If you've been keeping up with your tweets in recent weeks, you'll be well aware of a trickle of new albums on the horizon from some very familiar names. So familiar, in fact, the 2012 new release list could just as well be for 2009. A wave of reunion-esque albums are on their way, as band members who have flown the coop trying to make it en seule seem to be quietly sneaking back to their roots. I'm lookin' at you, Kele Okereke . Bloc Party are not the only [...]
Here is a guest mixtape from the most awesome HunterHSK . He did everything on this one including the above album art and proper ID3 tags. Nice! Thanks Hunter and Happy Birthday! Hunter writes: This Friday's Mixtape comes to you all the way from sunny Costa Rica. DJ HBomb is bringing a little weekend party list to all y'all out there on his 30th birthday, tomorrow the 11th. I through this mix together hoping to give everyone a taste of what I will be listening to on the [...]
Dead Wolf Club are pretty energetic. Single ' Radar ' starts with a lone guitar line that sounds like the song is going to explode into a raging flurry of head-nodding, chaotic rhythms and riffs that will make you want to lose track of space and time in a dingy indie club somewhere off Charing Cross Road as you slowly inhale tequila and cover yourself in a thin balm of stale beer and sickly sweat on a packed dance floor. It's unfortunate then that such a hypnotic climax seems [...]
So much pop indie rock this month we don't know what to do with ourselves. We love our inbox so keep the music coming. Here's a few bands from Washington DC, Brooklyn, Florida, to Hampshire, UK. This first one is a good song to open up our singles with by Access Royale . Cool little guitars, keyboard and bass interplay that tweeters and draws you in like a puzzle made out of musical notes. Think Dismemberment Plan and Bloc Party. Yup Access Royale are from DC so the proverbial chord [...]
![Surfacing: Casablanca [New Band]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4048422_lg.jpg)
Words: Saam Das Back in 2007, when this blog was called Keep Hope Inside, I talked a bit about a barely-into-their-teens indie band called Lo-Fi Culture Scene on one of the few podcasts I ever got around to making. Turns out we weren't the only ones to evolve into different things as the LFCS boys are now Casablanca , partly named after the film and a member of The Strokes , with an appropriately mature sound. [...]
Après la sortie de son album Strange Mercy en septembre 2011, Annie Clark alias St. Vincent truste aujourd'hui les gros titres de l'actualité grâce à la mise en ligne de son clip pour l'un des meilleurs morceaux du dit album, Cheerleader . Signée Hiro Murai (Bloc Party, Usher, Scissor Sisters) et inspirée par le sculpteur australien Ron Mueck , la video met en scène une St. Vincent géante, reconvertie en pièce de musée d'art moderne. Magie, la "statue" s'anime...
We're now able to reveal the location for Friday's SOCIETY warehouse all-nighter: VILLAGE UNDERGROUND 54 Holywell Lane, Shoreditch EC2A 3PQ 8pm - 4am Just off Great Eastern St - walking distance from Old St and Liverpool St stations - map here . After seeing Village Underground we knew we had to change location - and what a location it is! We'd go as far as to say this is THE BEST warehouse [...]
Luego del gran lanzamiento de Strange Mercy el año pasado, Annie Clark , más conocida como St. Vincent , tiene un nuevo video para la canción Cheerleader . En este video dirigido por Hiro Murai ( Scissor Sisters , Bloc Party , Usher ) no hay porristas, pero sí hay gigantes. Bueno, una. Annie Clark robotizada y gigantezca lo protagoniza. Ella es el centro de una [...]
Alex Foxx just tossed us a remix to his favourite Bloc Party track "Flux". It's fantastic and holds on to a real dark, transparent vibe. Completely bringing me back to the pure Bloc Party days of '09. I haven't done a bonus track in ages but at the bottom you can check out my own absolute favourite- Phones' disco edit to the track "Banquet". Follow Foxx for more great remixes. BONUS! Bloc Party - Banquet (Phones Disco Edit)
Anything or anyone who reduces the creative process of songmaking to a public vote only has themselves to blame if they end up beaten to death by the ' music is not a competition ' brigade. The logic of something like the Scottish Alternative Music Awards is fundamentally warped - it turns artistic expression into a popularity contest and it asks musicians to become competitors. But, to be fair, these issues really only come into play if people take it more seriously [...]
Liam Gallagher es de los pocos rockstars que se mantienen y todavía siguen lanzando discos. El artista, cada tanto, sale a hablar con la prensa (sólo cuando tiene ganas y no los maldice de arriba abajo) y en esta oportunidad aseguró que preferiría todavía estar en Oasis antes que en su actual banda, que formó con ex miembros de la anterior, llamada Beady Eye . El artista actualmente está trabajando en lo que será la nueva producción de su nueva agrupación y aseguró que si bien la está pasando bien con Beady Eye preferiría que [...]

I get all my ideas from him. - BUSY P So you would think [...]
Kites is a London band comprised of the four unique musical talents, who frontman Matthew Phillips describes their sound as, "Melodramatic provocation for discontented dreamers". They have been compared to the likes of New Order and Talking Heads, and have supported a nice range of various acts on tour such as Jarvis Cocker, The Maccabees, The Mystery Jets, Erasure, and Bloc Party. As I listen to their newest song 'This Jumped-Up Boy In Livery' I get the old school Bloc Party vibe that I have been aching to have return for sometime now. It is [...]
Not content with releasing details of their long-awaited new album 'Wonky' as well as announcing four UK Summer festival headline appearances this week, Orbital today unveil the official video for new track 'Straight Sun'. Orbital have now confirmed their headline UK festival appearances this Summer. Taking in The Beat Herder in June, Bloc and The Secret Garden Party in July and Bestival in September, Orbital are gearing up for some very special Summer gigs.
Holla! So, it turns out that Andy Campbelll rocked the absolute shit out of GIGANTIC once again. I mean, just look at that tasty set list below - you could practically eat the damn thing. I asked him to pick out a few of his favourite tunes from the night, and he gave us three whoppers below. What a gent. ---------- A Band Of Bees - Chicken Payback Spank Rock - Ta Da Kelis - Bossy Dj Shadow Feat Little Dragon - Scale It Back Justice - On'n'on Klaxons - No [...]
Prinzhorn Dance School - Clay Class By Nick Cowan When Brighton come Portsmouth post-punk duo, Prinzhorn Dance School released their self titled debut in 2008, it enthralled some and bewildered most. Confused listeners didn't know what to make of the sparse bass riffs and poignant pauses, shattered by lyrics chanted or shouted but rarely sung. It led to divisive reviews claiming it to genius or nonsense and sometimes both . So far, so pretentious but when it worked the band conveyed an awkward gravity that [...]
Imperial Leisure Death To The One Trick Pony Steamroller Ltd 26 March 2012 by Tom Doyle It's funny how sometimes one bands breakthrough into the relative mainstream can remind everyone of something that was always good but that has simply fallen out of fashion. The King Blues rise and rise has thrown a fresh light onto the UK's ska punk scene and kids are once again digging out their parents old Trojan Records box sets and embracing the brass. That can [...]
