TweetShare As I said with Noel’s first single from his first solo debut album since leaving Oasis, I had higher hopes for it than I did with Liam’s Beady Eye. The first track “The Death Of You And Me” was highly enjoyable for me and almost exactly what you’d expect from his solo stuff, especially if [...]

TweetShare Man, how much do you envy Zane Lowe? I envy him quite a lot. Tonight he debuted the first single from Kasabian‘s forthcoming album “Velociraptor!” – as you do. (Yes, not only is the album named after the widely-acknowledged Most Epic Dinosaur; it also includes an exclamation mark. That’s how you know it’s good.) We’ve [...]

TweetShare You may never have heard of Ride, but chances are you’ve heard of Death Cab For Cutie, so let me give a little insight as to who the former are. In the late 80′s and early 90′s there was burgeoning Indie scene in the UK, specifically London and Manchester that were churning out talent [...]

TweetShare As I mentioned last week when Noel’s teaser made its around t’interwebs, I’m one of the biggest Oasis fans on the planet. The dude’s a hero of mine, so I’m stoked for new music of his, especially after Beady Eye didn’t really….you know, make good music. Anyway, here it is, our first new solo [...]

TweetShareI might just be on of the biggest Oasis fans on the planet, and after the disappointing run of Liam’s Beady Eye my hopes are firmly set on Noel to realease something that’s actually worthwhile.  Here’s the teaser for his debut solo single “The Death Of You And Me”, out on August 21st.

TweetShare Picture by James Chadderton/Peter Hook   It’s fairly indescribable the impact that Joy Division have had on my life, but it’s fair to say it’s been nothing short of life-changing; one of those artists that literally do change your life, and personally it’s only happened with four others (Oasis, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Arcade [...]

TweetShare Before you get your panties in a bunch, this isn’t aimed at all bloggers and site owners, but I guess we’re all to be held accountable for the subject at hand, including myself. In three weeks the Seattle Indie-Folk-Pop-Alternative-Rock band Fleet Foxes will release their much-anticipated second album “Helplessness Blues”.  On the last day [...]

TweetShare So far it seems like the first few months of 2011 have been dominated either by atrociously hilarious pop (you know who I’m talking about), unbelievably awesome comebacks (Beastie Boys), or soul-crushing mixtapes. A recurring theme on the those mixtapes is the mixtaper’s ability to make trite and once-enjoyable-but-now-just-a-parody-of-themselves music, listenable again.  OFWGKTA‘s Frank Ocean released [...]

TweetShare Oasis, AC/DC, Kings of Leon, The Black Crowes, The Beach Boys, The Stooges…  The list of great bands with brothers in is quite a lengthy one but there’s always room for one more so ladies and gentlemen please welcome Kudos Fiasco to the fray. The brothers in this band are Benny and Dan Juengling [...]

TweetShare I’ve expressed my concerns about this album for a few months now and I’ve still not listened to it yet, even though it leaked and has been streaming online. With Oasis being possibly my favourite band of all time, I see this album as being nothing more than a knock-off of their last few [...]

TweetShare Hi, I’m Franky B Rockafeller and you might remember Sweet Lights from such posts as “[Introducing] – Sweet Lights” and “[Listen/Download] – New Song By Sweet Lights – “Scopitone Scopitone”. Or maybe you don’t, and that’s alright too, but I won’t let you off a third time though.  The song is gorgeous and you [...]

TweetShare The last song that Beady Eye revealed (“Four Letter Word”) I thought was fairly poor. Standard end-of-Oasis drivel, but this new song that was just played on various radio stations around the world is actually good, I can get behind this.  I still don’t hold out much hope for their album, it’ll probably have maybe [...]

TweetShare This is our first taster of any new music from anyone from Oasis since they split. Beady Eye is Liam’s new band which is pretty much just Oasis without Noel, and that’s kinda what they sound like too.  I’ve spoken about Oasis on here before and they’re by far the biggest musical influence I’ve [...]

TweetShare So far this is the third time I’ve done this and it might even be the third time you’ve had to read this. Almost three months ago I made a post looking for help with the site, people to write reviews or post new music etc and I got a couple of great guys [...]

TweetShare Poverty and the lack of culture is just as influential in breeding creativity as being cultured and well-off does.  It gives people a way out, a desire to succeed at anything if it means they can escape their life of ennui. Some of the greatest bands of all time have grown up with nothing other [...]
