In Focus: Owl City
"The industry found me to be honest. I wanted nothing to do with it but suddenly here I am and unbelievably, it's the right place for me."

In Focus: Owl City
One ordinary day, in an ordinary house, in an ordinary street, in an ordinary town in Minnesota the life of one Adam Young changed forever. The power of the internet managed to prise Mr. Young from his ordinary job, working as a package loader forClick Here to Read More
Ambershift - Ambershift [Album]

76%

With a band formed to satisfy lead singer, Dave Lord's New Years resolution to get his act together, and a name that came about from long drinking sessions of mainly lager on the banks of the Tyne it is pretty impressive that Ambershift has managedClick Here to Read More
Ambershift - Another Trigger [Single]

77%

Another Trigger is the newest single from UK natives Ambershift. The edgy single is a song taken off their self-titled debut album and is definitely worth a listen even though the band was just created to satiate a New Years resolution. The singleClick Here to Read More
Various - Young & Lost Club Compilation [Album]

91%

It is your regular music fairy tale of friendship; girl meets best friend at boarding school, they bond over a common love of The Strokes and together they defy the rules. They sneak out at night to catch gigs all over London. They then create aClick Here to Read More
Suzanne Vega - Close-Up Volume 1, Love Songs [Albums]

80%

Reinterpreting old songs doesn’t always add up to someone’s back catalogue, but Suzanne Vega, never being one for big production and bombast in the first place, seems to be the lucky exception in a row of otherwise dreadful, pointless and ‘lack ofClick Here to Read More
Neon Circus - Future Disco [Single]

33%

Neon Circus' recently released album is called Don't Get Panicked, but this single taken from it is unlikely to elicit such a reaction, or unfortunately much of a response at all.

"Future Disco" is not terrible, there's just not a lotClick Here to Read More
The HArd FoX - Night is Over [EP]

69%

The opening chords of Night is Over sounds just like you’ve put on an Audioslave album. I kind of like it but the vocalist seems a little monotone. It’s like he reaches one level of noise and tone and he stays there. It’s weird though, it’s not likeClick Here to Read More
Bastard Of The Skies - Ichor! Ichor! [Album]

67%

The best way I can describe Bastard Of The Skies is "heavy sludge metal." I have to hand it to them though, it’s not just mindless riffing going on here, there is substance. The songs rise and fall like a sleeping behemoth but I’m afraid, despiteClick Here to Read More

Switchfoot - Hello Hurricane [Album]

71%

“For us, it’s a faith, not a genre. We’ve always been very open and honest about where the songs are coming from. For us, these songs are for everyone.”

A recent statement from Switchfoot lead singer/guitarist, Jon Foreman (like theClick Here to Read More
Martin Bisi - Son of a Gun [EP]

Since the early 1980’s, Martin Bisi has been at the forefront of the downtown New York avant-garde, No Wave and punk band scene, as both a musician and record producer. He originally honed his craft when he started BC Studio in Brooklyn with BrianClick Here to Read More
Jordan Galland - Airbrush [Album]

80%

Low-key, urbane, self-involved - is that a bad thing? Quite a sophisticated little record from the part-time filmmaker, part-time musician, Jordan Galland. They’re not quite chansons, but there’s certainly an air of Gallic seignior about Galland’sClick Here to Read More

Herve - Ghetto Bass 2 [Album]
Cheap Thrills Records

Herve - Ghetto Bass 2 [Album]

70%

Thirty-four frigging tracks, each one more bass-tastic than the last. It’s hard to know where to start with an album/onslaught like this. To address each track would mean ten words per song and that’s just not how I function. First, I think it’sClick Here to Read More

Autons - Celluloid [Album]
Jelly Maid Music

Autons - Celluloid [Album]

66%

As well as being the surname of this family band (David, Ray & Tony), Autons are presumably aware of the allusion their name presents to the artificial life force from Doctor Who. Whilst the latter TV was meant to be foreboding, Autons are lessClick Here to Read More
Devil Sold His Soul - Blessed and Cursed [Album]

67%

“It’s a massive leap from the last album, it’s a much better record, more variety, more engaging.” These contemplations were disclosed by the six members of South England’s Devil sold his Soul on their MySpace, just a constricted few weeks prior toClick Here to Read More
No Machine - On Ebay [Single]

69%

Greek twins Al and Emil Roberts have been making music together since they were 13, and their latest single confirms that a bit of practice can go a long way. "On Ebay" is a song that's easy to like, right from the blissful, happy-hangover openingClick Here to Read More
Autistici Reworked - Resonating Wires [Album]

87%

Audiobulb Records continue to blow out the cobwebs accumulated in between the steel girders of Sheffield. Founded by David Newman in 2003, Audiobulb, with their subtitle of ‘exploratory music,’ is the body from which much intriguing work has beenClick Here to Read More
Stevie Hoang - No Coming Back [Single]

Katie Melua - The House [Album]

81%

Having reached the fourth album in her career, I think that it's about time that young Katie Melua broke free from her some-what creative restraints. It’s no secret that the majority of her work has been co-written by Dramatico label owner, MikeClick Here to Read More
Crowded House - Intriguer [Album]

56%

They say Mick Jagger could sing a telephone directory and make it sound dangerous. I’d like to see what he’d do with a Crowded House lyric. Yes, they’re back, and they’re anything but bad. Unlike life, Crowded House aren’t hugely comparable to a boxClick Here to Read More

The Lowdown: Zarif
"I make a mean cup of coffee, there are always biscuits in my cupboard, and I constantly have too many clothes all over my floor"

The Lowdown: Zarif
Some might say that Zarif is the new and improved Amy Winehouse, but there's a lot more too her than just that. Not many people can say they've performed at Glastonbury, shared the stage with Beyonce and Chris Brown and also gained a degree at UCL.Click Here to Read More
