For the last few years there’s been a healthy market for music event tickets on online auction sites such as eBay.
People are now so confident of at least making their money back, if not a healthy profit, that they will buy tickets for gigs they have no interest in going to, purely to sell […]

Newcastle Brown Ale is as famous a north-east icon as the Tyne Bridge, and the Angel Of The North in Gateshead. Catching up fast in the fame stakes are Maximo Park, the Newcastle band who grab more fans with every single and album release.
So, it’s only right that these two giants of north-east culture should […]

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 […]

Kanye West proved his song title correct by staying at number 1 for the 2nd week running with ‘Stronger’. Sean Kingston has gone straight in at number 2 with the strangely catchy but otherwise utter crap ‘Beautiful Girls’. Now I know this guy is American, that much is clear from the video, but I know […]

While on their promotional tours over in America to support the new albums, they appeared […]

Carrying on the trend for reviewing singles about 2 weeks late I’m afraid. I will catch up honest, it’s just bad time management that’s all! Here we have The Cribs new single called ‘Moving Pictures’ which was released on July 30th in the UK.

I want to hate Kate Nash, I really do. She’s being feted by so many publications and music journos as the next big thing, that I don’t want to join that throng of bandwagon jumpers. But I can’t help myself. I came on ready to slate her, piss on her chips and generally say she’s […]
