Pilgrim Misery Wizard Poison Tongue/Metal Blade 14 February 2012 by Tom Dare While music obviously needs bands capable of doing radically new, different things, it also needs bands that refine existing styles and add their own voice. Pilgrim fall into the latter category – they're not going to spawn an entire new sound, but they are going to deafen, hypnotise and bewitch you in short order. [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. I have been meaning to introduce to this blog for a long time the mastermind behind "the most important Hollywood production in the history of cumbia" (see video above), and more importantly the one and only Cumbia Pilgrim in search of the Temple of San Juanita Chinola all over the world: RANDY SALAZAR JR . Hailing from a city rich in cumbia - Monterrey, Mexico - Randy Salazar Jr. is finally releasing his EP [...]

The world has changed a lot since the days of Busted. Remember them? They were the band that brought emo to the UK and paved the way for such wonderful acts as McFly. In the band's thankfully short career, they were incredibly successful but in 2003, frontman Charlie Simpson grew weary of the trite bouncy commercial pop and formed the band Fightstar, a completely different foray into post-hardcore heavy rock. Four albums later and Fightstar continue to embrace the deeper, more complex sound of a 'proper' band while retaining much of the melody-washed song writing that made Busted so engaging. [...]

Charlie Simpson is incredibly lucky to have had an album to release this week. Following last week's devastating fire at the Sony Warehouse in Enfield it has taken some very hard & quick work from those around him to ensure that he actually had some physical copies of Young Pilgrim available to replace those destroyed. The big question though is, was it all worth it? Well it would certainly seem so. What this album does, above all else, is demonstrate just how talented a musician Simpson is, and why he is so determined to [...]

Charlie Simpson já foi integrante de uma boyband ( Busted ) e está com os trabalhos pausados em sua banda de post-hardcore, Fightstar . Mas é nas influências em Jackson Browne , Bon Iver e Beach Boys que o britânico lança oficialmente amanhã seu primeiro álbum solo, Young Pilgrim , disponibilizado para streaming na última sexta-feira (12). Com a mudança de ares, Simpson vêm recebendo muitos comentários positivos da crítica. A BBC Music , por exemplo, justificou o passado musical de Charlie como um alicerce [...]

First Charlie Simpson sold shed loads of records with Busted. Next he realised his dreams in post-hardcore outfit Fightstar. And now he has decided that the next step in his musical evolution is, surprise, surprise... a solo record. What everyone is doing it these days. Simpson will always be remembered for those days when he jumped around singing about the 'Year 3000,' the Air Hostess' and of course the fact that he was the one with the dashingly bushy eyebrows. Yet it seems that Simpson will continue to attempt [...]

Charlie Simpson - Brit singer/songwriter, on hiatus from the band Fightstar, turns to a more acoustic troubadour style on his debut solo album...produced by Danton Supple (Coldplay, Doves) and influenced by Simpson heroes like Elliot Smith and Jeff Buckley, the music deftly straddles introspective coffee-house musings (with a double shot of stunning harmonies) and brisk, buskery tunecraft reimagined for a larger stage // Release : Young Pilgrim (August 16, U.K.) // Sounds like : While the intimate, close-quartered songs have a visceral immediacy, tracks like "Parachutes" and "Thorns" pull back the production curtain [...]

Wolfgang Gartner : Official | Facebook | Twitter There's a lot one can say about Wolfgang Gartner's music video for the track Illmerica. You can take the funny comedic route and point out how many deliberate inaccuracies were placed like the S.W.A.T. guard watching over Pocahontas or the sign in the forest that read "Do Not Place Unsolicited Advertising Materials On This Property." There are also the slap in the face depictions that make you think about the deeper historical implications like the pilgrims giving [...]

Read part 1 here Read part 2 here Feeling re-energised by my early night and a day off the grog I'm ready to throw myself into the Sunday fold with new-found gusto. I decide I must see as many bands as possible today to make up for my poor show yesterday. So after going to the Film & Music tent for the Q+A with the cast of The Inbetweeners (which suffers from microphone problems, stifling heat, and the fact that Tom bloody Jones can be heard in the [...]

This pretty much covers everything and is sort of accurate. Small pox, casinos, wars and bartering land for trinkets. Good times, good times. But honestly, little kids make everything more palpable. [ via ]
