So… there are some big cancellations going around. But that in no way means that there is nothing to do tonight to fulfill your live music needs! Check out all of the choices you have from tonight’s line up below. We Were Promised Jetpacks have landed in Los Angeles and they will be performing at The Music Box . Royal Bangs and Bear Hands will open up the show. Bouncing Souls will play their second night at the Troubadour tonight. This show is sold out [...]

It sucks when a great song has a mediocre video. We Were Promised Jetpacks ' "Quiet Little Voices" is the kind of song that creeps into your head, slowly and seductively, and after a while of being familiar with the song, you suddenly find yourself wanting to hear it. At least that's what happened with me. To be honest with you, after sitting through a few We [...]
My apologies for not posting this earlier in the day, though I suspect that anyone out there reading this who would want to go to this show already knows about it. Anyway, let me just say this - the best rock show going on in Chicago this week (and, yep, I'm including the Dinosaur Jr. show) is happening tonight at the Empty Bottle and features three incredible Scottish bands - The Twilight Sad , Brakesbrakesbrakes , and We Were Promised Jetpacks . I honestly can't put into words how excited I am for [...]
wieder mal eine junge schottische band, die wie eine melange aus allen anderen schottischen bands klingt - aber trotzdem nicht langweilig. monumentale melancholie á la glasvegas trifft auf ungestüme unbekümmertheit á la the view. oben gibt's das video zur aktuellen single "quiet little voices", und über's popblog den song "ships with holes will sink" als gratis-download.
Good timing can prove crucial when releasing a first album and Edinburgh’s We Were Promised Jetpacks couldn’t have timed the release of their debut LP These Four Walls much better. In the post-breakthrough hiatus of Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad, indie aficionados have been pining for another tartan-clad troupe upon which to pin their adulation. So fresh from successful releases from their aforementioned FatCat label mates now it's the turn of the Glaswegian four-piece. The album bursts open with bristling opening track, 'It's Thunder And Lightning'. Appropriately titled, it begins with a single chain-sawing guitar [...]

Another video-based post here. We were sent the debut album, THESE FOUR WALLS , by the Recommender-flavoured tasty treats that are WE WERE PROMISED JETPACKS . (I know we keep saying it, but that is quite simply the best name for a band for fucking ages!!!) Why do we love them so much? Well, because it's been so long since we've had a band that have allowed the music to do ALL the talking. [...]
