The Futureheads are one of my favourite British bands ever, and one which deserves a lot more credit than they currently get. So when they announced a new UK tour back in March, I nabbed some tickets before they all sold out.
It’s been a long two month wait for the gig to finally come around, […]

After going to see The Feeling at the beginning of March, and loving it so much, me and my friends were on the lookout for the next big gig to buy tickets for and attend.
A quick search on GigsandTours.com later, and we decided to purchase tickets for the Sugababes at the Manchester Apollo on the […]

The Feeling are a band who are never going to be cool, never going to get on the cover of NME, and never going to be the next big thing.
But you know what? None of that matters, as they put out some incredibly well written, and well composed pop songs, and after seeing them […]

Thursday night saw the Shockwaves NME Awards take place, the cooler, somewhat more indie version of The Brits. The results were a mixture of surprises and the totally predictable, but one thing which was missing this year was any real controversy.
The Arctic Monkeys emerged as the big winners on the night, taking home three awards, […]

Mike Skinner of The Streets has been to see Sweeney Todd, the Tim Burton directed musical which opens in cinemas around the UK next Friday 25th January, and has declared it an “absolute inspiration”.
So does this mean the next Streets album will be more cinematic in nature?
The movie, full title Sweeney Todd: The Demon […]

The day finally arrived, when all that effort that was shed in trying to secure tickets to see the Arctic Monkeys live came to fruition. Not my effort actually, but my girlfriend’s who got up early one morning a few months back so as to be first in the online queue.
We arrived in the middle […]

No, I wasn’t there… unfortunately, but I’ve read all I can on the fans and critics reviews, and need to give my report on how the much anticipated reunion concert went.
It’s London, it’s December 10th 2007, and it’s freezing cold, but no-one cares because the remaining members of Led Zeppelin are about to take to […]

Any regular Brit Music Scene readers will already be well aware of my love for Maximo Park, and that isn’t going to change any time soon.
However, when reviewing their new single Karaoke Plays, I will be fair and give an honest opinion, because, well although it’s ok, it’s not my favourite on the album […]

The Arctic Monkeys are one of my favourite bands, and not just currently either, probably of all time.
They’d at least be in my top 10, which for a relatively new band less than five years formed, and with just two full studio albums to their name is quite an astounding achievement.
Last week, I told […]

I have already detailed in quite graphic language my love for Kate Nash… I want to marry her. And so it was with a skip in my heart that I went to see her in all her glory at Manchester Academy 1 on Monday November 5th.
When the tickets came up for sale, I had to […]
