Bleeding Heart Narrative's Bison EP may have been released late last year yet we're still finding new moments to get lost in. This is some seriously experimental pop from the East London sextet - even their press release bands between Steve Reich and Arcade Fire in an attempt to describe the group's twisting sounds and structures. We took time out from wandering through the band's musical mazes to chat about the EP, Nicolas Cage and shedding a few members. Bowlegs: After the positive reaction to Bison, has much changed in the world of [...]
We are still loving Bleeding Heart Narrative's Bison EP - and here's one of our favourite tracks from it - the excellent Mysterious Cults .
There's something truly frustrating about a decent mini album. It's of course a relief to hear that it holds up, or in some cases proves to be a genuinely impressive addition to a band's release history, but this in itself creates an exasperated disdain for the fact that before you've had your fill, it's over. It's both a blessing and a curse, and for Bleeding Heart Narrative 's recent five-tracker, Bison , it couldn't be more applicable. As a band that have never shied away from the tried-and-tested "start [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Following the release of their brand new Bison EP this past Monday via Brainlove Records , Bleeding Heart Narrative have revealed the video for 'Shoals'. A collection of black and white imagery from stock footage and some original snippets featuring the band, the video accompanies the track's gently momentous keys and low vocal harmonies. The band have made a series of mixtapes, which can be heard here , to accompany their latest release and also have [...]
Check out the video for Shoals, from the London sextet here. With XFM and Six Music already fans, we tip them for greatness. Bleeding Heart Narrative - Shoals on MUZU .
Trawling the great expanse of new music these days can prove tiresome. Why do so many of us spend hours listening to things that inevitably we will no doubt never listen to again in a years time? Why do we listen to something we first took as bad twice? We listen to make sure it was bad. We listen to make sure we know the bad inside and out, so that when something truly wonderful comes along, we can enjoy it all the more so. With so many bands out there which are part x, part y, Bleeding Heart [...]
I'm not getting on with this as quickly as I'd hoped but here are a couple of new Green Man sets for you… [Sorry about the asterisks - I'm a bit concerned about the search engine issue] Holy F*** I'm not what you'd call a die-hard fan of this lot, although there are times when their second album "LP" really hits the spot. So I wasn't really sure how I was going to find what promised to be a really raucous Saturday night headlining set from Holy F***. [...]

Abe Beame didn't even need to make a Chris Isaak joke. Abel Tesfaye and Jeremy Rose are an indie rock-influenced R&B outfit from Toronto who call themselves The Weeknd . If this wasn't bad enough, they've just released an obnoxiously promoted demo called House of Balloons. Yes, for those under the impression they're listening to a fully formed mixtape, this is a demo. Two young men searching for a sound and wearing influence on their sleeves, channeling everyone from Maxwell and Aaliyah to Jodeci, Montell Jordan, and The Dream. [...]

Today's music comes from another band featured on Little Steven's "Coolest Songs in the World." The Bleeding Hearts, from Raleigh, N.C., released Nothing on but the Radio in June of this year. This release finally brought the band the credibility they deserve. The first single, "Rehab Girl," almost instantly got into heavy rotation on Little Steven's Underground Garage, and brought them not just national, but world-wide attention. "Would Green Day a roots-nephew?" wrote Hank, on a Dutch Web site. "Sam Madison has the largest bleeding heart. He writes the [...]
Raleigh's third annual Raleigh Wide Open was held this past weekend to celebrate the opening of the new Raleigh Convention Center . Dozens of local vendors set up booths offering a wide variety of food and beverage options for the anticipated tens of thousands of attendees. Three stages were booked with bands representative of the varied nature of Raleigh's collective musical taste... from Chuck Berry to Annuals, Soul Asylum to Freebase 808, and many many more. Unfortunately, Hurricane Hanna (at this point merely a tropical storm) had other plans. Most of the day Friday was [...]
Raleigh's third annual Raleigh Wide Open is a 36 hour free festival that is set to celebrate the opening of the new Raleigh Convention Center with appearances from bands such as Soul Asylum, Chuck Berry, and Arrested Development. This excites who exactly? Not that I don't adore Chuck Berry but shouldn't these things be about fresh and exciting music? Well, if you're in Raleigh this weekend and looking for great music at an all-day (free) outdoor festival then you're in luck, just steer clear of that main stage. For the good shit, head over [...]
In the almost-too-weird-to-believe category, Norwegian newspaper Aftonbladet h as issued a call for Lindsay Lohan to cover the Bleeding Hearts' "Rehab Girl," which has enjoyed considerable success since getting big-upped by Little Stephen. At least, I think that's what this article says -- that's what Joe Yerry says it says. But since I don't read Norwegian, and I don't think Joe does either, I decided to consult the Google translator. I don't think it reads Norwegian either. From what I gather, the Aftonbladet folks really dig the CD's album cover, which isn't surprising seeing as the band couldn't keep [...]

We start out a little rowdy, calm down a wee, and then just bounce around a bit, i.e., the usual consistency. We love the songs, though, which is why we're here.
