Amy Winehouse Cries Off Sick Again | Pulls Out Of Paris Festival Headline Slot

Is there a month that goes by when Amy Winehouse isn’t “taken ill in her London home” these days? It’s now happened for the third time in the last couple of months, and it meant that Winehouse had to pull out of her headline slot at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris on Friday […]

Biffy Clyro - ‘Mountains’ Music Video Review

Biffy Clyro are a band who have been around for an absolute age, but apart from a very dedicated set of fans, have failed to really cross over to the mainstream or have huge success. That looks all set to change with their new release, Mountains, which went straight in to the top ten of […]

Metallica Inspired By Oasis To Give Up Cocaine | Noel Gallagher Is Ulrich Mentor

Metallica are obviously a heavy metal band. No, scrub that, probably the best heavy metal band there has ever been. They are certainly one of the longest running and most mainstream. Oasis, on the other hand, are a Britpop band who have been brilliant and average in fairly equal measure over the years.
As different as […]

Oasis & Jay-Z Team Up Without Knowing It | Ojayzis Mixtape Released On MySpace

After all the bitterness surrounding Oasis and Jay-Z after they had a little spat earlier in the year, it seems that the two artists have put their differences behind them and teamed up.
Or maybe not. But there is a mixtape featuring them both now available online.
The spat between Oasis and Jay-Z began when Jay-Z […]

Led Zeppelin Working On New Material

I’ve spoken quite passionately about the possibility of Led Zeppelin reuniting properly over the past year on Brit Music Scene.
Ever since the legendary rock group reformed for a one-off show at London’s 02 Arena last December in support of the Ahmet Ertegun Foundation, a full reunion tour has seemed tantalisingly close. But so far, […]

Feeder - ‘Tracing Lines’ Music Video Review

Feeder are one of those bands who seem to be forever in the background without ever getting the headlines they deserve. They’ve had their moments, with Buck Rogers and Just The Way I’m Feeling both being singles which have scored them big hits, but generally, they are too ignored by the mainstream.
Which is a shame […]

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games | Leona Lewis & Jimmy Page Perform ‘Whole Lotta Love’

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games have just come to an end with a truly spectacular closing ceremony. And who did they choose to bring down the curtain on this very successful Olympics? British stars Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page of course. Oh, and David Beckham was also there.
Obviously the reason the UK played such a […]

Brit Music Scene has now been up and running for over a year, and in that time has hopefully given you the best news, reviews, and features about the British music scene. But everything has to evolve or die and so I need feedback from my readers on which direction this blog should go in […]

Metallica London 02 Arena Concert Just £5 Per Ticket… If You’re A Fan Club Member

Metallica are one of those bands I have never seen live. They were just too damn famous by the time I got in to them so that tickets for their concerts always sell out quickly, and are always very pricey. What’s more, because they are American, we don’t get to see them as often as […]

Dido Releasing New Album | ‘Safe Trip Home’ Signals Return After Five Years Absence

Whatever happened to Dido? She was massive for a time after her first two albums, No Angel and Life For Rent were released, achieving worldwide success, even breaking America. But we haven’t seen anything of her since Life For Rent dropped in 2003.
Well now she’s back, with the announcement that her new album, her third […]
