Occasionally you wake up in the morning with an incredible song in your head and wonder "What happened to that band?". Miss Black America were one of those bands; despite a relatively small following they were cherished by those under their spell. Winning the heart of legendary DJ John Peel and making multiple dents in his 2002 festive-fifty with 'Talk Hard' making it to the #3 position. Far from disappearing off the face of the planet they are playing together as the amazing Ten City Nation . We caught up with guitarist (and occasional vocalist) [...]
Nine months on from the release of their critically-acclaimed second album 'At The Still Point' , DIY champions Ten City Nation are set to return with a string of live dates ahead of the release of a new album and EP. Following a relentless two years of activity, which saw the band self-release two albums, blag supports and tours with Future Of The Left, We Start Fires, Ipso Facto and Blood Red Shoes plus festival slots at Offset and Weyfest, as well as gathering support [...]
Formed in their sleepy UK hometown of Bury St Edmunds in 2007, Ten City Nation wasted no time in gigging like madmen, catching the attention of several notable bands, providing high-profile support during their festival tours, feature on a Love Music Hate Racism compilation, and even an appearance in the forthcoming March 2010 release of the new Suicide Girls movie: "SuicideGirls: Guide to Living". Ten City Nation have been confirmed to appear at London's City Showcase in May 2010 and are currently working on their third album, due for release in mid-to-late Summer, with tours pending in the [...]
In the end, we think this was truly a great year for music. We would argue that this was the year of the new band, with 75% of our top 20 consisting of debut albums. As we started going through this list, we recognized that we'd interviewed many of the bands listed. As you know, based on our refusal to accept advertising, we've been adamant in our refusal to be influenced by labels, promoters, etc.. Frankly, when we heard some of these albums, we were on the phone trying to track the bands down for an [...]
I'll say it again: you don't need big budget production and ten people in your band to make a big sound. Britain's own Ten City Nation produce enough racket to bring out your inner Steve Albini. Having come of age during Seattle's Nirvana heydey, it's somewhat unsettling that the best grunge in the world seems to be coming from England. To their credit, they're able to dial it down at times and show you that they still sound good even when the amps aren't dialed up to 11. Imagine Ben Lee still rocking the Noise Addict [...]
We had intended on doing a weekly recap of great new music, but frankly last week was a little....meh. We'd rather wait until there is music worth tweeting about, rather than just regurgitating the promos that Stereogum was paid handsomely to write about (seriously? Muse? Can we assume a review of the new Daughtry can't be far behind?). Oh wait, did we say we weren't going to be mean-spirited and snarky anymore? That was so last week..... Here's the songs that tickled our fancy this week: Lovvers- The new album "OCD Go Go Go Girls" from [...]
