Kris Allen rose to stardom singing covers of other people's songs on American Idol , so it's only fitting that he returned to his roots by performing some covers we might not have expected from the Kidz Bop judge. The drunken dubstepper had the ladies at the show cracking up with jokes aplenty (judging by the sounds of the crowd, we estimate that attendance was at least 99.99% female) before launching into a medley that wove Rihanna's "We Found Love," Katy Perry's "Firework," and Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" together. Watch the girl-pop medley and "Vision [...]

Nada Surf - KOKO 08/02/12 There can't be many other bands that leak effortless goodwill quite like Nada Surf. Releasing charming album after charming album they've built up a loyal following despite remaining, in the UK at least, neglected by playlist compilers and magazine editors. While the fickle fingers of hype and hyperbole have never been their style, noone who witnessed their blitz two date tour of our fair isles could deny that whatever they have been doing is working for them. Now in their 402s and boasting more than just a few grey hairs the [...]

Caught the end of these guys the other week when they supported Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. Finally got round to tracking them down and man, they do kill. Pop Singles kinda sound like Geoffrey O'Connor and classic local stuff like Go Betweens. They are great song writers - quite intricate at times, but, in [...]

We're mere hours away from starting the weekend, and with the season finale of football over, we'll actually have to go outside. Luckily, there are tons of great shows, and many fundraising for a good cause, over the next few days. Let's get to it. FRIDAY SOFT SPEAKER The Brit pop-inspired Chicago outfit come out swinging with plenty of lingering guitar licks, hazy psychedelic rhythms and even some [...]

Adele Before we get to see Adele perform on stage for the first time since undergoing a successful surgery to treat a vocal cord hemorrhage back in November at the 54th annual Grammy Awards this Sunday, we get to hear her sing for the first time since the surgery in a preview clip of her interview with Anderson Cooper for 60 Minutes. Video: Adele Talks "Hard" Recovery From Throat Surgery In '60 Minutes' Interview Preview The British soul singer proved [...]

Tweet vaso link Despite the mixed reviews in response to their new album, Paralytic Stalks , of Montreal took to the Jimmy Fallon stage and cranked out a nice version of the most accessible track from the album, "Dour Percentage." I'm still not sold on all of the band's output, but I do like this track. And Kevin Barnes looks about as normal as I've ever seen him. Paralytic Stalks is out now through the folks at [...]

For a project that wants to remain anonymous, Rhye sure is trying to make waves with its music. So, in support of the fantastically beautiful song " Open ," the project has seen fit to release a video performing the song. A video, yes, but it doesn't exactly feature the identities of those involved in Rhye. Rather, it seems to be shot from behind the musicians as an audience of one quietly listens with great intent.

Last night at the Ed Sullivan Theater, Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince rocked up to put in a touching and heart wrenching performance of their track "The Last Goodbye" on the Late Show with David Letterman . The sombre track was performed by a pink haired Mosshart and it's hard to look away as the gentle track takes you through a ride of emotions. Check it out at the top courtesy of The Audio Perv . I'm sure Rocko is enjoying the sex-hair in this video. The Kills ' "The Last Goodbye" [...]

Richard Judge, the frontman of I Dream in Colour and a previous celebrity guest reviewer for us here at TGTF, have revealed this solo cover of a lesser known track by Manchester Britpop masters Oasis. '(It's Good) to Be Free appeared as one of three B-sides to the 1994 single 'Whatever'. Watch the performance below that's sure to raise some hairs on the back of your neck in awe. Click here to view the embedded video.

Big Deal 's new video is for the song 'Talk', and the story plays on a metaphor for a broken relationship. (Well, that's my best guess anyway. A guy comes back to the girl he hurt, because he knows she's "safe" and can heal him.) It dawned on me that we never gave away a free track from the duo, 'Chair'. (You can grab the mp3 here. ) And since we're big about giving here at TGTF, I've also embedded a live performance of 'Chair' below as well. Enjoy! [...]

The Electric Soft Parade live at The Haunt, Brighton (4 Feb '12) // Words: Simon Opie There's something in the now customary live event of playing a classic album in its entirety. I've seen a few such gigs and they've always been good. But I can honestly say that this was a gig I'll never forget. It was essentially to celebrate [...]

Division of Laura Lee will be releasing a new 7" in coordination with their upcoming hometown gig in GBG on February 25. The a-side will feature "Cabin jam" and the flip will have the exclusive b-side "Hoover" .

Anna Calvi showed up on Daytrotter with some cool live tracks. The rendition of her "Love Won't Be Leaving" is my favorite here, what with the almost schizo shifts from sweet vocals and guitarwork to power distorted versions. The TV on the Radio cover, "Wolf Like Me," is good but a little too tame for my tastes since the original's so rocking.
