Words: Saam Das We've been busybusy over September, as you can see from our numerous reviews over the past month , but I've (eventually) found the time to collect my top ten singles of the month. If you know who the duo below are then you win a prize for guessing single of the month. Otherwise, read on for more singles that you can shake a stick at. Whatever that means. Summer Camp [...]
The Beacons Festival had to be cancelled at the weekend due to flash floods that made "the site and surrounding area extremely dangerous in a very short space of time". The team behind the festival have released information about what happened and about obtaining refunds in an official statement: Read more..
The Broken Family Band is one of those bands that occupies a happy place in the heart of many an indie fan. Unfortunately, the band felt they had reached their artistic limit last year and the outfit was put to bed. The smart money was on frontman Steven Adams being the first to return to the fray and that bet has come in with his latest outfit, Singing Adams . Adams has assembled an impressive collective of accomplished British indie musicians - Matt Ashton (Saloon and The Leaf Library) takes guitar, Michael Wood (Michaelmas) is on bass, and Melinda [...]
This week Polly Pocket introduced us to Singing Adams by way of this video for their majestic new single Bird On The Wing . It is released on the 28th March and precedes their album Everybody Friends which comes out a week later on the 4th April. Lead singer Steven Adams used to ply his trade with the rather good Broken Family Band , and while elements of that sound still echo a little, this is fuller and more expansive, and definitely rockier. Watch and enjoy, they're one to keep [...]
The song list this year has a lot of crossover with the records list from yesterday. I suppose that is to be expected to a certain degree, but I get it's a little repetitive for me to be banging on about the same bands over and over again. Still, that's the nature of these lists, and I'm not going to throw in other things for the sake of it. 1. Los Campesinos! - A Heat Rash in the Shape of the Show Me State, or, Letters from Me to Charlotte [...]
eine debutsingle gilt es heute zu feiern. der 06. dezember steht für die ersten töne eines neuen albums wiederum einer band, die sich singing adams getauft hat und vom broken family band menschen steven adams gegründet wurde. an seiner seite tauchen melinda bronstein, die u.a. auch mit absentee und wet paint in verbindung gebracht wird, matt ashton und michael wood auf. einen hallo-wach-effekt werden all jene bei diesem bandnamen haben, die steven adams auch mit dem projekt the singing adams in verbindung bringen wollen. und sie haben recht, in 2007 brachte er mit "problems" ein sehr gutes album [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. I came late to The Broken Family Band party, so I'm jumping in early with Singing Adams , the new band of BFB front man Steven Adams. If you're already familiar with his former band, you know what to expect here. The alt-country leanings may have been toned down considerably, but there's more than enough of the same catchy pop sensibilities and witty lyrics to go around. As a debut single, I Need Your Mind is remarkably self-assured and firmly cements the [...]
Can it really be almost a whole year ago since we reported that ex-Lift To Experience legend Josh T Pearson was to make a rare appearance at the much loved End Of The Road Festival's Christmas party? Where the year has disappeared to is anyone's guess, but the time has come once more for Christmas celebrations and with that the annual announcement of End Of The Road's festive shenanigans. Held at London's newest venue XOYO on Thursday 16 December (the night after TLOBF's yet-to-be-announced Xmas bash), topping the bill are Domino heroes Archie Bronson [...]
J'espère que mon camarade ne m'en voudra pas de révéler cela à la face du monde, mais on risque de moins le lire dans les temps qui viennent. Tout ça parce qu'il aura d'autres chats à fouetter, pardon, d'autres chaton(e)s à langer. Alors je voudrais adresser toutes mes félicitations à la maman, au papa et à toute la famille NotIngalls. The Flaming Lips : The Big Old Bug is the New Baby Now (mp3) OK, c'est un peu incongru. Alors voilà: The Singing Adams : Hello Baby [...]
