The name may well ring a bell. That's most probably due to Missing Andy's success on Sky 1's "Must Be The Music" last year. Or it could simply be because you've been listening out for the rare Top 40 hit that isn't simply a big name performing atop a shallow dance beat, but is instead music made and crafted, attempting to convey some sort of message. In the band's own words "No one is speaking up for our generation." Vigilantism was however set aside for the support acts, the notable, and local, Tales Of George most definitely ensured [...]
Bristol's cleverly named Seasfire , could be England's next answer for down-tempo, heavy bass R&B. On their single, "Falling", the vocals are massive, and while the instrumentation may seem quite minimal at first, it cascades slowly and deeply into the heartbeat of this track. I even hear a tiny bit of Seal in here. I mean in that in the most positive way.With a very interesting immediate sound, I'm quite intrigued to see what the future holds for these guys. Seasfire - "Falling"
Described by MOJO as "Brighton's answer to SXSW " and "...a cornucopia of vital new music and conferencing for industry pros", the Great Escape has announced its first group of bands. The festival will take place 10-12 May 2012 in venues across Brighton. Included in the initial line-up are Saturday night headliner Africa Express Sound System , hotly tipped bands Dry the River (pictured above) and Spector , as well as eclectic dance rhythm specialists as Django Django (whose song [...]
This weekend (yes, it starts tomorrow night, in case you haven't noticed!) sees a trio of charity gigs in memory of the late, great hip hop producer J-Dilla who passed away in 2006 at age 32 from lupus-related complications. The three events - happening in Manchester, Brighton and London this weekend - will raise money for the J-Dilla Foundation , founded to help fund inner-city music programs and provide scholarships to high-achieving music students, and Lupus UK , the only national registered charity in the UK supporting [...]
Tweet The Brighton music scene is often thought of as a hot-bed of middle of the road indie-rock bands, think Kooks *shudder*, the Maccabees etc. But more recently we've been able to highlight some of the more varied sounds from the city including Abi Wade , The Robot Heart , the Tru Thoughts label Pope Joan and Tall Ships . An increasingly respected producer from Brighton is Will Phillips, aka Tourist . He's more known [...]
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 [...]
14th es un dúo de Brighton que principalmente hace música electrónica, de esa oscura que está tan de modita últimamente. No es lo más innovador que hayamos visto, pero la voz de Tracey Duodu puede que tenga la capacidad de conquistarlos. ¿Qué opinan? Acá hay otra gran voz femenina.
You guys, wow. Wow. We don't know too much about this Brighton newcomer act called Tourist....

We've said it before and we'll say it again, but acts that cross and fuse genres always grab our attention. As you may have guessed where this is going, Icarus Youth do just that. Another thing that appeals to us is promoting local bands, again, Icarus Youth hail from Brighton, much like us. It would seem quite likely, even natural, that their 'indie Rock 'n' Rhyme' fusion would find itself on HMCMB at some point or another. We only wish it was sooner. The music then, dark and quirky. An ominous amalgam of considered lyricism, sharp guitar and [...]
Fanfarlo 's new album, 'Rooms Filled with Light', will be out on the 27th of February. Here is the band performing live the first song previewed from it, 'Shiny Things', which we featured on this previous Video of the Moment. You can preorder the album now; the limited edition box set is looking pretty nifty. The band have a couple dates scheduled for next month around the album's release date: Thursday 23rd February 2012 - Glasgow Stereo Friday 24th February 2012 - Newcastle [...]
Live: M83 + Porcelain Raft @ Concorde 2, Brighton January 22nd 2012 Porcelain Raft and M83 certainly share a penchant for the ethereal, even if Porcelain Raft instantiate this through a totally unpretentious set of bedroom loops and samples and M83 do so through sheer size and spectacle. The opening act, a duo fronted by London-based Italian Mauro Remiddi and recently signed to Secretly Canadian, release their much-anticipated debut album 'Strange Weekend' on January 24th. Though working within a similar sound-pallete, Porcelain Raft eschew the kind of sprawling, multi-layered, synthesized bombast of M83 in [...]
There is a serious point in the Evening Argus piece about going deaf at gigs , but there's also something a bit puzzling about it: A music fan has warned fellow rockers too many concerts could make them deaf like her. Sue Burgess said years of going to performances by the likes of Right Said Fred had contributed to the severe hearing problems she and husband Tony have both developed. Now, it's true that the Burgesses have seen Right Said Fred, but later on there's a bit more depth to their musical tastes: [...]

****************************** ***** "I certainly don't think Thatcher is a feminist icon, she had no interest in social equality" so says Rebecca Stephens after we've conluded our interview and we can't help but think " Ahh, how we've missed you Becki!" So let's recap ! Brighton's polka dot 602s uber girl-group revisionists The Pipettes were undoubtedly great fun but one always suspected they had a time limited appeal and that creatively certain members of the group may have had more offer then forever playing the role [...]
You'd probably be forgiven for expecting Toro Y Moi, playing Coalition as part of the South coast's 'Viva La France', to be another French producer set to carry the electro torch. As a native of South Carolina USA though, with no ascertainable French connection, that's probably not the case. Aside from questioning the metrics used for choosing Viva La France's acts, Toro Y Moi's South Carolinian roots do help explain his part in the much touted 'chillwave' movement of Summer 2010 that has helped, and hindered, his career thus far. The reason being that Toro Y Moi and fellow 'chillwave' [...]
Birkwin Jersey, a.k.a. Graeme Coop, er fra Brighton, UK. Hans elektroniske musik består af digitale virkemidler og samples. Resultatet er langt fra så syntetisk som det måske lyder. Lyden er varm og organisk og er nærmest en slags elektronisk udgave af folk med en dømmende, meditativ karakter. Alle Birkwin Jersey's udgivelser er frit tilgængelige og kan anbefales at dykke ned i. Find links til de forskellige plader via hans soundcloud profil længere nede, hvor det selvfølgelig også er muligt at høre mere af hans musik. Det er ikke alt Birkwin Jerseys materiale jeg er lige så [...]
