This is our third preview post on Brighton's Great Escape 2012 which takes place between 10th-12th May. Today we turn our attention towards Saturday's activities and three further recommendations for bands to see. With the likes of We Are Scientists, Africa Express Sound System and Madeon occupying some of the bigger venues, there's also plenty of interest at the smaller shows, particularly during the day. Of particular note is the recent addition of ex X-Factor star Aiden Grimshaw on Saturday. It [...]
It is amazing what you can find simply by using Google – and how quickly things can get confusing. For example, while trying to find the Newcastle indie rock band Shields , who I recently saw open for Dispatch , I encountered many other bands of the same name. This was including but not limited to a "medieval power rock troupe", a duo on a reality show, and a folk band I believe to be from the 70's. However, I am glad I persisted in my quest because Shields – [...]
This is the song currently stuck in my head. "All I Know" by Newcastle, UK band Shields , take a listen. The song is the 2nd single from the band (out on Euphonios Records) following the track "White Knuckle Tight Grip". The track is available as a Limited Edition 7" Vinyl or a Digital Download and features a brand new B-side called 'Brakes'. Below is the band performing "All I Know" live for a session at Blank Studios.
Can someone please take us to the north east of England? For it seems to this south coast based music blog that Newcastle and its environs possess a thriving music scene that continues to push out band after band that consistently hit the mark. Last year two of our top 5 albums were from Northumbrian bands – The Unthanks (our no.1) and Lanterns On The Lake (our no.5) and this corner of the internet has found us gushing in adoration about the likes of Let's Buy Happiness and Polarsets quite regularly.

We'd already been all about those darn kids in Shields a bit ago with the "White Knuckle...
Owl Mag writer, Jennifer, didn't discriminate against music in high school. She saw value in every genre and that makes for a high school playlist that is really all over the place.

Smokey landed in hollywood and immediately began taking on enemy fire from hungry skeletons. In need of Shields, a beautiful woman with a soft spot in her heart for superfuture art called her friend Tyler. 13 seconds later Tyler pulled up with madness in his eyes and began to shoot. Much love to the lovely woman and Tyler Shields for riding in the Smokey war. – Smokey Robotic
Photo by Tyler Shields What happens when you put Smokey Robotic and Tyler Shields in a room together? Well, something like this. I wonder who the beautiful woman walking around the room is.. Hmmm...

Chris Paul The Canadian electronica/jam band The New Deal are calling it a day. After 12 years, the three-piece—featuring Dan Kurtz on bass, Darren Shearer on drums/beatbox, and keyboardist Jamie Shields—is on its final tour; one of the stops along the way is in Philly tonight at the Electric Factory . Known for its extended improvisation, the band built a significant following amongst the jam band and electronica music scenes over the years. We e-mailed Shields, who was kind enough to discuss the band's final tour. The Key: Why [...]
This is just a beautiful tune with fantastic melodies and lyrics. It's sad, thought-provoking but catchy song which stays with me long after I hear it. Robyn from Belfast has been long on my radar but I never got a chance to fully get into his music. Check him out for yourself: http://www.myspace.com/rgshiel s http://robyngshiels.bandcamp.c om/album/the-great-depression

Enjoy these exclusive world premieres from Baltimore Highlands while you read this review! MP3: Height With Friends - Baltimore Highlands MP3: Height With Friends - Code of Love I would hardly consider myself expert or even well-versed in hip-hop or rap, but I know that the vast majority of what goes on in those circles today is distasteful to me. I am weary of the over-the-top chest-puffing machismo and misogyny, [...]
The final season of FX's ' The Shield ' is one of the most exciting dramas I've seen in recent years. Creator Shawn Ryan and his writers have truly outdone themselves; they've created the grittiest cop show that has ever been made. They couldn't have done it without the suburb acting of Michael Chiklis . His role as the corrupt LAPD detective Vic Mackey, solidifies his place among the best characters in television history. Mike Cooley Of The Drive-By Truckers @ 2008 [...]
I haven't watched a single episode of the final season of FX's sterling cop drama The Shield. It's not streaming and until it does or comes out on DVD I'm resisting any and all attempts to find out how Det. Vic Mackey's life is going to end. Because it will end or he will get his comeuppance. Still, I finally cracked and read this excellent article in Salon about the final few episodes. Sounds like I'll be in for a treat when I get around to seeing how my favorite corrupt cop goes out. "As we pull into [...]
Tomorrow night, the great FX cop drama The Shield begins its final bow at 10 p.m. In Season 7 we'll hopefully find out the fate of Det. Vic Mackey and if all his bad deeds catch up to him. Even if you don't know the difference between the Biz-Lats, Farmington, The Strike Team, One-Niners or the Armenian Money Train, FX has put together the mother of all promo videos. It's a great recap for those that have never watched the show and for those that have been watching from day one. Television cop dramas, [...]
