Arctic Monkeys Gig Review | Manchester General GMex Centre - December 12 2007

The day finally arrived, when all that effort that was shed in trying to secure tickets to see the Arctic Monkeys live came to fruition. Not my effort actually, but my girlfriend’s who got up early one morning a few months back so as to be first in the online queue.
We arrived in the middle […]

Led Zeppelin Triumph At Reunion Concert

No, I wasn’t there… unfortunately, but I’ve read all I can on the fans and critics reviews, and need to give my report on how the much anticipated reunion concert went.
It’s London, it’s December 10th 2007, and it’s freezing cold, but no-one cares because the remaining members of Led Zeppelin are about to take to […]

Brit Music Scene Nominated For ‘Best Niche Music Blog’ | Anyone Up For a Quick Vote?

Brit Music Scene is now six months old, and it’s been quite a ride so far.
We’ve had Led Zeppelin getting back together, along with the less thrilling Spice Girls.
We’ve had some great tunes, some crap ones, and some “meh” ones. We’ve also had Radiohead experimenting with offering albums as free downloads.
And now, we […]

Maximo Park Get Own Newcastle Brown Ale

Newcastle Brown Ale is as famous a north-east icon as the Tyne Bridge, and the Angel Of The North in Gateshead. Catching up fast in the fame stakes are Maximo Park, the Newcastle band who grab more fans with every single and album release.
So, it’s only right that these two giants of north-east culture should […]

Radiohead Pretended To Be Kula Shaker - Manic Street Preachers Condemn Them

Radiohead apparently pretended to be Kula Shaker (amongst others) in an effort to stop In Rainbows from leaking online before release.
Bassist Colin Greenwood revealed to NME:
“It felt like a gigantic risk. Like Mission Impossible, almost. We destroyed all CDs after every day of recording. And on the master we’d always write a name which […]

Maximo Park - ‘Karaoke Plays’ Video Review

Any regular Brit Music Scene readers will already be well aware of my love for Maximo Park, and that isn’t going to change any time soon.
However, when reviewing their new single Karaoke Plays, I will be fair and give an honest opinion, because, well although it’s ok, it’s not my favourite on the album […]

Robbie Williams’ Mum Predicts He Will Rejoin Take That At Some Point In The Future

Ever since Take That announced their intention to get back together, fans and music industry pundits alike have been wondering if and when Robbie Williams would join his old sparring partners to become a five piece again.
It hasn’t happened yet, but doesn’t seem to have badly affected Take That’s comeback, with them looking fitter, and […]

Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker | New Single and Video Review

The Arctic Monkeys are one of my favourite bands, and not just currently either, probably of all time.
They’d at least be in my top 10, which for a relatively new band less than five years formed, and with just two full studio albums to their name is quite an astounding achievement.
Last week, I told […]

Spice Girls Reunion Tour Kicks Off In Style

The Spice Girls finally kicked off their reunion tour in Canada on Sunday, and reports suggest it all seemed to go very smoothly.
I thought they’d be a bit rusty on this first outing as a five piece in 10 years, but in fact the only thing that looked likely to rust were the metallic outfits […]
