If you missed the first part of Gunning For Tamar's Euro tour diary last week, click here . If you're up to speed, then here's the second and final part... City Light Thief are badass. I've been listening to them for a while now and it was ace to see them live finally, I really hope they don't stay as Germany's little secret for much longer. Our girlfriends have heard a lot about how great touring in Europe is [...]
The marvelous Gunning For Tamar are currently hot-footing it around mainland Europe for a bunch of shows before they head back to UK shores and finish up their tour at this years Great Escape festival. Life on the road always offers up good stories, weird places and interesting characters so we asked the guys to keep a little diary for us. Check out the first part of it below...

One of my thingies is not to read up on bands before I listen to them. I think it makes for better listening when you don't know anything about them and your head is clear of pigeon holing and stereotypes to enjoy the music. When I sat down and listened to the neat 4 track [...]
Yes, that is an actual wristwatch. Mine turned up this morning, and I'm wearing it as I type this. It's bright orange, so it stands out - Gunning for Tamar don't just think outside the box when it comes to their music, after all. The band decided to release their second EP on a limited-edition physical format of some sort (Alcopop! seem to have a thing for stuff like this, has anyone else noticed that?!), an with an EP title like Time Trophies , it made sense for it to be an actual watch. You could say that the [...]
1. Daughter - The Wild Youth // Reviewed 9th December by Jon Sidwell "Elena and Igor have an ear to create space within their music, moments where their instruments can breath and the listener can fully appreciate the beauty that is being played out before them. The poignant combination of Elena's lingering vocals and the delicate acoustic/electric guitars demonstrate how simplicity in music is something to be applauded." || Daughter [...]

Having formed just over a year ago, Gunning For Tamar are a very young band – which is very, very surprising considering just how tight and accomplished the four members sound together. This Oxford quartet play the type of melodic post-hardcore that too many upstarts try and smash out – this is the kind of music anyone who listened to Thursday in their heyday, and Hopesfall before their demise, decide (or desire) to play. But whereas the guitars and melodies of most other bands trying to emulate their post-rock/hardcore heroes fail to stir any [...]
Blue Walrus favourites Spring Offensive have upped their game again on A Stutter and a Start , their latest self-release. The dark, brooding, jerky indie of the title track has been matched with the video below, watching the breakdown of a man's relationship through phone messages, into the drunken despair of the end. B-side The Well follows this with a sparse, softer sound, soothing and delicate before layering on top of a thumping rhythm to take the song in a different direction. Throw in a distorted, chaotic, and forceful [...]
Some more half decent, decent, and downright entertaining videos for you to check out. The Agitator's new single Say NO! is a politically charged call to arms set against an equally radical new musical style. Not a guitar in sight, just front man Derek Meins' force-of-nature voice accompanied by Robert Dylan Thomas and T-Train on thunderous double drums. Pared down and primal! a Bergen, Norway-based four-piece The Megaphonic Thrift have released a brand [...]
