John Lennon Movie Biopic On Way | Writer Behind Ian Curtis’ ‘Control’ Penning Script

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 Reforming? - Mani Names Ian Brown As Reason Stopping Reunion

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 […]

The Ting Tings Announce Huge UK Tour | Manchester Band Are No One-Hit Wonder

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 […]

Kaiser Chiefs Versus Oasis - Ricky Wilson Claims New Album Means They Are Kings

Whenever a band have a new album ready for release, and they’ve been away for a while, it’s almost a guarantee that one of the members will start mouthing off against some other band in an effort to get some free publicity, and their name back on the tips of everyone’s tongue.
Oasis are no strangers […]

The Futureheads Live In Manchester Gig Review | Academy 2 - May 26th 2008

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, […]

The Sugababes Live In Manchester Gig Review | Apollo - April 2nd 2008

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 […]

Sugababes Pole Dance In Manchester

The Sugababes, surely the sexiest British girl band ever (Destiny’s Child beat them hands down, but they’re American, so they don’t count) have apparently indulged in a spot of pole dancing at an after-show party in Manchester on Wednesday.
The girls have been on a tour of the UK for the past few weeks, and arrived […]

The Futureheads Tour Tickets On Sale Now

The Futureheads are one of my favourite British bands of recent years, but one who haven’t really got the recognition they deserve.
Apart from having a top ten hit with a cover of the Kate Bush classic Hounds Of Love in 2005, the Sunderland band have had to make do with being on the fringes […]

The Feeling Live In Manchester Gig Review | Academy 1 - March 13th 2008

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 […]

Arctic Monkeys Gig Review | Manchester General GMex Centre - December 12 2007

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 […]
