New and upcoming artist – Disclosure

Origin: Surrey, England Disclosure are the British duo of brothers, Howard and Guy Lawrence and are definitely the one to look out for in 2013. With a mix of warm synth, deep bass and fast tapped beats, the guys recreate a vibe of future/house/garage music, but it’s definitely not something I’ve heard before. They are possibly the youngest and fastest rising DJ’s at the ages of 21 and 18 but damn, they’re good at it!…

Supergroup in the making: Pearl Jam, Guns n Roses and Screaming Trees members in

There’s a new player in the select club of supergroups – with members of Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses and Screaming Trees already joining in. Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready has joined forces with former Guns N’ Roses member Duff McKagan and former Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin for a brand new but still unnamed band. I’ve been waiting to see Duffy play something like this in years, and when Pearl Jam head guitarist and Screaming…

ANNA – The Courteeners

They’re back with a third album and it’s all guitar riffs, synths, and rhyming lyrics! But what’s so different about it to the rest? Well it is quite a different approach by the boys; compared to the 2008 debut St Jude and 2010 album Falcon. Being cut from the same cloth, I guess you won’t be surprised to hear it as a combination of the style of these two albums. The album opens with a…

Scott Weiland finds out he was fired from STP from the press

So yesterday we told you that Stone Temple Pilots announced they fired their singer Scott Weiland.  Well, apparently, no one told Scott because, according to him, he found out the way the rest of us did: “I learned of my supposed ‘termination’ from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press.” Ouch. What’s just as interesting is the question I posed regarding STP minus Weiland: Can STP be STP without him?…

Justin Timberlake and Marcus Mumford work together for new Coen brothers flick

timberlake-mumford

In rather surprising news, I’ve just learned that Justin Timberlake paired up with Mumford and Sun’s leading vocalist and songwriter, Marcus Mumford, to work on the soundtrack for the latest Coen brothers movie. Now, I’ve heard of much more preposterous collaborations before, not to say I’m having great expectations out of this either. The movie itself, called Inside Llewyn Davis, is centered around the character of an aspiring folk musician amid the 1960’s bustling New York…

Daughter- ‘Medicine’

I confess that although I heard about this band not long ago, I never actually listened to them straight away. HUGE mistake. It took me finding out that one of their songs was featured my favourite TV show to make me sit down and listen. I’m glad I did. Daughter is made up of Elena Tonra for the vocals and Igor Haefeli on guitar. I think what first attracted me to this band, after listening…
