On their Facebook, London's Lovelife describe themselves as a "pop band". But after meeting the band and watching them play live, it's safe to say that Lovelife are a passionate and infectious pop band. The last time AMBY spoke with Lovelife was back in October. The band were set to release their very first EP El Regreso , and now they are soon releasing their third EP Stateless . It's kind of crazy how fast time flies! Back in October, I mentioned to Lovelife's Lee Newell how we really hope they play a gig in Toronto [...]

Photo by Chris Clough Photography Hey, we're 'HeavyHeads' from Hood Town (Nottingham, UK). We just love playing music and experiencing things that help us write it really... Me and Joe have been best friends for the last 5 or 6 years, and he's like a brother to me. We recently went busking our way around Europe which was incredible. We got to experience so much and met so many cool people along the way whilst living free on the road. Our travels helped influence some of our tracks such as "Thrones" and "Lights", and [...]

Vonelle is a Toronto-based, indie rock band who released a self-titled EP last spring. The five song long EP pairs experimental song structures with Julia Crawford’s ethereal voice, creating a whole lot of wonder in just under twenty minutes. The opening track (“Over&Over”) starts with a catchy beat and a poetic first line, “Pretty once parading all over your bed.” Crawford continues to deliver vivid lines about dreams with a “ruby red gleam,” while also subtly balancing the surreal with the real through rhyme—like, “radios trying to pretend” with “be your own best friend.” The EP [...]

I challenge you to name a band that seems to have more fun than Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr . The Detroit duo has a knack for crafting pop songs that are as genuine as they are catchy. Like any band with their salt, DEJJ absolutely brings it in their live show. In a music world that tends to take itself a bit seriously, it is incredibly refreshing to see a band throw all expectations out the window and do whatever they damn well please. Whether they are rocking glow-in-the-dark suits, dancing in the crowd on just their [...]

Village Green are a 5 piece rock n roll band hailing from Middlesbrough in the North East of England, their blistering live shows and memorable melodies have already seen them slot themselves firmly in as one of the best live bands of the region, writing songs that not only are catchy, but writing songs that make you feel something, that make you want to make music yourself, songs that make you want to put your arm around your best friend and have the time of your life. In the end this is a band you simply must see, and here [...]

We’re an Ottawa based quartet and we play music we like to call ‘pelvic rock’. It’s rock that makes you want to thrust your pelvis. Silvergun & Spleen is a band of 4 best friends,  passionate about life, making music and having fun.  That’s what this band is about.  We hope to transmit that to as many people as possible.  Our first LP, ‘Semi Truck’, was released in September of 2012 and we plan to tour it a whole bunch this year.  We love to keep busy on Facebook and twitter and we’re always posting new [...]

Jason Collins is the first active athlete in the major American team sports, who went public about being gay. He played 12 NBA seasons with major play-off teams and is still on to continue his career with the age of 34. In the US, his coming out raised big sympathies up to president Obama, who The post Idaho 2013 - International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia – it happens right in front of you appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

Hi Folks, Thanks for dropping by.  Want to know about us?  Well here are the questions that we get asked a lot ....the answers are all true. We were trying to find a bit about the origins of Bombskare, but failed, can you tell us about how you came together? I’m not an archaeologist but I’m told we were formed around the time of Charlemagne.  That would make us over twelve hundred years old, which feels about right, but until we get round to carbon dating Papa Joe, our oldest [...]

By Stef Siepel May 16, 2013 If you follow our Twitter feed , you will have seen this one pass: A short documentary by Red Bull Music Academy of twelve years of DFA . It's a must see. Not because of its in-depth look into the music industry (it isn't), nor for great reveals or juicy back stories (it hasn’t). But because - in all its lightness, fun, and short running time - you do get an idea of (and have to marvel at) how such a small [...]

Hey there everyone (reading this). We are the Koniac Net , hailing all the way from Bombay (India). Our debut album, " One Last Monsoon ," began as a solo project of mine (founder / composer David Abraham). Due to a string of unfortunate events, I decided to do this album by myself, predominantly recorded in my bedroom. Most of the songs off this album were written by me between 2000-2009. However, after gaining a lof of positive response from radio stations around the globe, I decided to get a band together, which currently consists of 5 members altogether. [...]

To get a little taste of a Dutch Uncles gig, and the band's personal favourites, Dutch Uncles Sped, Duncan, and Peter graciously spoke with us about their favourite gigs! *** Sped - 16/2/2013 Manchester – [...]
