Loved Ones are definitely very subtly staking their claim into being the UK's most exciting new eccentric-ambient-folk band. It might not be the most hotly contested accolade in the music industry, but, nevertheless, it goes someway to describing the Wirralian quartet's measured brilliance. It has seen them go from being the most talked about band in Liverpool's music community to seducing Communion in a relationship that will hopefully bear some very beautiful musical children. Judging by new track, "All Your Cry", that seduction is looking increasingly likely. Ripped from the forthcoming debut album "The Merry Monarch", [...]
This is so underappreciated it is either going to make me question the state of the music media or my own sanity. However, I'm pretty sure I'm largely sane, and, more importantly, an objective enough a listener not to be drawn towards music simply for the virtue of having been made in a town relatively near to mine. So the conclusion is the same one that I've been drawing for a while; Loved Ones' debut single "Are You Hiding Out In Hell?"s fragility and unrelenting, restrained emotion is absolutely brilliant. And now they've a hypnotic video to match the song's [...]
Being a music journalist has always seemed like an unbelievably illogical career path to me, because presumably you would only choose to become one if you loved music, yet, surely to anybody who loves music, the idea of being forced to continuously listen to and pick over an album that you have a real hatred for is something close to Guantanamo Bay levels of torture (not that I've been and know what goes down there). And then there's also the point that you get paid less than a well organised busker, and that whole crisis of people virtually stopping buying [...]
We all know that Twitter is an invaluable way to let people know how deathly dull your life is, but the Twitgigs experiment this Thursday 6th August is an opportunity for you to try and convince your followers otherwise. At The Vibe Bar in "London's trendy Brick Lane" Twitgigs will be putting on a battle of the bands with acts sourced directly through Twitter. Punters in attendance choose the winner by sending in a postcard tweeting their votes, if they can tear their eyes away from the live Twitterfall updates [...]
"He'd measure rainfall, wouldn't he?" Dare: try to say it five times fast. The Seal Cub Clubbing Club , who reside in Wirral, England just outside of Liverpool, are probably the most eccentric bunch of non-eccentrics I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. The ultra kitschy moniker, which I've slowly grown to both love and appreciate, and the wonderfully bizarre cover art, though not entirely reflective of the music contained therein, are are somehow inexplicably befitting. The band's newly released [...]
