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 […]

The Feeling are a strange band, and I mean that in the best sense of the word. They are a proper band, who all play instruments, and who write their own material, but they’re derided by the fascist music press because they are clearly ‘pop’ and proud of it.
I would classify them as indie pop, […]

I love America, and the majority of the American people I have met both online and in real life. But, when I hear a story such as this, I can’t help but lose a bit of respect for the country and its inhabitants.
Chasing Pavements by Adele is an absolutely brilliant song, and deserves to be […]

Since reforming in 2005, Take That have arguably been a better group than ever before. Personally speaking, I was never a fan of them the first time around, being male and above the age of 12, but even I have fallen for their charms the second time around.
Beautiful World, the first studio album to emerge […]

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 […]

Amy Winehouse may have had a hit record with the song telling of her refusal to enter rehab but it seems she may have finally succumbed to the good advice. Russell Brand, due to present the MTV Video Music Awards in September, is said to have been the man behind the sudden change of heart.
According […]

Over the weekend, I posted My British Soundtrack For Summer 2008. This was five videos which have punctuated my summer so far and are likely to continue doing so for the weeks we have remaining. But I wasn’t the only one on the b5 Music Channel to write about the end of the hot weather.

Here in the UK, the summer is at its peak, which as anyone who has ever visited Britain would know means lots of rain with the occasional sunny spell in between. But regardless of the weather outside, music has the ability to lift our spirits and at least make us feel like it’s fine outside.
Some […]

I remember a time not so long ago when there was such a dearth of British female singers that Annie Lennox was almost guaranteed a Brit award every year. Now times have changed somewhat, and not only do we have Amy Winehouse doing her thing (drugs, booze, music, more drugs and booze), we have people […]

Did that headline grab your attention? That was the intention. Unfortunately, rather than having an exclusive scoop on U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama having an affair with Joss Stone, it was just figuratively speaking.
The actual news is almost as bizarre though, as it seems Democratic candidate Obama has chosen Stone to record his election […]
