The headline says it all, folks. Canadian indie/alternative twin-duo Tegan and Sara have officially come back from their year and a half off, and are expected to enter the studio in the middle of this month. Having not toured since a year before the release of their three-part short film series Get Along in November of 2011, this installation can be expected to deviate slightly from the latest Sainthood and even more (most likely) from 20072s The Con , while still retaining that ever-present [...]

After some singing practise and the assessment of a friend who used to be a vocal teacher, I've discovered that my voice is a lot sweeter than I expected or wanted it to be. I want to sound like a rock star. This, however, is not Elena Tonra's problem and to our benefit, she is utilising her gorgeous, sweet voice in Daughter , a three-piece including Tonra's electric guitarist boyfriend Igor Haefeli and drummer Remi Aguilella. Last year the band released 2 EPs. First out of the gate was 'His [...]

This is their debut album as a duo and they quietly dropped on their label, 50 Weapons this morning (Jan 27th! My birthday...What a treat!!)

My mind is filled with the bits and pieces of my musical upbringing; there are plenty of memories of the first band I ever fell in love with, the Beatles. (Sorry if this was predictable. I've been told that because I'm American, it's predictable.) They were the first band I was ever obsessed with: our public television station ran a documentary on them called The Compleat Beatles narrated by Malcolm McDowell, and I watched it so many times, I could quote all the narration word for word from memory and had mastered the Scouse accent, though it [...]

• The Hummingbirds - Talking Of Tomorrow EP

Bear Cavalry ( twitter / bandcamp ) hail from the English south coast town of Gosport, not known for its musical heritage, but this youthful foursome (they're all only 19 or 20) have produced some tracks with as diverse sounds that some have referred to as almost mathrock or afrobeat. Their debut EP, Maple Trails (which I managed to missplace when I moved house last year - boo!), stylistically swerves all over the place, but always keeps its pulse on the dancefloor. A chirpy, sunny disposition with a little jazz-fusion complexity sprinkled around to keep the listener [...]

Amplifier are a strange entity: a band with a massive cult following, huge critical acclaim. Yet relative obscurity still surrounds them. Formed by Sel Balamir, Amplifier are progressive heavy metal in its purest form. Stripped down to its bare bones, with a guitar, bass and drums. Simple. Their influences when you listen to them are obvious: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Def Leppard. All of these are combined, then given a kick up the arse and make up the amorphous beast that is Amplifier. Their first self-titled record drew 5 star reviews all [...]

Left to Right: Chris Hudson (drums), Wade MaVv (lead vocals/guitar), and Chuck Holiday (bass.). In the back room of the unassuming San Pedro Brewing Company , while the chilly Southern Californian day wore on, KiLR (pronounced KY-ler) was in the process of launching/promoting their first major music video and conducting a 48-hour drive for 100,000 views. For an independent pop-rock/full alternative band from the Los Angeles area, this feat may seem daunting...but their sound is solid and definitely more than able to shatter viral status in no time at all.
