Throwing the migratory concept of the multi-venue multi-gig idea out of the window, due to a weird combination of the organisers timetable programming and our own summer festival schedule which gives opportunities to see certain artists at numerous events and therefore not necessarily this weekend in London, our whole second day of the Camden Crawl is spent in the bunting dressed Wheelbarrow pub. Camden Crawl ? More like Camden Stationary. As the music and alcohol flows a constant stream [...]

[mp3] Kyla La Grange: "Lambs" Kyla La Grange has been bubbling under the radar in the UK, and her clear talents seem to have gone relatively unnoticed stateside so far. We predict that will change quickly in 2012. On the back of numerous singles (check them over at Neon Gold ) - we get today's video for "Vampire Smile." La Grange blends hints of British folk with Fleetwood Mac harmonies and Lykke Li size pop hooks. There's a lot going on in every song, and all of it is good. We're [...]

Communion nights are always such fun. Gig nights are a dime a dozen, but consistently good ones are far rarer. Communion which as you probably know was now was cofounded by Mumford & Sons Ben Lovett has since its beginnings been at the forefront of the new - or should it be nu? - folk scene that's spread from West London through the rest of the UK. With nights all over the UK, and even in the USA, it's with some confidence that you know the music will be on point every time. This one however differed slightly [...]

'Vampire Smile' is a gothic-pop offering from London based Kyla La Grange with an accompanying video which is a rather beautiful gothic/noir affair. Kyla's voice is captivating and a voice that is, at many points, beyond her 25 years, a voice that on first listen could sound sweet but there is an u... Read more..

Letter B is Beth Jeans Houghton 's latest project... Outside it feels like even a penguin would catch a chill, but inside the Garage the temperature is rising from the early arrivals to HMV's Next Big Thing gig at one of London's best-loved venues.

Special Mention: Rebecca Black - Friday Sure, the song's horrible (in all the best ways), but no other track had a better story behind it than this one. I'd be insane if I didn't at least mention it! 10. LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem So right for all the wrong reasons. If you told me a year ago that I'd be putting an LMFAO song in [...]

I've always secretly admired the solitary dancing fan you occasionally see when guitar acts play live. You know the type: completely lost not just in the music but in their own world, weirding out the rest of the audience by responding to songs with actual bodily movements that are not the ubiquitous Indie Head Nod. For these individuals, watching their heroes on stage is a golden ticket to dance as though no-one's watching. In reality, not only is every other person in the crowd desperately trying to avoid making eye contact, they have the decency to create an [...]
