Bloc Party New Single ‘Mercury’ | Indie Band Go Dance - Kele Okereke Talks New Album

Lily Allen To Quit Music If 2nd Album Flops

I love Lily Allen with a passion. Yes I know she’s got a potty mouth, as one of my friends keeps reminding me, and yes, I know she’s probably more big headed than is deserved with the limited success she has had outside of her native UK, but I don’t care, there is still something […]

The Verve were once one of the biggest bands in Britain, and one which found themselves revered around the world for their soulful take on indie rock. But it all came to a rather abrupt and bitter end when the band split in 1999 due to musical differences, and not being able to stand the […]

Keane Finishing Up Third Album | Follow Up To ‘Under the Iron Sea’ Sounding Great

Keane are absolutely one of my favourite British bands of the last decade. Their blend of soft rock with pop sensibilities, and the lack of a guitarist, has meant a certain amount of derision from some quarters of the press and public alike, but just put one of their albums on and you are instantly […]

Paul McCartney New Album Free With ‘The Mail On Sunday’ Tomorrow May 18th

Paul McCartney has had a mixed last few years, having been married to Heather Mills, and then going through a very messy, very public divorce.
While all of this was going on, he was still writing and recording music, and released Memory Almost Full in 2007.
The album has already sold 100,000 copies in the […]

He’s never stopped working either, releasing an album as recently as 2006. However, that could be his last, as he has warned he may not make another album.

Thom Yorke Slams EMI For Releasing ‘Radiohead: The Best Of’ Without Consent

Alternative British rockers Radiohead left their long time record label EMI last year and decided instead to put out In Rainbows over the Internet for free in an experiment which has seen many copycats.
However, EMI obviously still wants to make some money off the band, and so are preparing to release a greatest hits […]

The Zutons Thank Amy Winehouse For Keeping Them In The Public Eye

I’m always intrigues what bands think when another artist covers one of their tracks. If it gets released, then they’ve obviously given permission for the song to be covered, but what do they really think?
Well, we at least know that The Zutons were pleased with the cover version of Valerie that Mark Ronson and Amy […]
