The Wombats - Backfire At The Disco
2008-04-14 17:08:00 The Wombats are firing out singles thick and fast at the moment. Their latest, Backfire At The Disco , continues in a similar vein to Moving To New York. In sharp contrast to their ode to insomnia, Backfire At The Disco is a relentless Indie anthem with healthy dose of floor filling goodness. Following in the ... More About: Indie Music , The Wombats
The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be
2008-04-14 15:07:00 I like The Kooks , I really do. But do you get the impression that Always Where I Need To Be isn’t quite the stunning leap forward you expect from a band about to release their second album? After having been fed a diet of She Moves In Her Own Way and Naive, I was kind of ... More About: Indie Music
New Motley Crue: Saints Of Los Angeles
2008-04-14 14:27:00 The word on the street today is that Motley Crue have a new single in the pipeline called Saints Of Los Angeles . Apparently we have to get down on our knees and pray to them. I’ve listened to the track (some kind soul has put a copy on YouTube) and can say I’m shocked. This is ... More About: News , Rock Music
Glastonbury Fans, Stop Moaning About Jay-Z
2008-04-14 11:53:00 Dear Glastonbury Goers I’m already fed up listening to the “we don’t want hip-hop at our Indie lovefest” nonsense. This is Jay-Z we’re talking about. What would you rather have, another Kaiser Chiefs/Arctic Monkeys knock-off? Indie acts are a dime a dozen these days and far less interesting because the scene is flooded with them. But still ...

UK Pop Chart - 13 April 2008
2008-04-14 00:08:00 Alright, we’ve got a lot of big names in this week’s chart - Madonna, Kanye, Mariah, Leona and Chris Brown. Not much movement among the established artists, and we’ve got one bizarre addition to the chart in the guise of September. That’s right, a month of the year has released a single. The world’s gone mad! Estelle ... More About: April , Top Ten , Chart , The Charts , 2008
Will.I.Am and Cheryl Cole Collaborate On ?Heartbreaker?
2008-04-12 01:18:00 A bit like the folks at Urban Review, my first thought when I saw the video for will.i.am and Cheryl Cole ’s single, Heartbreaker was “Hell, British artists must be hot in the States right now.” My second thought was “When did Cheryl Tweedy start calling herself Cheryl Cole? Did I miss a memo on that ... More About: News , Girls Aloud , Collaborate , Black Eyed Peas
Who The Hell Are?Paramore?
2008-04-11 18:21:00 What, you don’t know who Paramore are? Well, we’re here to help. Paramore are a four piece rock band from Franklin, Tennessee. They’re fronted by a distinctively red-headed young lady called Hayley Williams, and the most appropriate description for their music is a kind of emo-infused pop/rock. The band officially formed back in 2004, but had been ... More About: Rock Music , Hell

The Latest Guns N Roses News?
2008-04-10 23:37:00 It seems that Dr Pepper has had a kind of laxative effect on Axl Rose , because there’s been a ‘run’ of Guns N Roses news in the last few days. Rumours of a reality TV show and speculation that Axl has already delivered an album to Geffen. A completed album. The Axl Rose Show? Idolator are skeptical ... More About: News , Heavy metal
Natasha Bedingfield ft Sean Kingston - Love Like This
2008-04-09 22:29:00 This new phase of Natasha Bedingfield ’s career is an interesting one. Seemingly she’s out to make it in the US of A in a big, big way. Critics have picked up on this, and I’ve read more than a few comments that suggest Love Like This is targetted to hit a large market very quickly and ... More About: Duets , Pop Music
Black Kids - I?m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You
2008-04-09 22:00:00 It’s been kind of hard to ignore this tune recently. I’m given to make comparisons with Alphabeat for the colourful video, the boy-girl vocal blend and the shouty, upbeat chorus. And given the foaming mouthed rave review I gave Alphabeat, you can take it for granted that Black Kids are every bit as vibrant and infectious ... More About: Dance , Boyfriend , Indie Music
Pete Doherty Goes To Jail (Finally)
2008-04-09 14:56:00 It seems the British justice system could no longer allow Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty to remain at large. And no, not because he might release another album. It’s because Pete repeatedly failed to show up for probation hearings among other things that weren’t disclosed by his manager, Adrian Hunter. Doherty was jailed on 8th April for a ...

A Completely Fictitious History Of Metallica
2008-04-08 23:38:00 Welcome, gentle Metalhead, to a whistlestop tour of Metallica ’s long and winding career. The band who brought Thrash to the world. Four guys who delivered some of the most iconic metal albums of the 1980’s (and early 90’s). Think of this as the ‘Behind The Music’ with a difference - this is the untold story of ...

