My British Soundtrack For Summer 2008

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.

Ian Brown States No Stone Roses Reunion - For At Least Three Lifetimes AKA Ever

The Stone Roses are one of the best bands to have ever come out of Britain, but their musical legacy was pitifully small due to only two albums being produced before they split up. Although that was way back in 1996, there have been numerous calls for them to reunite from the public and band […]

Vodafone Live Music Award Nominees - The Verve, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Amy Winehouse

The Vodafone Live Music Awards are an annual awards ceremony, sponsored funnily enough by Vodafone.
Unlike other all-encompassing awards ceremonies, these focus on live music. I bet you’d have never guessed if I hadn’t told you so.
The year’s nominations have now been announced and it’s an eclectic bunch of artists to say the least. Leading […]

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.

The Verve Reveal New Album Details | Brit Band Get Ready To Go ‘Forth’ Once Again

The Verve were once one of the biggest bands in Britain, and one which found themselves revered around the world for their soulful take on indie rock. But it all came to a rather abrupt and bitter end when the band split in 1999 due to musical differences, and not being able to stand the […]

Pete Doherty To Headline Glastonbury?

Well at least The Park Stage. We already know that Jay-Z, Kings of Leon and The Verve will headline the main Pyramid Stage, but now it looks as like Britain’s resident junkie (male version of Amy Winehouse) will be the big draw on The Park Stage.
According to NME, Doherty will play a solo show on […]

Will Glastonbury 2008 Be Last Ever?

Yes, if you take Emily Eavis’ thoughts on the matter as hard fact. No, if you take more notice of Michael Eavis’ denials on the whole business.
