Robyn is a Swedish singer just coming on to the UK scene, and her latest single, “With Every Heartbeat”, (a collaboration with Kleerup) has been going around my head for days. She reached number 1 in the UK charts this month and I can hear why [...]

There’s quite an uproar surrounding Calvin Harris‘ UK contest “Merrymaking at Your Place” where Calvin is attempting to set a new world record for the most house parties happening simultaneously across the country than ever before. The event is set to take place on Saturday, August 18th 2007.
The contest has caused an absolute media frenzy [...]

Greasy twang, driving rhythms, a sense of melody and brevity contribute to a sound that draws on influences from the entirety of rock and roll’s storied history. This is The Bosch, a New York City quartet who sounds something like what might happen “if Brian Wilson, Dick Dale, and Joey Ramone [...]

Bitter:Sweet is set to release their latest album, ‘The Remix Game’ on August 7th, 2007. The Remix Game is a collection of songs from their debut album, ‘The Mating Game’ (2006), remixed by some of the top mixologists, such as Thievery Corporation, AtJazz, Skeewiff, Nicola Conte, and Fort Knox Five.

Cool band alert! The Blood Arm is a rockin’ band from LA, and their sound travels far - at times eerily reminiscent of Scottish band Franz Ferdinand, who happen to be fans of the band…and wow these guys have rocked my socks off. The best way to listen to The Blood Arm’s “Suspicious Character” single [...]

Neva Geoffrey’s melodies have come together to form torch songs that take you to the depths of obscurity while remaining in your heart. With a record that emits her journey, you’ll remember the now distanced moods that have once possessed you. The tender in her voice is found weaving through guitar strings, sweeping piano pop, [...]

There is so much to be said about Nine Inch Nails that as much as I hate to admit it, it’s all pretty much over my head as to the amount of work they are involved in, let alone Trent Reznor projects as a separate entity.
Looking at their official website, I feel that I may [...]
