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 […]

Will Young is one of the few winners of the whole Simon Cowell reality show (Pop Idol, X-Factor) phenomenon to emerge from it all with a career. Not only that but he’s become accepted as an artist in his own right rather than merely the winner of Pop Idol 2002. Well, at least until folk […]

The Ting Tings have been a revelation this year, seemingly coming from nowhere to find fame and success on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as almost everywhere else in the world. This is their new single, Be The One, the fourth song to be released from their début album, We Started Nothing.
This song […]

You may be wondering: Why the hell is he reviewing this song when it’s been out for months? But that’s the thing, it only came out in the US months ago - us Brits have had to wait until now for our chance to buy in to the whole M.I.A. vibe. Which is why Paper […]

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, […]

Estelle has had an astounding couple of years, going from being a London rapper struggling to gain any sort of press or public attention, to being an A-list celebrity and R’n’B diva loved on both sides of the Atlantic.
The song that started her whole reinvention as the darling of America was obviously American Boy, which […]

I’ve covered Oasis quite extensively here on Brit Music Scene in the run up to the release of their seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul.
While most of the coverage has unfortunately been about Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher’s attempts at gaining publicity (obviously successful) from slagging off their fellow musicians, it’s finally time […]

The Young Knives are a British band who are unlikely to ever cross over to the mainstream, but are brilliant nonetheless, or maybe even because of this. They are classy, kooky, and more than anything, just downright fantastic.
They’ve been around in their current form since 2002, but have been getting increasingly more attention from the […]

Biffy Clyro are a band who have been around for an absolute age, but apart from a very dedicated set of fans, have failed to really cross over to the mainstream or have huge success. That looks all set to change with their new release, Mountains, which went straight in to the top ten of […]

Feeder are one of those bands who seem to be forever in the background without ever getting the headlines they deserve. They’ve had their moments, with Buck Rogers and Just The Way I’m Feeling both being singles which have scored them big hits, but generally, they are too ignored by the mainstream.
Which is a shame […]
