John Lennon is as big an icon in death as he was in life. Despite being dead for 28 years, The Beatles front man, who also had a massively successful solo career, is still influencing generation after generation of musicians and songwriters.
I myself, admit to holding the man in the utmost esteem, thinking he […]
The Stone Roses remain fresh in people’s minds as one of the seminal bands of the late 80s and early 90s, and a founding member of the much-acclaimed Madchester scene. However, they split up in 1996, and have all gone their own ways, and concentrated on solo projects since.
As much as many of us would […]
I have a love and hate relationship with Oasis. I love the music, or the bulk of it at least, but hate some of the attitude that comes from the band, with Liam Gallagher being the particular pain in the arse. Although, having said that, he seems to have been very quiet and subdued of […]
Radiohead have received almost nothing but praise for challenging music industry standards when they released In Rainbows on to the Internet last year, and invited people to pay what they wanted for the privilege of downloading the album.
In effect, this meant you could nab a brand new album by one of the best British […]
Wow, this is huge. Bloc Party have revealed heir new single, and it is completely different than anything they have released before, and I’m not too sure whether I like the direction the band are going in.
It all started with a countdown timer on the official Bloc Party website, which suddenly appeared, and pointed towards […]
The Ting Tings seemed to come out of nowhere to become one of the hottest bands in the UK right now. They have even been noticed in the US after their song Shut Up And Let Me Go, which I recently reviewed on Killed By The Video Star, was featured on an Apple iPod advert.
I […]
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 […]
Coldplay have managed to reach number one in the American singles chart with Viva La Vida, the title track from their new album. This is despite claims of plagiarism from a US band called Creaky Boards and despite, or maybe because of criticism from album producer Brian Eno.
The song was sitting at number two last […]
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 […]
Coldplay’s new album Viva La Vida isn’t officially released until June 12th, but fans desperate to hear it in full before then, but not daring enough to download it illegally and risk getting caught, can now listen to the album on the band’s MySpace page.
The album is available now, and for a week running up […]
