There are many things it is hard to wrap your mind around when it comes to The Stranglers. The first is, formed in 1974, the band will celebrate their 40th anniversary next year. Of course, that toast will only be drank by 3 of the original members – JJ Burnel, Jet Black and Dave Greenfield (who joined in ’75), the 4th in on the toast will be the “new guy” one time Toy Doll, vocalist/guitarist Baz Warne, who has only been with the gang for 13 years now. Though some old fans may still [...]

Punk/hardcore band from Essex, Giants have revealed a new music video for their song "Won't Be Told" which has been released ahead of their headline tour dates for April and June; along with a main support slot with legendary US punks H2O throughout July. You can view the video here: The track is available for free download at this link. Born out of a shared all-or-nothing approach to life and an obsession with skateboarding bordering on the unhealthy, the quintet have carved out [...]
Patrick Watson has spent some time writing very successful albums, he's spent some time touring with Andrew Bird, and he's spent some time co-writing for The Cinematic Orchestra - he's a talented guy. Last year we saw the release of Adventures in Your Own Backyard , a definite sleeper album for me. It comes only every once and a while, but it is an album that demands to be listened to in totality. "Intro Giants" is a track that always strikes me though - and if I ever got to soundtrack a movie, it would find its [...]
They Might Be Giants have perfected their deliriously catchy, original sound over the past three decades. The two-time GRAMMY winning Brooklyn originals have just released a 3-song taster EP of Nanobots tracks, ahead of the full album. Blending the band's signature storytelling, duelling horns and sly humour it also features cover art by famed designer Paul Sahre . Nanobots was created at the private studio of their long time collaborator and producer Patrick Dillett (David Byrne, Mary [...]
Stream: Blondfire - “Waking With Giants (CSS remix)”
Santa Barbara's Trevor Borden may have released his first EP ( Giants) just a few days ago, but music is hardly something new to him. Growing up abroad, first in Portugal and then Tanzania, Borden has always been comfortable expressing himself musically. Giants oozes a humble confidence, like the kind earned after a long solo journey. The intimate relationship he has with his music is audible, though it's hard to escape the thought that he's holding back on most of Giants' tracks. Tracks like "The Light" and "Giants" are dying to be played around [...]
New York New York - Frank Sinatra So I land. Collect my bag. Walk out the airport doors. Cross the zebra crossing. And hear a guy stuck in traffic shouting at me out of his mini van window. "Welcome to New York, you're going to rock it in this city, am I right?!" Before I [...]

With modern cameras capable of capturing colors we don’t even have names for, the decision to shoot in black-and-white is not a decision to be made lightly. In his video for the David Byrne/St. Vincent collaborative song “Who,” director Martin de Thurah not only uses black-and-white to establish a sense of Twilight Zone -esque otherworldliness but he also utilizes his limited color palette to reemphasize the importance of both artists in the creation of the song. The video begins with a dapper David Byrne cautiously getting out of his car to inspect an unresponsive Annie Clark who happens [...]

Director: Bouli Lanners Cast: Zacharie Chasseriaud, Martin Nissen, Paul Bartel Certificate: TBD Running Time: 86 min Release: 13 July While not much happens in The Giants , three brilliant performances and some wonderful cinematography make for a film that's more than worth 86 minutes of your time. Zak and Seth (Chasseriaud and Nissen) have been left alone by their mother for the summer in their grandfather's old house. With a small amount of money and no restraint on their freedom, they do what anyone in their situation would; whatever the hell [...]
It's been a long road for Bravestation . It's kind of been a long road for me, too. I've been a big fan of the band since their first EP released back in July of 2010. Now, the day has finally come! Bravestation's debut album, Giants & Dreamers is finally available for the world to hear, and it is definitely worth the wait. I'm not going to be straightforward and say that Giants & Dreamers is a full blown concept album, but there is an obvious underlying theme here. Throughout your listening experience of Bravestation's fantastically warm, tropical, tribal, [...]
Once upon a time, this guy in the UK e-mailed about some Canadian band with a simple name. That band was Bravestation. As I do with submissions, I did my best to take a second to check them out. Fast forward two years, and I'm still keeping tabs on Bravestation's progression. Why? Well, while you can pick out their influences (e.g. Foals, Wild Beasts, etc.), they're one of the few acts I've had the pleasure of covering who are trying to distinguish themselves, always pushing forward to a new direction. And what's more impressive, they've managed to maintain their identity [...]
I’m still a strong believer that guitar music is alive and kicking in the music industry despite what some contemporaries may have you believe. One such band keeping the dream alive is The Jungle Giants from Australia, with their new track She’s A Riot . Cast your mind back a few years and this is the kind of thing that would’ve been everywhere however, despite that fact, I still think it has a place today. This is a great catchy song with a simple enough structure but it’s executed in a way that will make [...]

Shoot forward to the present and experience the electric surfie rock that is the Stillwater Giants. With their driving rock and roll characterised by the brotherhood [...]
Tom Schnabel I'm a big fan of the late Herman Leonard. He took such great pictures both here and in Europe, spanning a career that lasted 70 years, from 1939 until his death in 2010. In his wonderful autobiographical book J azz, Giants, and Journeys , he chronicles his fascinating life journey : from discovering nude pictures his older brother took of his wife, which sparked his interest in taking pictures, to going to Palestine in the 19302s with his mother, who was part of the Hadassah organization. He also [...]
