Fuck Buttons are finally back with a new album. Out 22nd of July in the UK (23rd for the US) the new record is titled Slow Focus and follows the brilliant 2009 release Tarot Sport; a wonderful building wall of distortion, pounding ... Continue reading
To be fair to Tom Meighan, the Spice Girls part of the Olympics closing ceremony was pretty grim, but that was a while ago now : “We were on tour during the Olympics but I saw some bits on telly. There were some horrifying bits, like The Spice Girls. That really didn’t do the place justice. “That was the most horrifying bit. It was just horrible. I think this makes Tom the first person to suggest that the Opening and Closing Ceremonies were somehow one horror after another. But why is he talking [...]
The Olympics , un quintette venu tout droit de Des Moines dans le midwest américain, nous offre avec leur L.A. Gold tiré de leur album Barfoot Blondes,4 min18 des rêveri es pop bienvenues. Bien emmené par l'intro chill des synthés, le morceau gagne en entrain à l'aide de riffs de guitare étincelants accompagnés par ce qu'il faut de basse chaleureuse. Par les temps qui courent, il serait dommage de s'en priver. Cet article The Olympics - L.A. Gold est apparu en premier sur Wall Of Sound .
Drummer/DJ Roger Taylor of Duran Duran looks back on 2012.
Maybe not a very festive band name, but their reworks of classic carols are AMAZING! Funky and hard-hitting. Check out this LOUD version of Come All Ye Faithful: Or this great Li'l Drummer Boy (see the video too!): More? Here!
Bradley Wiggins is raging that some of his Olympic chums are using their success to build careers. Apparently it's NOT RIGHT : The cycling legend has not been enjoying the procession of Team GB Olympic heroes basking in the glory of the chat show circuit. Wiggo said: “I’ve got a good management team who weren’t flogging me to death the moment the Olympics were over. “So I didn’t go on Jonathan Ross or Chatty Man, because it’s not what it’s ever been about.” Oddly, I didn't see this attitude in his book, A Man Who [...]
When you think of back-up bands, most people think of hired, faceless, musicians- This is not the case with The Sleeping Souls . Both live and in the studio, this band pumps the blood and oxygen into the heart and soul of Frank Turner's music. With an amazing energy and uncanny knack to compliment Frank's gifted singing and songwriting, we wanted to put the band that backs him into the front! Check out The Sleeping Souls! AMBY: How did the The Sleeping Souls come to be? Ben: Many moons [...]
What's wrong old man? Well, quite a lot actually. Alun Armstrong does a good job of playing a guy who seems to be suffering from dementia. He also has a boat. Directed by Ben Strebel, 'The Lost Buoys' is out on November 5. (Video trivia: the track was used by [Read more]

In the past two years, I have witnessed pretty much every single band that I loved between 1995 and 2004 embark on some kind of reunion or comeback. Some have been nostalgic fun, some have been 'just okay' and others have been lacklustre and trampled over their legacy. Then there has been a very,very slight [...]
When we heard Emeli Sande 's UK single "Heaven" last year, we became instant fans. In fact, we highlighted the 25-year-old Scot in our Popping Up series last December before we even knew if her debut LP, Our Version Of Events , would be getting a US release. Thankfully it did. Through her music and two coveted spots on the roster of performers for the London Olympics this past summer, Sande has been introducing herself to audiences on this side of the [...]
We were already fans of Knots , the new single from Glasgow's Olympic Swimmers before we heard it's B-Side; this wonderful remix of album-track Where It Snows from fellow-Scots Miaoux Miaoux . Their re-working is a slow-burning sprawl that takes the originals sweet and wistful vocal and guides it through seven-minutes of pulsing and occassionally blissful electronica. Knots is taken from the bands No Flags Will Fly LP (out now) and you can download it for free for a limited time via their [...]
Nike Zoom KD IV $95. Kobe VII System $140. Nike Hyperdunk $140. Nike Lebron X+ Sport Pack $270. September 29th.
No sophomore slump for Two Door Cinema Club, just a continuation of danceable pop we can sing along to.
As the Paralympics enter their final week, the whole London 2012 team can be congratulated for many things: excellent venues, great game makers (the army of volunteers), fabulous venues and amazing atmospheres. One thing that they might not be applauded for by many was the amazing variety of music that ...
The Olympics might be over for the year but Gregor Salto is bringing a piece of them back in his new video for "Azul." It features Dutch Olympic trampolinist, Rea Lenders performing a variety of tricks and while we love the artistry, we love the song more. It's a bit of a departure from the latin vibes we're so fond of but it's so beautiful and simple that we're too relaxed to miss them. "Azul" has officially cemented Salto's place as one of our favorite artists. We can't wait to see where he goes next on his musical journey and [...]
Not only did he perform at the Olympics opening ceremonies, but hot off playing the Reading and Leeds Festival, Frank Turner took the time to answer some questions in an interview with me! After his concert in Toronto I happened to enjoy Frank's music even more than before. Since I didn't have the chance to bump into him at that show, I was so thrilled when he agreed to do this interview! Not only is he an icon, but he's an idol to thousands of people. Check out this interview with Frank Turner! AMBY: [...]

Words by Ricky Summer Olympics, I miss you! Those two (oh so) brief weeks where I annoyingly screamed “U-S-A, U-S-A” at the top of my lungs at televisions in public spaces without feeling like an asshole ... it was awesome! In honor of the summer Olympics, I splashed this Sports Metaphors album review with as many actual sports metaphors as possible ... so I’m warning you, it might be an annoying read. For those inspired by the misadventures of Olivia Tremor Control , Of Montreal [...]