New Paramore Single Will Be ?That?s What You Get?
2008-04-07 22:37:00 I may be losing count, but the fourth single from Paramore ’s excellent Riot album will be That’s What You Get. According to NME, the single is released on 12 May 2008 and the CD release will have a copy of the promotional video for the song. There’s also some news on the rescheduled UK concert dates: The ...

Madonna Sucks. Or Is It Warner Music?
2008-04-07 22:25:00 It bugs the hell out of me when the biggest artists in the world (or their representatives) refuse to embrace the Internet. Go on, try to watch a video of Madonna ’s collaboration with Justin Timberlake on the web - you’ll find it hard to locate one. As fast as helpful music fans put the video on ...

Jack Johnson - Hope - Single Review
2008-04-07 17:28:00 Let’s face it, Jack Johnson hasn’t made a name for himself as a musical trailblazer. His forte seems to be in melodic, laid back acoustic tunes for folks to chillax to. Yes, I said ‘chillax’. And unlike the evil-voiced castrato that is James Blunt, Johnson has a voice that’s pleasant to listen to. I don’t ... More About: Review , Hope , Singer
Beyonce & Jay-Z Get Married In Low-Key Wedding Shocker!
2008-04-07 14:27:00 It took a whole weekend to recover from the shock - Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles ? Married? And not a magazine deal or cash-in anywhere in sight? Isn’t that fresh? Two of the biggest stars on the planet, and they shirked any kind of publicity surrounding their wedding in favour of having an intimate ceremony with ... More About: News , Weddings , Wedding
REM Score A Number One Album With Accelerate
2008-04-07 13:12:00 It pleases me no end to tell you that REM have reclaimed their throne with a number one album in the UK charts this week. Accelerate was supposed to mark a return to REM’s early sound, and the punters have voted with their wallets by going out and buying it. I’ve chatted to a few people ...

UK Pop Chart - 6 April 2008
2008-04-07 12:54:00 …and Estelle has the #1 position locked down for the third week in a row! American Boy is a pretty deserving Number 1 anyway, especially when you consider that only other worthwhile single - Chris Brown’s With You - seems to be sliding down the chart at the moment.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse?s Toast To Get A Release (Finally)
2008-04-03 18:33:00 Rather than pump out new albums, Neil Young ’s spent much of his time lately churning out hidden gems from his back catalog. The latest news from Young’s camp is that he’s dusted off an album called Toast (which has nothing to do with grilled bread - it’s the name of the studio they recorded it ...

Calvin Harris ?Roasts? Heathrow Staff
2008-04-03 15:00:00 Of the funnier news reports today, Scottish DJ Calvin Harris has declared a Jihad of his own upon the staff of Heathrow’s new Terminal 5. Why? Well, they’ve only gorn and lost his luggage, haven’t they. Nothing unusual about that then, except that contained in his luggage were all the recordings for his new ...

Velvet Revolver Fire Scott Weiland?
2008-04-02 14:16:00 I’m hearing reports that Velvet Revolver have fired frontman Scott Weiland after a few weeks of turmoil which began when Weiland told fans at a gig that they were watching the last ever Velvet Revolver concert. Fire d? That’s a funny way of describing it. In case Slash & Co didn’t notice, Weiland had resumed his role ... More About: News , Rock Music
New Chris Brown Single, With You
2008-04-01 23:43:00 Fair play to Chris Brown . As I mentioned in my chart rundown, I had Chris written off as a 2nd rate Usher wannabe. With You is Chris’ most memorable single to date, with a nice fusion of R&B and acoustic guitar that brings back memories of the Nelly/Tim McGraw collaboration, Over And Over Again - smooth ...

Love Music Hate Racism Carnival 2008 - Lineup and Info
2008-04-01 16:55:00 Back in the musical primordial soup that was 1978, Rock Against Racism held an event to draw attention to “rising xenophobia and racism” stemming mostly from the National Front at that time. And though you may think times have changed, there is still a worrying racist subculture in Britain. 30 years later and the anniversary carnival ...

U2 Sign Deal With Live Nation
More articles from this author:2008-04-01 13:41:00 Isn’t it funny that Live Nation barely crossed our radar a few years ago, and yet here they are, merrily signing up major artists like they were collecting stamps! Live Nation’s signing of U2 isn’t nearly as far reaching as their arrangement with Madonna - they’ll merely be looking after “merchandising, digital and branding rights” for ...
