After the surprising announcement that Mumford and Sons are going on an indefinite hiatus, frontman Marcus Mumford’s contribution to the Inside Llewyn Davis soundtrack has been revealed online. ‘Fare Thee Well (Dink’s Song)’ can be heard above, and to keep it short – it’s a nice song, a good collaboration between Oscar Isaac, who plays the lead role in the new Coen Brothers film. Not a big stray from what you’d get from Mumford and…
Christine McVie, who quite Fleetwood Mac in 1998 rejoined the band on stage in London to perform ‘Don’t Stop’ with the band. In the public’s frantic applause, they started singing ‘Don’t stop’. Another former band member, Peter Green – who left the group in 1970 – was in the crowd for the show, and Stevie Nicks dedicated the song ‘Landslide’ to the founding member of Fleetwood Mac. However, she will only sing with the band…
Peter Darling described Uh Huh Huh to me as ‘a simple nostalgic pop song under 3 mins – standard.’ That’s the thing about songs that just work. They often are short and simple, a pleasing melody around basic chord structures, the right notes and the right words all working together to sound like the feeling of being barefoot in the grass, or seeing eyes that smile, or hearing church bells in the distance, or responding to the delight…
Given that they are about to kick of their UK tour to support new album Motto, the one subject to rave reviews, 8/10 ratings and general buzz, Katie Harkin, founder, writer, singer and guitarist of Sky Larkin would be forgiven for feeling nervous or frantic, buzzing about the attention she is receiving and anxious as to how to perform to the level of the bar that has been set. As it is we are sat downstairs in The…
American metalheads Iced Earth are working on their new album, ‘Plagues of Babylon’, which will hit the shelves in January 2014 via Century Media Records. Now, they released the album art (which was done by Eliran Kantor and the track list). According to vocalist/guitarist Jon Schaffer, a great album needs a great cover: “This is a seriously heavy album with a seriously brutal album cover. I’m sure it will go down as a classic in…
A new video from the band’s third album ‘Holy Fire’ was released. It’s a good song, a ncie video, nothign really out of the ordinary, just good music from the Foals. The single will be out on October 28, and meanwhile, the Foals are working on releasing a recording of their gig at London’s Royal Albert Hall earlier this year on CD and DVD. They also recently added three more dates to their UK and…
Madonna is really rarely seen doing covers – she has a great repertoire herself, and, let’s face it: she’ll always be one of the biggest artists around. But even when she does do cover, Elliott Smith is not exactly what you’d expect – but that’s exactly what she did. She covered ‘Between The Bars’ at a launch event for her new short film secretprojectrevolution last night. Watch the performance below. Madonna appeared at New York’s…
After 4 long years of hiatus, the prog legends are back in business, with a new line-up: guitarist and mastermind Robert Fripp announced the big news in his latest diary entry, noting that the band will now feature a seven member lineup. The addition is remarkable; to be more precise, the lineup will feature Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison, second drummer Bill Rieflin of R.E.M, virtuoso bassist Tony Levin, third drummer Pat Mastelotto, Mel Collins…
Keegan Tawa is an electronic artist who is currently a student at State College in Pennsylvania. Tawa’s training in jazz and contemporary music theory gives him the ability to put a unique spin on house, disco, and electronic music. He recently released a new song called “Return To Matter,” which features Kathleen Warner on vocals. It’s a great dance track but also features more laid back sections that give the song room to breath in…
It’s very reminiscent of “Miami Vice” – Drake is really going for it in “Hold On We’re Going Home” featuring Canadian duo Majid Jordan. Actually, it’s more a short movie then a video clip, but featuring A$AP Rocky and Chicago rapper Fredo Santana, it’s definitely worth your time.
