtaposed with footage of the royal wedding. Crashed is certainly a less controversial track. [...]
Coming off the back of their fellow band mate's ( Moses Gold ) new cut, Manc duo Stay + return with new single "Crashed". continue reading >>
Myl Rashad seems to have appeared out of thin air. Myl hit my email with his debut single, The Crash, and it is quite the introduction. The closest comparison that comes to mind is Theophilus London, but that's really a stretch since I'm mostly basing that strictly on the fact that in the photo above, Myl is wearing circular shades and a full brim hat. Getting down to the music, this is some fantastic alt. hip-hop. Supported by a super warm instrumental track, Myl completely rides this beat with a flow reminiscent of the mid-'90s. Also worth noting, this guy [...]
C.R.A.S.H. A War on All Fronts 73 EP PPM I can't decide whether hardcore was more fun back in the 80s, when there was little irony and people thought it was the ONE TRUE PUNK, or more fun now. Clearly I prefer the latter-day stuff, though when played in the super group C.R.A.S.H. by folks like Dean Spunt from No Age and Michelle Suarez of Mika Miko, you kind of get the feeling that this is a creative breather for them-like those hardcore songs the Beastie Boys wedged into their albums [...]
Quick. What band has released the most irresistible 602s style pop record this year? Did you guess The Primitives? You should have. 24 years after the band’s kitten-clawed iconic hit “Crash,” and nearly two decades after their official split, The Primitives have returned with Echoes and Rhymes, surely one of the most solid pop records of the year. Chock a block with singer Tracy Tracy's signature sugary-sly vocals and an unbeatable array of adept arrangements provided by guitarist Paul Court, the album is 14 tracks of blissful girl fronted pop restyled both [...]
Photos by G. Various artists. At the Dorien Grey Gallery in New York, they are showcasing an exhibit called "Street Artists Unite" which features works by Army of One, AV ONE, BTA, COPE2, CRASH, ENX, Fumero, Kid Lew, Screwtape, SEE One, Chris Stain, TMNK, and Robots Will Kill and collaborations with Hank O'Neil (also known [...]
Photos by G. Various Artists. A photograph of BEAU's tag over a Mr. Brainwash by Mares. The "Group Graff" show at Dorian Grey Gallery in New York is both interesting and perplexing all at the same time. As an avid lover of street art, it's always great to see works in person by Banksy and Keith Haring. Mixing those legendary names with some relatively unknowns who are allegedly making an impact on the street scene (at least according to the press release), was a [...]
Fans de Savant , préparez-vous pour la mauvaise nouvelle de la journée. Le norvégien Aleksander Vinter a été victime hier d'un crash de disque dur externe et a presque tout perdu. Seulement 16 morceaux du nouvel album prévu pour Juin ont pu être récupérés. Les samples (et de nombreux autres inédits) sont quant à eux perdus à jamais, ce qui signifie que Savant ne peut plus les retoucher. Cependant, ne soyez pas triste, Savant nous le dit lui même : Haha! I can't but laugh [...]
Como ya sabemos, los talentosos Belle and Sebastian fueron los encargados de curar la más reciente edición de LateNightTales . Se dieron a la tarea de compilar una serie de tracks que combina de forma precisa épocas pasadas con la era moderna. Mucho de lo que escuchamos en esta recopilació es extraído de los 60s-70s, por lo que todos los nostálgicos de aquellos ayeres van a quedar encantados (me incluyo). Queda muy claro que estos muchachos tienen un excelente gusto musical, bastante refinado, donde es perceptible una meticulosa selección (aunque esta [...]

Here's a new video from Belle & Sebastian 's Late Night Tales Vol. 2 compilation. It's a lovely little animation that sees the band rendered as cartoon characters as they cover The Primitives 1988 hit single, Crash : Belle & Sebastian 's Late Night Tales Vol. 2 compilation album featuring tunes by, amongst others, [...]
Belle and Sebastian acaba de estrenar su disco recopilatorio de la serie de Late Night Tales , del que os estuvo hablando Jackie hace unos meses. Si recordáis, la intención de esta publicación es mostrar las influencias principales de la banda, tanto desde el punto de vista de grupos como de canciones. Aparte de figurar temas de Toro Y Moi, Gold Panda o Broadcast, se incluye una versión de la canción "Crash" de Primitives que el grupo escocés ha grabado para la ocasión. Además, para darle más notoriedad y atractivo, [...]
Como ya les habíamos platicado , Belle and Sebastian fueron los encargados de curar la nueva edición de LateNightTales . Para promocionar esta compilación Belle and Sebastian estrenó un video. Se trata del cover que esta banda le hizo a “Crash”, tema original de The Primitives. Esta versión de Belle and Sebastian es muy alivianada, alegre y buena onda, por lo que el video le queda perfecto, donde podemos ver a la banda en versión animada, miniatura y [...]
