TweetShare  Buy the album from Amazon – Vinyl / MP3 / CD Tapes ‘n Tapes have had a strange journey so far – they began as a buzz band with hype pumped full of saline solution by Pitchfork and an appearance at SXSW. Then they signed to XL Recordings and released a second album, which [...]

TweetShare If you’ve been reading the site for the last week or two you’ll have seen me posting everything new by Friendly Fires that I could get my veiny little hands on. My first reaction to hearing “Live hose Days Tonight”, the first piece of new music from the guys since “Kiss Of Life”, was lukewarm until [...]

TweetShare Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? Another new song from Friendly Fires in the space of 24 hours?  kthankyouplz. Yesterday we heard “Hawaiian Air”, the second new tune from their upcoming second album “Pala”, and today they’ve released “Blue Cassette”, another dance-athonic-anthem-onic-athonic-onic-athon.  The track’s the closest thing I’ve heard so far to anything from their first album, maybe more [...]

TweetShare It’s been a long-time-coming, for me it’s been too long, since Friendly Fires released new music from a new album and now that wait is over. It’s been two and a half years since their self-titled debut dropped and almost four years since their “Cross The Line” EP, the tunes that first introduced me [...]

TweetShare I might complain about the amount of shite that gets sent to me, but I do equally gush when something magical turns up in my inbox, as I’m sure you know already if you’ve been reading this for more than a week. Nick, the dude in charge of Bravestation sent me their music almost [...]
