I guess I can say I was lucky enough to win tickets to two of these iTunes gigs. The other was the Manic Street Preachers and the review featured on Stereoboard last week. Next up then was the turn of White Lies, a band with nowhere near as much history as the Manics, but one with equally as high expectations. Coming just two days after Dave Grohl's furious ejecting of a fighting crowd member (the video for which has become a viral hit on Youtube) during his Foo Fighters concert, the Camden Roundhouse was under a spotlight. Thankfully, this night was thankfully free of such tomfoolery.

Breathe Carolina are the prime example of the digital fairytale. Creating tracks on Garage Band for fun then posting them on Myspace took them from making music as a pastime to their more professional status. 2009’s ‘Hello Fascination’ really put the duo out there in the scene, but the question is whether their new release ‘Hell Is What You Make It’ can keep them there.

Having already earned themselves a Number One album in their native Australia and supported the likes of Muse and Linkin Park over on that side of the planet, Brisbane’s Dead Letter Circus finally made it over to our own humble shores for a quick visit earlier this month. The short run of shows provided the band with the chance to introduce us to their debut album ‘This is the Warning’ following its UK release, over a year since its original unveiling back home in sunny Oz. Like fellow Antipodean rockers Karnivool and Cog, Dead Letter Circus have opted to pursue a similar brand of prog-metal in the vein of American heavyweights like Tool, Deftones and The Mars Volta. ‘This is the Warning’ deservedly achieves such categorisation and helps to place Dead Letter Circus in the worldwide arena alongside alt-rock’s most notable big players.
