I'm always excited to hear new Jimmy Eat World music. "I Will Steal You Back" is the first single from the new album 'Damage' due out next week. Until then you can stream the whole thing here. The Arizona quartet has been around for long enough to release what will be their seventh studio album.

Pacific Air consists of Ryan and Taylor Lawhon , formally known as KO KO who were best known for their song "Float". The duo is back with "Move" , a bouncy track that cuts surprisingly deep for being so breezy. The track is a like a blast of fresh, crisp air. "Move" is a track that is defined by it's contrasts. Take rhythm of this track, for example. Rolling, thunderous drums crash in between steady, simple hand claps. Celestial synth arpeggios create a vastness that [...]
Since winning the BBC Sound Of 2013 poll at the start of the year, Haim have garnered a considerable following despite not yet releasing a full album. As the hype continues to grow, the sisters had much to prove at this gig. They were supported by another Sound Of nominee: Arlissa, who performed a rare acoustic set. Whilst it was missing the exotic production, it allowed us to really hear her vocal with its rich tone, lilting inflections and impressive range. The singer [...]
Pacific Air (formerly known as KO KO) is band that I think will be successful. They started with a blog hit in "Float" and have even managed to move passed the pressure of having a debut song be an Internet hit. Even more than their Long Live Koko EP, I think the release of their follow-up song "Lose My Mind" was proof of a focused band on the rise. Now, "Move" is the game-changer. Equal parts catchy and personal, this is a perfect summer jam for you and your friends. Expect their debut LP [...]

This is the week Sempiternal was meant to be released before those damned leakers leaked the crap out of Bring Me The Horizon 's excellent fourth album. This is the London leg of their release tour and if you're thinking, “Oh, they're only playing Koko,” it's because this is a special intimate show. We crowbarred our way into the gig.

Brandy's 'The Boy is Mine' with Monica from 1998 has probably been remixed, edited and tweaked into absolute boredom but let's be real, there's tunes and there's t u n e s and this one... I'm lost for words really. When music makes you feel, that's how good this is. It's one of those rare tunes that you wanna make love with. HNNY (real name Johan Cederberg) is a Stockholm-based producer who dropped his EP "For the Very First Time" last year and 'Boy' is released on a strictly limited 12" white label (buy it here [...]
Seeing Portico Quartet live was an intense and immersive experience, where you left feeling that your dreams would be cast in the warm glow of a sunset. - By Sarah McRuvie
"It is some of the album’s less obvious moments however that shine brightest, and offer a tantalising glimpse of what Dog Is Dead could well blossom into..." Dog Is Dead | KOKO 25.04.13 “Every time we come to London we play to twice as many people as last time” , lead singer Robert Milton tells a jubilant KOKO. For a group of guitar-wielding, straight-down-the-line indie lads – in times that we’re told are increasingly difficult for guitar-wielding, straight-down-the-line indie lads – this is encouraging news. But this is no overnight success story. The Nottingham [...]
"This is our first and last time in London" Kaizers Orchestra ringleader and founder Janove Ottesen confesses before a seething throng, only to then revert to the safe haven that is his default Norwegian. I needless to say can't even so much as begin to comprehend that last bit, but he seems pleased with himself as he stands proud on the cusp of the stage – a Scandi hybridity of Mike Patton and Alan Smith. The Bryne ensemble, now in its fourteenth year of existence having formed at the dawning of this contemporary millennium, may be [...]
It's a bad wind that don't blow somebody some good, or so the hackneyed old adage goes and so it seems on a blustery Camden eve for Barry – the solitary inhabitant of a nearby phone box perma-clad in sunglasses even at this, the death of night. He's his eight cans of Special Brew, and a wicked tongue with which to lap them up – a devilish flicker of beard protruding forth form his chinny chin chin. It's hideously chilly out as we draw close to midnight, and yet there's an inexhaustible hope hidden deep within him as he spacks [...]

As surreptitious meeting places go, the back of a black van belonging to Swans with a wingspan of at least three conventional hatchbacks at a bleak end of Camden Town is right up there in terms of the outré. And peripheral though its Mornington Crescent-shaped extreme may be, it feels as though we're right at the still very much palpitating, and distressingly pallid heart of the discombobulating Easter blizzard currently passing through – one "nobody's used to, save for eskimos." It makes for a hostile welcome to London if ever there were one, though I wholeheartedly envisage Jamie Stewart to [...]
Church music... - by Benjamin Bland
"This is the first installment in what we hope to be a yearly festival, focused on disparate music and genres. Artists are chosen based on their ability to resuscitate, set fire to the air, or to mesmerize. All of the performers chosen for this year’s festival I find personally to be compelling in this regard. The goal: joy!" Michael Gira's words; not ours, though the inaugural Mouth To Mouth curation courtesy of Swans to have taken place at Koko, Mornington Crescent oozed oodles of this prophesied joy which was brought to we, the open eared, [...]
The establishing of an annual metropolitan festival in a city alien to his own during which our weatherbeaten curator intends to congregate practitioners of explicitly "disparate music and genres" may initially appear an immoderately audacious endeavour. Though so spake the inimitably intimidating, and indeed ever valiant Michael Gira ahead of the inaugural Mouth To Mouth – a showcase of sorts geared toward just the one lone goal, with that being the engendering of undiluted joy. It's surely the solitary sensation every show aims to provoke and though centred around artists "chosen based on their ability to resuscitate, set [...]
