There's something unnerving about turning up to day two of any festival showered, with clean pants on and without the obligatory dried coating of mud. It lacks a sense of escapism, but such is the nature of the modern urban festival scene. Camden Crawl 2012 has so far proved itself to be far removed from these trappings and with today's line up holding just as much promise as Saturday's, alongside the odd wild card, it's time to knock back the last of the Alka-seltzer and hop on the Northern Line for 13 more hours of sound, kicking off [...]

Live at Leeds ( facebook / twitter ) is set to take over the city on the first weekend of May for its sixth instalment with hundreds of acts playing across some of the city's best venues including The Brudenell Social Club, Nation of Shopkeepers and this year's new addition The Wardrobe. It's one of my favourite day festivals in the UK and, for 2012, has put together a fantastic line-up - from King Charles opening proceedings on Friday at The Cockpit to Male Bonding and Young Magic on closing night.

If you've been an avid follower of Crack In The Road over the past few years, then you will have notice that I have something of a penchant for indie-pop outfit Dog is Dead . I first saw the band play at Dot to Dot Festival way back in 2010, and it really has been a staggering experience watching the band go from strength to strength in the development of their sound, and their confidence in themselves. In fact a lot of the core characteristics of the band, which impressed me so greatly during their [...]
Two Devils é o mais novo single do grupo britânico Dog Is Dead . Lançada através do selo Atlantic Records , a banda liberou também o clipe oficial da faixa, que saiu a poucos dias atrás, e dá também nome ao seu segundo EP, já liberado para compra no Itunes. A canção segue a mesma linhagem que a banda está acostumada, só que de forma um pouco mais intimista e reflexiva, abusando mais dos graves, sem esquecer dos coros, que são a característica marcante do Dog Is Dead . A filmagem do clipe foi feita numa cenário [...]

A name like Dog Is Dead certainly sticks in your head and gets you thinking, but shouldn't be shunned away or misinterpreted; they're a group of humble background and intentions, playing the catchy-but-clever indie they do because they love it. They don't shout about it or try to captivate an audience with an over-the-top live performance, but simply put everything they have into sounding fantastic. Read more..

Evolution Festival , held between Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, has, appropriately enough, evolved considerably since it was first held as a free, 1-day event in 2005. Now in its eighth year, the event boasts a 2-day, two-stage line-up, held in the stunning location of the Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides. The event is no longer free, but at a mere £35 for the weekend, it represents fantastic, inflation-busting value. This year the event is held over the Sunday and Monday of the June Bank Holiday weekend 3-4 June: there surely can be no finer [...]

Débruit - Nigeria What? Ooh la la! C'est Débruit (that's french for 'Oh my, it's Débruit). Why am I speaking French, I hear you...think (yes, I'm inside your head now. It's warm)? Well, it's just me showing off my flair for his native tongue. Nigeria What? features some happy beats with tasty sampling, such as soukous guitar riffs akin to that Paul Simon track , where you can call him 'Al'. I'm alright Paul, I'll call you Paul. Summer Heart - I miss you ( mp3 ) [...]
