Steve Gullick So good times, my laptop died last night after 3.5 years of service due to a failed hard drive. I had planned on replacing it this year anyways, but hoped to squeeze a little more out of it - like a week. Fittingly, it died just as I was looking at the new upgraded Macbook Pros on the Apple site so... yeah. Anyways. Just some stuff from the old world to clear out before the weekend, so... Beady Eye . Their debut Different Gear, [...]

On the eve of recording this first full-length album, Norweigan band the Megaphonic Thrift lost all of their instruments in a fire. I’m not sure how most other rock bands would have reacted; maybe they’d go into a drunken blackout for a month, run off to sea to become sailors, purchase new equipment [...]

Magne Sandnes Originality is an important trait, no question about that, but sometimes slavish imitation can be alright too, particularly when it explores a sound or style that's not already been strip-mined to death and is done well. And so it is that Norway's Megaphonic Thrift get a pass for their debut album Decay Decoy , released in Norway last Spring and due out in North America on March 8. When I saw the band at SxSW 2010 , their '90s alt.guitar rock influences, in particular [...]

SXSW is still in flux for me, but rest assured, if there was one act I'd crawl through taco grease and bar sludge to see, it's T he Megaphonic Thrift . We've posted a lead track from the band's upcoming March release, Decay Decoy already, but they've "officially" released the first single for the record as of this morning. We've put our ears to this album, and we're 100 percent amped about its release. The quietly crowned 'best show at SXSW 2010' has a got a grab bag full of bombastic [...]

A good live show can lift you out of a funk, make you look around and realize there is no where else on earth you'd rather be, make the hairs on your arms stand on end, remind you that there is still magic in the music being made today. These are the eight shows from 2010 that achieved all the above and then some. Octopus Project @ SXSW + KFN [...]

For me Summer Sundae festival was a somewhat gruelling experience at times – the weather was very much against us until the final day and, exhaustion compounding illness, your correspondent briefly blacked out on the train home. After a couple of days to recover, though, it is the quality of the performances at this generally expertly-run medium-sized festival which stay in the mind. It's easy to see that Sundae deserves to have reached its proud tenth anniversary with this year's event; its trump card of being based in and around Leicester's DeMontfort Hall lends it a professionalism and [...]

We're still a few days from it actually being Summer but that is good, as we've got a whole season to look forward to: the oppressive heat and humidity, the crushing disappoinment of everything Hollywood has to offer except for Inception, and gallons and gallons more oil into the Gulf. Good times! On the plus side, this week's cover was done by famed street artist King of the Streets, who is probably the hottest name this side of Mr. Brainwash. As you may remember he's also a staunch environmentalist, so all graffiti takes place via MS Paint. You can [...]

I was going to cover my trip down to Austin, Texas for this years SxSW in a single post, but quickly realized it would be way too long. This is easily the most live music I had ever packed into three and half days. While I got to see everything that I put on my short list, there were literally four to five bands playing at any one time I would have liked to have seen. This was my first ever time at SxSW. I had some rules I wanted to follow: keep the number of garage [...]
