A friend of mine who had never before been exposed the Yeah Yeah Yeahs once heard Fever to Tell blaring through my headphones, only to describe it as heavy metal. The statement, a horrendous misattribution, still goes to show just how far the New York trio has come from their roots. The band’s fourth album, Mosquito , a self-described take on the genre of soul, is markedly toned down but somehow remains distinctly their own proving them chameleons that are in it for the long haul. The unmistakable stamps of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are [...]
Now this is a weird case. If I was asked to sum up what the Delta Riggs did, I’d probably put them on the bluesier side of the garage rock revival. If I were to tell you what I thought the Delta Riggs were best at, I’d say “every time they try something besides bluesy garage rock revival.” This might be the only band I’ve ever heard who might be better with their diversions than with their main sound. See, they kind of hit the peak as far as that sort of thing goes with “America,” [...]
Since lead screaming-verse-bits vocalist Dan Brown left the band last year, this quintessential angst-pop band lost a crucial organ in their angry venting. Namely, the screamy bits of their songs. Left in their wounded cannon of tantrum-tricks are their signature half-tempo Biffy Clyro -esque choruses, and, of course, the slow motion videos. Their latest single, 'Machine' , makes heroic use of both. Where before they might, say, dramatically walk away from a parent throwing paper at them, this promo has them turning their power-montage fury onto a new target - keyboards and phones, and, stuff. [...]
SISTERS CocoRosie are harder to pin down than a greased hog on new LP Tales Of A Grass Widow. The globetrotting American siblings have a real European influence to their work - not least in their vocal stylings which sound like a mutant cross between Sinead O'Connor and Bjork, both distinctive and compelling. And their music, well, it's like a bastard cross between freak folk and brooding urban - like the soundtrack to a robot lost in a forest, or a wandering goblin in a metropolis. You get the idea, it's odd. But still it's oddly [...]
By Kenny McMurtrie May 22, 2013 The Wicker Man & Stonehenge - two things you can bet are in most peoples' top tens of 'things you associate with folk music'. Cliches though have to begin somewhere but, just because this very enjoyable album starts off with a song that brings the aforementioned film to mind and its release was marked by band leader Stephen Cracknell taking a three day walk to the latter stone feature, that doesn't mean this has all ben done before. [...]
It is way too tempting to douse this review in whisky, hang it up across a hemp washing line, and blast it with buckshot whilst gargling engine grease as my eyes roll back in my head. But that's what Murder By Death do. By Andrew Vernon
El canadiense de Fairmont aka Jake Fairley acaba de publicar nuevo EP para el sello berlines de Beachcoma , 2 excelentes pistas, grabadas en una sola toma, en directo, con mínima post- producción, tal como suenan en directo, el sonido tal y como es, con la espontaneidad del directo, acompañando a las 2 composiciones, 2 vídeos para promocionar estas 2 composiciones, unas pistas con un guiño, homenaje a Barcelona? el barrio de Poble Sec y la calle Manso de la ciudad condal???

Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have, needless to say, predominated over the music news for the duration of this past month or so, even making deathly black headlines in the wake of the untimely demise of sporadic collaborator Anthony Moore, aka Romanthony. The vocalist eminently immortalised on what remains arguably their most stellar hit to date in One More Time, it therefore feels somewhat fitting that the truly blinding instances of galactic brilliance here compiled should be those which feature the multifarious, if in some cases questionable vocal talents of contemporary players from Julian Casablancas, to Noah Lennox. [...]
"Grim Brides we are Denmark band. We found this internet blog on website and see Bristol doing excellent band at this moment. you like "fuck noisy music"?, you can feature Grim Brides on you blog site." Every now and again you get hit by something so hard that everything else around you disappears into a sea of black stars and white light. This happened to me whilst in a giant owl piñata in Brighton on the weekend after my head was thwacked by a guitar. I was fine, but [...]
Vodun continues where previous band Invasion left, producing catchy pop songs with stupidly sludgy guitars matched with quirky drums and deliciously dreamy vocals. - By Richard Collins
By Rob Aldam May 22, 2013 There has always been a touch of the theatrical about Glasgow’s Sparrow and the Workshop . Their previous outings Crystals Fall and Spitting Daggers mixed playful folk with a sleazier rock side. The Irish/American, Welsh and Scottish trio seem to have grown into their sound since they began back in 2008. Murderopolis sees any tentativeness or uncertainty dissipate to be replaced by a strong sense of direction and focus. They seem to have finally shaken-off the shackles of nostalgic pining and [...]
Deafheaven Sunbather Deathwish Inc 10 June 2013 by Raziq Rauf Do you ever get the feeling that you're being made fun of? That unease where some obnoxious prick knows something that you don't and you don't really know what to do because you're not sure. They're being too subtle, but you know it's not quite right – it's too unfamiliar. You don't know quite how to fight back because you know that if you say the wrong thing, they'll just laugh at you. Those obnoxious pricks are [...]

Now the London-based trios whole second The post Is Tropical - I'm Leaving appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

This Misery Garden present us with a great hard rock album that combines melody with riffs.It's a great radio rock album.... but is that a good or bad thing? - By John Sturm
Words: Jordan Andrew 'Waterloo Road' After taking a “school holiday”, 'Waterloo Road' is back to finish off the term and as usual it is never plain sailing. This BBC hit show has had more changes than the Sugababes over the years, with teachers coming and going as well as moving the school all the way to Scotland, which in my opinion still never makes sense. [...]
Islet | Triangulation Station Words by Rosie Ramsden Latest single from Islet , ' Triangulation Station ’, from upcoming album Released By The Movement , is almost-six-minutes of loaded post-punk guitar loops, near-infinite vocal layering, and wondrous Welsh psychedelic pop euphoria. The track, recorded by Stephen Black (AKA Sweet Baboo ), will be released on band member Mark Thomas’s own Shape Records label, on limited 12” vinyl and download. The adventurous single will come with with three additional exclusive [...]
