Biffy Clyro - ‘Mountains’ Music Video Review

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 - ‘Tracing Lines’ Music Video Review

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.

Adele Vs Duffy - The Battle Of The British Divas | ‘Hometown Glory’ & ‘Stepping Stone’

I remember a time not so long ago when there was such a dearth of British female singers that Annie Lennox was almost guaranteed a Brit award every year.
