There’s quite a few pop tracks being unleashed on the world this week, but only one that we’re interested in spending any money on. In fact, we already have. In the interests of fairness, we’re obliged to tell you about the others too, just in case your taste isn’t as refined as ours. Remember X Factor girl group Belle Amie? Named after a porn site? Yes, now we’re jogging your memory… Well, they’re a member down since their stint on the show, but they now have a single called ‘Girls Up’ , which has a really good [...]
Here's a couple of faces I haven't featured on the blog before. The Pierces are a New York band made up of 30-something sisters Catherine and Allison Pierce. Raised by creative, self-confessed hippie parents in Alabama, the Pierce girls spent their younger years listening to Simon & Garfunkel and Joni Mitchell , as well as performing at weddings, parties and church events in their hometown. While in college, they sent a demo tape to a record company in Nashville, which resulted in the release of their debut [...]
Las hermanas Catherine y Allison Pierce presentaron el video de su nuevo single It Will Not Be Forgotten , el cual será lanzado el próximo 8 de agosto. El video -que comienza con un gran telón rojo- presenta a unas delicadamente vestidas Pierce recorriendo un bosque en un día nublado; pero que luego se transforma en un lugar iluminado, soleado y con flores. The Pierces se presentará en el iTunes [...]
Queens of the NYLON-brand of indie pop and Stevie Nicks send-ups, Allison and Catherine aka The Pierces are back with a fantasy-ridden video for the single "It Will Not Be Forgotten", with fields aplenty, with glow effects and the beautiful pair in frame every shot along the way. "It Will Not Be Forgotten" is out... Read More

Following on the heels of her "country-fried" debut single, " Of My Own ," Liverpudlian Delta Blues singer/songwriter Delta Maid is back with a followup (and EQUALLY AMAZING ) single called " Spend A Little Time ." The single, due out July 10th on Geffen / Future Records , is a "perky dose of down to earth country" and a worthy follow up to her snappy debut. The "Nashville friendly, blues inspired" song sees Delta rejecting [...]
The Pierces performing Glorious on Loose Women from their album, " You and I " out now
Alice Gold seems every bit the modern pop star, washed clean of all the sugar coating that permeated through most other pretty-faced, female solo pop artists of the last billion decades. Like a lot of the pop predecessors who have punted out this type of chart-ready music she is styled and preened and looks like she has a bunch of 'edgy' looking session artists placed behind her in her videos, whom we imagine she only met that day, but in place of the dance moves and electronic pop we find her hitting guitar strings and playing distorted tunes with [...]
How much can happen in the first minute of a pop song ? Sometimes, barely anything; sometimes more than a conscious mind can fully compute. To ears that have yet to hear the music of Allison and Catherine Pierce, the first minute of You & I is a journey in itself. A minor-key strum and faintly ominous keyboards subtly draw in the listener, until a lone voice urges escape. “We could bring a blanket for the grass,” goes the first line. Are you coming or not? Then, at 39 seconds, comes a harmony of such irresistible magnetism [...]

I was first introduced to The Pierces by a co-worker of mine a couple of years back. Admittedly I wasn't in a place at that time to really get into them but I think I've mellowed out since then. The Alabama-born, New York-based sister act ( Allison and Catherine Pierce ), to date, has released three full length albums and two EPs. You & I , the duo's upcoming fourth studio album is scheduled for UK release on May [...]
We meant to post about The Pierces a while ago, and were reminded when we received this new video for their track Glorious - a gothic glam pop-stomper according to Q. a It comes from new album You & I and you can stream a taste of their dark forces below from their Love You More EP. a Visit their MySpace here [...]

Oh Land is a cracking new experimental electro pop act that peels influences from Björk, The Pierces and a touch of Alex Winston to boot. 'Sun of a Gun' is the most probably the most pop focused of her outputs with a catchy chorus and theatrical production that has become almost a staple to female [...]
Mark Seliger takes glossy photos for Rolling Stone and GQ of celebrities and has honed a knack for picking up strong personality with stark, simple photos of Kurt Cobain and Jay-Z. In his latest book Listen, he focuses on people lesser known but just as textured. These photos of pierced people show body jewelry as [...]
The Pierces are a set of songwriting sisters that have been singing together since they were first able to speak. After ten years of music making and several record releases, they almost gave up. Then they got a call from Coldplay's camp that reignited their faith and offered them a place to record new music, which is where they created Love You More, including Today's Top Tune, "We Are Stars."
