Taking Over The World 1D If there was an Olympics of boy bands then One Direction would be breaking world records all over the place. We’d put Liam Payne in for the boxing, Niall Horan for gymnastics, and Harry Styles, well it can only be the 100 metres, being the Casanova superstar that he is. Two years ago they were unknown, but after storming to the UK X Factor final in…
Last Friday, Lady Gaga, now 26, posted on her facebook page a picture with a tiny tattoo on her wrist, that seems to represent her next album’s name, which is: “ARTPOP”. She specifies, in a twitter post, that she wants “ARTPOP” to be written with capitals : make sure when writing about my new album/project ARTPOP that you CAPITALIZE the title, *its all in the details* good morning twitter! Lady Gaga…

Matt and Kim’s new single “Let’s Go” is available now and is a mixture of their original indie pop summery beats and calming vocals. The ooh’s and ahh’s definitely make the track do what it does best; it makes you want to get into your car, drive, roll your windows down, and “not care”. Which is, coincidentally, what the lyrics state Matt & Kim want to do. Have a listen and check out the video…
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED) is a name created by the cleverly imaginative Orlando Higginbottom. Even his name oozes originality and creativity. You may have heard his song “Garden” which is featured on this album, backing the recent Nokia Lumia advert. He is definitely a new artist that wades in the mainstream and strides in the underground. Listening to this album for the first time after only hearing his song “Garden” made me realise his…

This is probably one of the most outlandish things I’ll say for a very long time: I like an American Idol alum, plain and simple. In fact, I just may like her a lot. For those who didn’t tune in to the tenth season of the show, which features perennially unoriginal talent (but talent nonetheless), Haley Reinhart, a Chicago native with an edge, finished third to charming country teens Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery. On Idol, Ms. Reinhart left…
The 60’s brought us the one of the original “boy bands”, The Monkees. Davy Jones was a pinup star in my sister’s room, and I am sure he was covering plenty of other walls all around the world. His boyish looks and his quirky cuteness made him a TV and pop star. The Monkees were the biggest thing on TV at the time, and Davy Jones was on top of it all. You may even…
Let me tell you – this album is bizarre. REALLY bizarre. it’s a pop-opera based on a crazy novel about Atlantis from the late 1800s, with a style that mixes up hundreds of musical sub-genres in each song. Each individual element seems too far-fetched to enjoy, but when combined something wonderful and twisted is created. Speaking of the combined pieces, Pepe Deluxé describe themselves as “an inter-continental orchestra,” but the two “conductors” of this orchestra are…
California based four piece KilR are prepping to hit the mainstream and finally make it big, or at least that’s what they’re hoping for, once with the release of their first official music video for “Crazzzy”. Frankly, with their current attitude and work ethic, I don’t see why they can’t move in on the radio guitar rock niche in the close future as a dominant force. The video itself, works around the same radio motif…
