Mike Scott has been playing music in the folk, celtic and sometimes rock style Waterboys since 1983 when he formed the band. After [...]

Hayward Williams‘ Another Sailor’s Dream is a freewheeling, shotgun wedding of folk, blues and rootsy country rock, all filled with a gorgeous blend of ache, gristle and whiskey-toned gruffness. The album is comprised of songs that walk a perfect line between the sweet and bitter, and the sentimental and cynical, and is perfectly bookended by [...]

When I first heard “Shine On” by Jet I immediately thought of Oasis during the chorus of the song. Another observation that I’ve made is that sometimes when I see Jet’s lead singer, even though he looks nothing like him, there’s just something about Nic Cester that reminds me of Bono from U2. These observations [...]

With Stevie Nicks’ Fleetwood Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham currently on tour, I wonder if this could be leading to a new Fleetwood Mac tour/album release in the near future?
They seem to have the best of both worlds. [...]

The Horrors are gearing up for a UK tour and if you haven’t heard them yet, why not give them a listen on their Myspace page?
Their music has a vintage punk, rock and surf sound and at times is reminiscent of The Doors and The Damned. With their fashionable looks and strange and unique [...]

Lindsey Buckingham is on tour this month and early February as he continues to support his latest album Under the Skin.
I’ve been enjoying Under the Skin with it’s eclectic mix of sounds including eery vocal effects on some tracks reminiscent of a rustic Roy Orbison. I’ve never seen his other band, the legendary Fleetwood Mac [...]
