Today we flash back on another of our favourite labels: SUB POP RECORDS . They're responsible for the careers of a diverse range of bands, from Nirvana to Dum Dum Girls to our very own Husky . And they're celebrating 25 years in the business on July 13. That means that they've been around since 1988. Before that founder Bruce Pavitt started a fanzine called Subterranean Pop about American independent artists and their labels. He started releasing compilations [...]

Young North East band The Tennents from Hull have been showing up on Ralph's Twitter a lot lately with news of a new EP 'Belgium' coming out soonish, so Ralph invited them into the kennel for a chat to check out what they've done already and what's planned for the future. [...]
Oxford band Foal 's show at the Kool Haus on Saturday was as expected, a wild and energetic affair that left the packed crowd abuzzed and rocking. In town to promote their third album - Holy Fire , Foal's tight set had many highlights but lets just take a look at one for now. Yannis Philippakis is the lead vocalist of Foals. Ask any girl who is a fan of the band and they will instantly swoon at the mention of this bearded man, who always seem to be on the verge of chaos during a show. He [...]
Frank Yang 2010 wasn't really that long ago, but apparently it was long enough that I'd just about forgotten about Oxford, England's Stornoway despite their debut Beachcomber's Windowsill making it onto my year-end list , helped along by a stellar local live debut that December at the El Mocambo. Which is not to say that I had forgotten them completely or that I liked them, but by the time their follow-up album Tales From Terra Firma came out in mid-March, they'd [...]

Each weekday at 5pm sharp, one NH7 writer or staffer will bring you five songs he/she is listening to on the day. Debayan Deb is here today to spin his five. 1. Foals - 'Providence' I love British indie rock. Love it even more when the band has mathcore tendencies. 'Inhaler' was the song that got me into the Foals few months back. Ever since then I have been [...]

Como adição de coleccionador a Holy Fire , os Foals lançaram no passado dia 19 de Abril um EP chamado Late Night . Este inclui remixes de Koreless e também de Chad Valley para o tema homónimo, um dos pontos altos do mais recente longa duração. Numa abordagem bem diferente da de Koreless, que transformou "Late Night" numa espécie de versão mais dreamy, Chad Valley sublinha os vocais do refrão e não nos consegue deixar indiferentes. Podem comprar o EP completo aqui . Lembramos [...]
TONY KINGSTON has certainly been keeping himself busy lately. On top of working in a full time job and writing for us, he has started running a monthly event at Ching-a-Lings in Sydney called ABE ENJOYS A SUNDAY SESH . The name is based on the reformed character of Abraham Lincoln, who these days is really into his electronic music and the occasional groove on the dance floor. TONY told us that the purpose of his parties are “to give friends the opportunity [...]
It's hard to put the theatrics aside to focus on the music when the vocalist of the band you just saw jumped off a second floor venue balcony onto the stage without missing a beat. Even if the show was awful (which it wasn't), I would've left thinking "How did his legs not break?" Thankfully, Foals are one of the most captivating live bands, whose physical bravado and tibia strength are matched by the force of their music in a live setting. At a sold out Terminal 5, the crowd funneled into every available nook as [...]

Not many bands out there are doing what Foals do. Mixing elements of math-rock that makes you rock out and dance simultaneously, as well as creating blissful moments of sincere beauty that will stop you dead in your tracks. They put all of this on full display with relative ease. Many people who were in attendance on Friday night are calling it one of the best shows of 2013 - if not the best. I can't really argue with that. Blondfire opened things with a poppy set that was [...]
