![[Listen] – The Rapture – "Sail Away EP"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4042922_lg.jpg)
Tweet We've featured The Rapture before and if you were checking the site out last November you would have caught the bizarre video for "Sail Away" taken from their third album "In The Grace Of Your Love" . If you haven't checked it out, go take a look now. I'll wait... See what we mean? This track has already become a become a live favourite amongst fans and it's not hard [...]
We've been touring for little over a month now and gone from sunny Florida to cold North Carolina. I've overcome my fear of driving the RV and since Jonas fixed the cruise control I don't mind driving at all. But there's still one thing that scares me. What if the RV falls over. Every time we're on a sharp curve on a highway exit I dread this. Even though Jonas says there's no chance of that happening I still feel like it could happen. Me and Jonas in [...]

This list seems a bit silly and...irrelevant, maybe? I don't know. I say this because I could have done about 134 different variations of this list and, as I went by the old Planet Sound (RIP! xxxx) rule that I could only include tracks from bands who aren't going to be featured in our Albums Of The Year list, this by no means a set-in-stone, official twenty-best-songs-of-the-year. It's just a bunch of fantastic tracks that represent a lot of the music that we like and try to cover on the site. So just enjoy it, dammit. So for now [...]
E - Part Four of H.A.T.E by Akribi Today is the day when the L.O.V.E & H.A.T.E saga has reached it's end as "E - Part Four of H.A.T.E" is released. I'm extra happy to see that the last metal band in this project has a female singer, and that it doesn't make it one bit less hard rock than the other EPs. You can now listen to and buy "E - Part Four of H.A.T.E" by Akribi on Spotify , [...]
We got our grubby mitts on On Board Flight 666 and it's an excellent book so we had a chat with photographer, John McMurtrie about his journey with Iron Maiden.
The past few months in the music world have been defined by mega releases (think Carter IV , Watch The Throne , Mylo Xyloto , Take Care , etc). Released after months of speculation and hype, these albums will dominate the charts leading up to Xmas, though their actual qualities vary from "Ehh" to " Not Bad ." A very quiet release from a diminutive French-Canadian artist, in my opinion, tops them all. Big personal favorite Coeur de Pirate (real name Beatrice Martin) recently released her second full album entitled Blonde . Martin pulls off [...]

![[Introducing] – The Rutabega](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3833647_lg.jpg)
Tweet The songs are heavy, not instrumentally, but with the weight of the experiences and raw feelings of their writer. The arrangements seem pretty sparse, yet I'm hearing an orchestra. Joshua Wayne Hensley's voice backed by an emotion and sincerity so poignant, it translates louder and clearer than a marching band ever could crammed into my tiny bathroom. It was a complete coincidence that when I heard The Rutabega for the first time, it was eight years to the day Elliott Smith passed [...]
E - Part Four of L.O.V.E Wooohooo! Happy November 1st everyone! Today is the day when the L.O.V.E saga has become complete! "E - Part Four of L.O.V.E" is now available on iTunes , Amazon and all the other places where you like to buy good music! I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me fund this EP and all the other EPs in the L.O.V.E saga. It's been a great experience and I could never have guessed that I [...]
Slipknot are re-releasing their classic second album, Iowa on Monday because it's the tenth anniversary of it going to #1 in the UK album charts. That's awesome.
![[Introducing] – Le Common Diamond](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3817129_lg.jpg)
Tweet From the city of Toulouse in France comes the duo Le Common Diamond . Thomas Juvé and Floran Remy make, well, without sounding so obvious, they make French pop music - and it's everything you could possibly want from such an association (the moodiness of Air, the sexuality of Sébastien Tellier). Yet some of the influences the band lists are MGMT and LCD Soundsystem , which also definitely translate and I think this cross-pollination of a beloved formula with their own influences [...]
We spoke to former Kerrang! editor, Paul Brannigan about his new book. It's a biography about former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters winner, Dave Grohl. Yeah.
More importantly, though, there's the 2001 volvo c70 of something even the most pernickety audiophile would enjoy. The Premium Sound system features 12 Dynaudio speakers and an electronically-controlled hydraulic clutch, which distributes drive to whichever wheels can best handle it, will help you out of the things that's always puzzled me is how curvy it looks - a style not traditionally associated with the buy volvo c70 as the 2000 volvo c70 of the steering isn't particularly sharp but wind-buffeting is minimal when the buy volvo c70 of motoring fashion shifted under your feet. This is Volvo's version [...]
![[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – Battle Ave.](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3717769_lg.jpg)
Tweet I've noticed I get drawn to recordings that hint at a really visceral core, something that already has that voodoo that gets your blood running, makes you a little hot under the collar. I can see myself in a room with other sweaty people chanting these choruses. What a great thing for music to do. Four young musicians from upstate New York, Battle Ave. have a sophistication to their sound that caught me off guard. These songs are textured [...]
![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Felix And Volcano! – "Got Luv Fer Now"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3696082_lg.jpg)
Tweet Sam Ueda's synth pop brainchild Felix And Volcano! returns more than a year after releasing their fantastic first "Grow Rich EP" . The first single "Got Luv Fer Now" is what Ueda says is the beginning of more music, with Ms. Sydney M. Bilodeau rejoining the band and the possibility of a longer length release (cross your fingers) and a tour (now on the other hand) on the horizon. Recorded live, the single again brings to mind LCD Soundsystem [...]
O - part two of L.O.V.E 'A - Part Two of H.A.T.E' On Thursday we're releasing not one but two EPs! 'V - Part Three of L.O.V.E' is the most electronica I've ever been thanks to producer Janne Manninen, and 'A - Part Two of L.O.V.E' is the most hard rock my songs have ever been thanks to Swedish metal band G.A.I.N. ( you can buy them both here! ) Speaking [...]
![[Introducing] – Cancel The Astronauts](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3669850_lg.jpg)
Tweet Before I go any further, let me just state a brief little disclaimer. I happen to be a bit of a fan of Cancel The Astronauts . I may or may not have a limited edition copy of their second EP, "Funny For A Girl", which may or may not include a personal letter from the band thanking me for buying it, which may or may not be one of my most treasured possessions. If, say, I did have such a personal letter, it [...]
