I can’t quite believe it but Rihanna, with a little help from Jay-Z, is still Number 1 in the UK singles chart with that bloody record ‘Umbrella’. That’s 10 consecutive weeks that the R’n’B diva has been sat in the top spot, and I’ve got to wonder at this point, who on earth is buying […]
The Oxjam festival is a month long UK wide musical extravaganza organised by the charity Oxfam. It started last year and the first event took place during October 2006 raising over £500,000.
This year’s event is due to be even bigger, with 3,000 gigs and events happening all over the country during the whole of […]
Zutons guitarist Boyan Chowdhury left the band on July 13th in a supposedly amicable split caused by that old favourite “musical differences“. Well now, just 10 days later, he’s formed a new band called ‘The Gravity Trap’, a completely Liverpudlian affair.
Boyan joins fellow scousers Graeme Robinson, formerly of The Stands, Luke Thompson from The […]
Last Monday, I announced a week long contest where you could win the new Prince CD Planet Earth. I only had 5 entries, and 3 of them were one person! Is Prince’s popularity dropped that low, or have I just got very few readers? Anyway, I put the entries in to a big hat and […]
This is the new Maximo Park single ‘Girls Who Play Guitars’, which isn’t released in the UK until 20th August, but I have the video and an exclusive review already here on Brit Music Scene.
Maximo Park are a band you either love or hate, there doesn’t seem to be much middle ground at all. I’m […]
The Klaxons are a weird bunch, when I first heard them I wasn’t too impressed, but over the last few months their brand of art rock/new rave has converted me. Now I’m a fan. There’s something brilliant about them which I can’t quite put my finger on. They seem amateurish but you know when it […]
I bet Daniel Radcliffe hates that title, he’s now known as Harry Potter more so than Dan, or Mr Radcliffe, which must suck. Although I’m sure the many millions of dollars he’s earnt from the films will more than make up for it. Anyway, I’m rambling, Daniel Radcliffe, the ACTOR who plays Harry Potter on […]
The Arctic Monkeys bandwagon rolls on and seemingly grows daily. Fresh from being nominated for the 2nd year in a row for the Mercury Music Prize, they have announced the full list of dates for their forthcoming tour of America and Canada.
The Sheffield band will be starting their tour on the other side of the […]
I’ve got a sneaking admiration for Mark Ronson, the man who has put out a whole album of remixes and taken the credit for them. When I first heard the album, I wanted to hate it but couldn’t, it’s just damned good. This is the cover of Kaiser Chiefs ‘Oh My God’ featuring Lily Allen. […]
The Mercury Music Prize nominees were announced yesterday, and some of the artists have given their reactions to being nominated. It must be fashionable to feign ignorance of what an award is about, even though you know secretly, they are all desperate to win.
Natasha Khan, lead singer for Bat for Lashes, whose Fur and Gold […]
