I was thinking about Those Dancing Days at the weekend. Was wondering when we would hear something from them again. And now, we know what they were doing since In Our Space Hero Suits. ‘Fuckarias’, contrary to its name, contains no swear words, but sees a lot of attitude from [Read more]
So apparantly, despite it being a stellar album, its release last week has come too late to be considered for NME’s albums of 2010 list, but Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday is a brilliant record. She played on Jimmy Kimmel’s show in America last night, bringing along the poppiest song on [Read more]
Zane Lowe premiered the new track from Noah And The Whale on his show last night. It is happier than the last album, The Last Days Of Spring and keeps all the best bits from it. Charlie Fink’s vocals are enough to make you swoon, and he preaches about making [Read more]

Altered Zones should be one of your first port of calls every day if you want to discover new music. Just last week, they introduced me to Games’ ‘Shadows In Bloom’ which is one of the finest things you will hear this year. And this week, they pointed out Sea [Read more]
Sundays were made for easy listening. Someone should have told Britches that before I pressed play and they blew my ears. Britches are a three-piece hailing from St Louis, Missouri, who excel at what is termed noise-rock. Their five-track ep, available for free on Bandcamp, and available to stream below, [Read more]
