Now, only having just released their debut EP and their second single ' Eskimo Boy ', Strange Talk are about to embark on a national tour in support of their new release. Delivering pop hooks with [...]

Stopmakingme has remixed Death From Above 1979 in celebration of their comeback shows/tour of 2011. He has chosen the track ' Black History Month ', and although he has done a great job, it's hard when the track was remixed so well by Braxe/Falke on the ' Remixes & B-Sides LP '.

Lupe Fiasco is one of few hip-hop artists to straddle the hemispheres of both rap and rock; and do it with such flair. So when I first got my hands on Lupe's long awaited - and by this I mean almost half a decade - third album, Lasers , I anticipated something more along the lines of " Catch Me " and " And He Gets The Girl ". Lyrics and beats that really epitomize what Lupe is known to do well. Lasers on the other hand, seemed kind of left of field in comparison. [...]
