The Twilight Sad It really feel likes ages since we last heard anything from Kilsyth's finest, fear not though as they are set to release their third full-length album, ' No One Can Ever Know ', 'Kill It In The Morning' in February next year. As a taster of what to expect they've made new song 'Kill It In The Morning' free to download from the band's website alongside a wee trailer. Personally I think if this is the direction that the new album is going to take then it's quite a bold step, there's still a lot [...]
![Download: Luke Leighfield + Jose Vanders - Blindsided [Bon Iver Cover]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3719294_lg.jpg)
Words: Saam Das The words "free download" and "single" put together in one sentence never fail to confuse me. It's one or the other surely? I'll stick with the former. Especially when it's such a wondrous free download. You might remember Jose Vanders from blog days gone by and she's teamed up with Luke Leighfield to deliver a very special cover of Bon Iver 's 'Blindsided'. Download below. The duo are putting out a [...]

Luke Leighfield and Jose Vanders Split EP, Single and Co-Headline Tour - September 2011 September 19th sees two of the UK's most exciting young artists, Luke Leighfield and Jose Vanders, combine forces with a split EP, single and co-headline tour. The two piano-toting popsters have serious accolades between them: Leighfield has released three albums over the past five years, recorded sessions for Radio 1 and Xfm, had a single in the top five of the UK indie singles chart, played 600 gigs in twelve countries (including tours of Russia and China), released [...]
Both Sides on Side One: Track One Be sure to head on over to to Side One: Track One as I put in my word as a guest writer this summer! Featured on SOTO: Jose Vanders [ Official Site ] "So apparently at some point, this particular artist was vouched for and posted on by Perez Hilton. YES, I'm essentially piggybacking Perez Hilton's find, and piggybacking, Lord knows, is [...]
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 So apparently at some point, this particular artist was vouched for and posted on by Perez Hilton. YES, I'm essentially piggybacking Perez Hilton's find, and piggybacking, Lord knows, is the last thing I want to do regarding Perez. I'm not really sure how I feel about all that, but at the end of the day, that's just how much I like this songwriter - not even the gossip-mongering mouth of Perez can keep me away. This bright-eyed, curly-haired [...]
The online music publication QRO Magazine recently asked me to curate a mix of indie pop songs in the "Knox Road" mold for their "Thank You For Being A Friend Giveaway" . Essentially, we teamed up with 3 other super blogs - Cream Team , No Modest Bear , and Anti-Gravity Bunny - to make four respective mixes as one of the prize packs for participants. Originally, the giveaway was going to be exclusive to QRO, but they've given us the go ahead to provide you with our mix. Regular readers [...]
Due to some busy times in the current music world and our lives, we've somehow neglected mixes lately here on Knox Road, and we apologize. You, the readers, (well, those who actually take the time to talk to us - thank you!) have spoken. You miss the mix. So I will get them up and going again along with the normal stream of posts. The theme of this mix? As per usual, songs that I enjoy. (P.S. this will have no effect on iTunes Mixeries , which will continue to be sporadically posted. But I get more control with [...]
Puppets - Jose Vanders The puzzlingly named Jose Vanders (as in, she's a she) is embedded firmly in the grand tradition of waif-voiced folksy women playing sweet songs about love and life and growing up. Think of a young Regina Spektor with a bit of the Kate Nash snark. I realize that for some people that might not sound like an endorsement - in which case you're probably better off just passing through. But for those who like a little bit of sweetness in their lives, give this one a listen. [...]
Given my total absence from this blog over the past three weeks, I don't suppose it'll be any surprise to hear that I didn't have time to contribute to this month's MAP either. So for the second month in a row, my England contribution comes ghostwritten by MAP organiser Jason ...

Ha llegado un nuevo volumen del mix-tape global , 35 países, 35 blogs y 35 canciones, el radar más grande de la mejor de 35 países. Mi historia con Rafo De La Cuba empezó con una recomendación, una que quizá tardé en asimilar, ya que lo que se encuentra en la red sobre este genial compositor es algo escaso, aunque no difícil de encontrar cuando sientes que luego de escuchar algunos samples en su MySpace el vicio es inevitable. No hay estilo definido en su música, es simplemente el tocar por gusto, sin [...]
This month's whothehell.net's entry for the MAP has been selected by Matt Hickey ARGENTINA : Zonaindie Eloisa Lopez - Espiral This is one of Zonaindie's favorite tracks from 2009. It was taken from Eloisa's third album, Por Un Paisaje. Maybe we like her so much because she manages to elegantly combine acoustic textures with native South American percussions and digital sounds. Espiral is a great [...]
ARGENTINA : Zonaindie Eloisa Lopez - Espiral This is one of Zonaindie's favorite tracks from 2009. It was taken from Eloisa's third album, Por Un Paisaje. Maybe we like her so much because she manages to elegantly combine acoustic textures with native South American percussions and digital sounds. Espiral is a great example of this, and yet an unbelievably catchy tune that has Leo García as a guest vocalist. What else could you [...]
Once more, here is this first MAP of the new decade, January's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. After the jump you'll find music from 35 nations spanning the globe. If you'd like to be considered for this feature, drop by the comments section with a [...]
The Music Alliance Pact is a collective of 35 of the world's top music blogs and webzines from 35 countries spanning six continents. Every month, each of these 35 sites picks one hot local song that gets posted on all these great blogs and zines.

The song is featured on Stupid Stupid Stupid and is a pretty good measure of the work of one of our [...]

All presentations are put together in this huge blogpost, and presented on the same day in all the MAP blogs. Massive promotion for the bands! Today, MAP is presented with an interview in the UK newspaper the Guardian. It should be online on their website today. My favourites this time includes Norway (of course), Argentina, Australia (wonderful [...]
