One of the defining bands of the indie rock explosion of the mid-00’s, Art Brut arrived with a style that was very unique for the time and, inevitably, is so overdone today. Their mix of thick-English-accented Sprechstimme and garage rock influenced music (imagine The Hives if they were from Bournemouth) influenced a flurry of bands after them, like The Fratellis and The Kooks . But Art Brut were not only the originals, but the best, with lead [...]

The only time of the year I wish I were somewhere other than New York is the second to third week of March, when SXSW pulls all of the best and brightest to Austin. Nevertheless I was somewhat consoled by my eighth We Are Scientists show last week. Yes, it was in a Gap store [...]

Posted in Soundbite You'll have to forgive me for being a year out of date with this, but when it was released this time last year I was in Australia, where it wasn't being played. I heard it a few days ago, and the time couldn't be more right to bring it back to your playlist. The tune [...]

Photos by G.

Después de cuatro producciones de estudio y más de una década en el ambiente musical, se puede decir que los chicos de We Are Scientists están más que instalado en la escena del indie rock mundial y está clarísimo que todavía tiene mucho para dar. Lo último que lanzaron fue Barbara que tuvo un interesante éxito, pero que muchos ya nos cansamos de escuchar después de dos años de lanzamiento. Ya es hora que vayan presentando uno nuevo y los californianos dijeron que ya están trabajando en lo que será el sucesor . [...]

After a happy meetup with my NYC PR friend Marni and some finger food from the final press reception of this year’s Great Escape, I was on my own again. As a wheat allergy sufferer, finding food to go can be a bit of a challenge; for example, pasties aren’t too good for my body, and neither are sandwiches. I can have an occasional hamburger bun, but I try to avoid bread and pasta where I can. Knowing I had hours ahead of me for my last night at the festival, I decided to duck into the Yo [...]

Deep in the midst of the Peak District National Park, the sister festival to 2000 Trees is shaping up nicely. Winning the Grassroots Festival award and the coveted Best Toilets award at last year's Festival Awards, Y-Not Festival is back to prove itself worthy of more trophies in its cabinet. Taking place on 3-5 August, there are six stages of the best British music from an array of scenes and sounds. Headlining the Main Stage throughout the weekend are the UK indie mainstays the View [...]

Last weekend saw the Camden Crawl festival land in Dublin for the first time, with two nights of music spread across the city. State was on hand to report on the event and here's our pick of the acts from home and abroad. And So I Watch You From Afar - Button Factory, Friday Few bands seem to get better and better every time you see them live, but ASIWYFA are made of special stuff. New guitarist Niall Kennedy has filled the very big shoes of Tony Wright with aplomb, splicing [...]

Fun loving hipsters. We are Scientists are no strangers to these shores having toured extensively throughout Ireland over the past ten years. A band born to party; founding members Keith Murray and Chris Cain have become renowned for never taking interviews too seriously and adding a comical element to their work.  They have released three albums to date each with an iconic pop/ indie sound and are set to embark on a tour across Europe this summer. State caught up with Keith to see if the bands dynamic has changed after the permanent addition of Andy Burrows (ex [...]

So here we are at the third and final part of my preview of The Great Escape 2012, you can find Thursday's preview here and likewise Friday's here, no need to beat around the bush with introductions to a third part, straight on with Saturday's bands to see (in my opinion). Again I've limited it to seven acts, to give both time to enjoy Brighton and for me to write this. I've also decided to leave out the three bands I picked as tips for the Camden Crawl to avoid too much duplication with those posts (sorry Stealing [...]
