If you've made like Heart2Heart and made your new relationship "Facebook Official" , chances are you picked a song or two to help mark the happy occasion. And the same holds true to those who have had to endure the public embarrassment of going from "In A Relationship" to "Single" on the social networking site. For Valentine's Day, Facebook revealed the Top 10 songs their users played on Spotify as they entered and/or exited a relationship, and the results indicate that people are really strange when it comes to finding music that fits their mood. See what we mean [...]
I know I am a little late on this, but here are the albums that I am looking forward to hearing the most. Please understand this is not my guess at what will be the best albums of 2012, or my attempt at finding the pulse of what the general public is most excited about. These the 12 albums that I am personally the most excited about. Also know that I have excluded several albums that have already been released that surely would have made this list, had I done a month ago, including the new ones by [...]
We've shared our 2012 Grammy picks for Best New Artist , Song Of The Year and who we think will take all the Pop and Dance categories — now let's take a look at who's up for Record Of The Year. The nominees in this category are basically a mirror image of Song Of The Year, with Kanye West's "All Of The Lights" swapped with Katy Perry's mega-hit "Firework." Can Perry make the Recording Academy go ahh-ahh-ahh and triumph, or is the unstoppable force of Adele too big to beat? Head below for [...]
We've shared our 2012 Grammy predictions for Best New Artist and all the Pop categories , and today it's time to move on to one of the big ones - Song Of The Year. Last year, Lady Antebellum won this category (as well as Record Of The Year) for "Need You Now". Is Adele destined to land the same one-two punch with "Rolling In The Deep"? Or will one of the other nominees score an upset? Hop below for our thoughts — and let your voice be heard in our Grammy poll! [...]
Today, Mumford & Sons revealed the trailer for their upcoming tour documentary Big Easy Express , which contains footage from the band's 2011 Railroad Revival Tour in the U.S. alongside Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show . The tour saw the three bands living, eating, sleeping and recording onboard 15 vintage railcars, and the documentary is set to premiere at this year's SXSW Film Festival. You can watch the trailer for Big Easy Express above. Mumford & Sons are currently working on the follow-up to [...]

They've managed to get Scotland's very own Biffy Clyro to headline along with Deadmau5 and folk heroes Mumford & Sons . As well as the headliners a few others have been announced. Azealia Banks, Ed Sheeran, Justice, Metronomy and TEED also make up some of the bill. See above for everyone announced so far.

Según The Official Charts Company , Coldplay , Florence + The Machine y Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds fueron las bandas que más discos vendieron el año pasado. Muy cerca quedaron Foo Fighters y Mumford & Sons . La banda de Chris Martin lideró además los charts de singles más vendidos con Paradise [...]
Marcus Mumford , frontman de Mumford & Sons se comprometió en agosto del 2011 con la actriz Carey Mulligan . Luego de varios meses, establecieron la fecha de su boda en abril de este año. Esta historia de amor comenzó, en realidad, hace muchos años. La actriz y el cantante solían escribirse cartas cuando eran niños. Ambos fueron pen pals mientras vivían en Londres. Diez años más tarde, recobraron el contacto y no pudieron más que enamorarse. La pareja comenzó a tener una [...]
This week's edition of Monday Threesome focuses on Bluegrass and Folk, two very popular touchstones for the alternative and indie-rock community. Listeners have continuously responded to the genres' powerful arrangements, emotionally direct lyrics and reedy, strong and memorable lead vocals. The three bands below all work this lovely combination of heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics, folk/bluegrass instrumentation and emotional purging. Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons // Buy These scratchy-voiced, banjo-loving boys from England quietly exploded in 2010, and by February of 2011 (almost a year [...]
Following the success of Fleet Foxes' debut self titled album interest in their follow up was understandably high. Cougar writer Jazmin added them to her year end list adding: "Fleet Foxes embody everything about why I love indie-folk- consistently brilliant albums, and consistently wonderful live shows, both of which combine simple musical elements to make [...]
If the phenomenal success of Mumford & Sons has proved anything it's that here in the UK acoustic guitars are very much back on the menu. Isolated and shunned for years due to the wave of weepy singer-songwriters that came in the noughties, the kings of the London nu-folk scene were at the spearhead of a group of artists that - to a younger generation of music fan at least - wrestled the acoustic back from David Gray, James Blunt, James Morrison and the like. London quintet Dry The River could go even further in the giving the [...]
The last few years have certainly had its fair share of emotional ups and downs for Simone Felice . In 2009, the singer-songwriter parted ways with The Felice Brothers, revealing the heart-tugging reasons for the break with a public open letter to his fans. Then in 2010, Felice underwent open heart surgery. All this hasn't slowed Simone down, as he has continued to write (both music and prose), record and tour, and come 2012 he will release his self-titled debut album via Conor Oberst's Team Love label. The largely self-produced, ten-track record, which will hit stores on [...]
In the spirit of the winter season, whether your celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa or any other holiday I may have forgotten about, chances are that over the past month you've heard your fair share of traditional Christmas music. While some people might eat that stuff up as they prepare for the holidays, we here at the TBT find it hard to cope with sometimes in the wake of all good music holiday alternatives that do exist, but seem to go unnoticed in mainstream media. That being said, it is my honor to bring you our [...]
Paul Rains One of the criteria - really, the main one - for my year-end list was basically, "how many times did I listen to this record?". Which I think is reasonable. If we were to take out the "must have been released in 20113 stipulation, however, the list would have been rather different - at least to the extent that Allo Darlin's 2010 self-titled debut would have surely made the list. And if I'd assembled a supplementary list of favourite 73 singles of the year, their "Darren"/"Wu-Tang [...]
For those of you that were hoping to stream The Black Keys new album El Camino via sites such as Spotify, MOG, Rdio and the like, may have been taken by surprise when the blues-rock act's record was nowhere to found. Well, it turns out that Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney had a very legit reason for not allowing it to be streamed, as Carney gave this explanation to VH1 - "We decided for this album to not allow music services to stream the entire album, because it's becoming more popular, but [...]
La cantautora británica Laura Marling recordó con cierta tristeza su participación en las bandas Noah and the Whale y Mumford & Sons , en conversación con Spinner . "No nos juntamos a tocar más. Somos de la misma parte chiquita de Londres. Nos encontramos todo el tiempo, pero los días sin preocupaciones terminaron" , dijo la inglesa de 21 años, con algo de nostalgia. Cuando Marling dejó el [...]
