Ulver - War Of The Roses (Album Review)

It’s astonishing to look at where Ulver are today and to think back to where they have come from. These eclectic Norwegians began their life as a black metal band heavily influenced by their national folklore. Nowadays they are a genre-busting electronica act. Of course the notorious black metal scene, in Norway especially, is not well known for its overwhelming tolerance for other musical creeds...quite the opposite. Along their bumpy ride Ulver have had to put up constantly with the purists scoffing at their departure from the black metal scene that spawned them. Everyone else who has given them a listen in this time meanwhile has been astonished by their musical explorations.

Dive Dive - The Winchell Riots & Minor Coles - O2 Academy, Oxford - Sat 23rd April 2011(Live Review)

“Blessing Force” may be a term you’re aware of at this moment. Apparently it describes Oxfords current flourishing music scene led by bands such as Foals, Trophy Wife and Fixers, all of whom have seen mainstream coverage to some degree over the past months (and in the case of Foals, years). The problem is that Oxford is so much more than that, and these three bands, all home grown, are three of the biggest “local acts” in the town.

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - Two Against One / BLACK (Double A-Side Review)

Danger Mouse is one of those producers that everyone wants to work with. His collaboration with the then unknown Cee Lo Green sparked Gnarls Barkley and THAT song that was #1 forever. He wrote his own Grey Album, mixing together Jay-Z and the Beatles to create something interesting and new, and he’s also produced Gorillaz second (and arguably best) album. Oh, and he’s having a major influence on U2s next LP too. Basically, everything he touches turns to gold and this double A-side, released as part of Record Store Day, is no different.

Fleet Foxes ‘Helplessness Blues’ (Album Review)
Music Reviews
Tuesday, 26 April 2011 Written by Rob Sleigh


As well as leading the way for the recent spate of indie-folk acts such as our own Mumford & Sons and fellow north-westerners The Decemberists, Seattle’s Fleet Foxes have also done a very fine job of crafting their own brand of psychedelic folk-pop since the release of their eponymous debut in 2008. With their extensive use of choir-like vocal harmonies and more instruments than you can shake a stick at, the sextet have managed to create a plethora of warm sunrise choruses, heard in tracks like the conversely-titled ‘White Winter Hymnal’, which somehow capture a range of moods all drawn into one big melting pot of sound.

Geoff Rickly of Thursday talks to Stereoboard about New Album ‘No Devolucion’ (Interview)
Interviews
Tuesday, 26 April 2011 Written by Rob Sleigh


“It feels like more of an English record than anything we’ve done before,” says Thursday vocalist Geoff Rickly, a few hours before the band’s performance at Millennium Music Hall in Cardiff. Just over a week prior to this latest string of UK dates, the New Jersey post-hardcore sextet unleashed their sixth album No Devolucion on the world. As fans and critics have since discovered, the band’s newest effort represents somewhat of a diversion from their previous work. However, as Geoff goes on to explain, this new direction has proved to be a pleasantly surprising release. “We’ve never had such positive reviews. It’s really nice that people seem to get the record right away.”

Big Deal Reveal NME Radar Tour & Festival Dates & Tickets

Big Deal is Kacey Underwood and Alice Costelloe, an American boy and British girl bringing together electric fuzz and acoustic sheen, ambitious songs riddled with ambivalent lyrics of adult compromise and teen angst. They both sing, they both write, and they both play live, creating a tender, razor sharp noise. In the summer of 2010, they got tired of plugging things in, wearing ear plugs and waiting around. They then decided to start a band together, and with that, commenced writing and recording in their bedrooms.
