Oasis - ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ Album Review

The new Oasis album, Dig Out Your Soul, is released on Monday October 6th, but thanks to a preview screening on Oasis’ MySpace page, I’ve been able to review the album early.
Dig Out Your Soul is a strange beast because it is clearly Oasis, with hints of Britpop and old skool in there, but there’s […]

Radiohead Fan Video Becomes Official Reckoner Promo - Thom Yorke Impressed

Radiohead are collaborating with their fans in ever more intriguing and interactive ways. Not only did they decide to give their album away for free, but they now seem to be regarding In Rainbows as belonging to the fans as much as it belongs to the band itself.
Such was the case with the new music […]

Dirty Pretty Things Split | Could This Lead To The Libertines Reforming?

Dirty Pretty Things, the band that rose from the ashes left by The Libertines, have split up. While lead singer Carl Barat has made it clear this isn’t because of any plans to reform The Libertines, could it be that this eventually could mean the return of the seminal band?

There were rumours circulating this morning […]

Elbow - ‘One Day Like This’ Video Review

Elbow are a long-standing British group who have kind of passed me by so far, hence I’m only just reviewing this single, One Day Like This, even though it’s been out a few months. I’m sure I’m not alone in only really taking notice of the band after they won the 2008 Mercury Music Prize […]

Oasis ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ As Good As The Beatles ‘Revolver’ - Find Out On MySpace

The new Oasis album, Dig Out Your Soul, is as good as The Beatles classic album, Revolver, often cited as the Fab Four’s best long player.
At least that’s the opinion on Alan McGee, the former boss of Creation records who signed Oasis to his record label after seeing them play live in Glasgow in […]

Keane - ‘Spiralling’ Live On Jonathan Ross

The new Keane album, Perfect Symmetry, is due out on October 13th, and this song, Spiralling, is the first single to be released from it. In the absence of any kind of official video (at least from what I’ve found online), I’ve had to make do with a video of the band performing the song […]

Blur Reunion Rift Continues | Damon Albarn Claims “Blur Is Over” - Coxon Responds

It’s been almost a year since I last wrote about Blur, mainly because the band doesn’t exist at the moment after going on an indefinite hiatus in 2003. Last October saw the four original members of the band meet up for lunch but that was as far it went, with no hint of a studio […]

Snow Patrol In Happy Record Shocker? | ‘A Hundred Million Suns’ Is Change Of Direction

Snow Patrol are, without doubt, one of the best bands to emerge from the UK over the past few years. But, what has stopped me falling completely and utterly head over heels in love with them is that the songs are all so sad. Seriously, cheer up will you, it might never happen.
The Scottish and […]

Oasis are currently busy gearing up for the release of new album, Dig Out Your Soul, on October 6th. But could it be that this will be the last Oasis studio album for a while, with the members of the band going their own separate ways to work on solo projects?

In an interview with Blender […]
