Looking at their official website, I feel that I may [...]

Why Mando Diao isn’t an all around household name yet, I just don’t know. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to hear them, and you like your indie rock punk sounding bands that have a tendency to shift from one sound to the next, then listen to them now! You’re missing out! If you have [...]

The Fray have been making their way up the charts recently with two singles off of their debut album How to Save a Life hitting the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100.

We’ve been lucky to be able to watch the Electric Proms on the BBC’s interactive tv service and have enjoyed sets by Paul Weller and Jamiroquai.
