It’s safe to say that there aren’t many bands comparable to Godflesh. When the terrible twosome (Justin K. Broadrick and G. C. Green) released 'Streetcleaner' back in 1989 they decimated the ears of an unsuspecting audience. For the brand of industrial metal that Godflesh provided may not have been fast and it may not have even featured a live drummer half the time, but it was more brutal and packed with more ferocity than even the angriest hardcore band. Derisory though some may make such a statement seem, Godflesh made Broadrick’s previous band (grind legends Napalm Death) sound vaguely pleasant and hopeful, with a vision of the world that can only be described as utterly nihilistic.

The past year in British music has seen the demise of the guitar band in the music charts, replaced with grime-pop artists such as Tinie Tempa and Tinchy Stryder. Flash back five years ago and it was a different scenario altogether. With Arctic Monkeys as a guide, British music had not seen the same surge of indie chart success since brit-pop.

‘Itchin' on a Photograph’ is a great pop song. A type of song that is largely ill-produced in our current musical climate, particularly in America. Attention is concentrated on stadium filling bands, be it Kings of Leon, The Killers or Coldplay. However, up-and-coming LA band Grouplove are bringing back good old catchy rock with the release of new single 'Itchin' on a Photograph'.

Following the release of their second album ‘Screaming is Something’ and a tour that has seen the new record gather a host of early admirers, Manchester’s The Travelling Band are currently getting settled in to the festival season with dates at Eden Sessions, Green Man and Standon Calling. With more headlining dates on the horizon, the folk rockers have a busy few months ahead and things are just getting started. Frontman Adam Gorman recently took some time out from their hectic schedule to chat with Stereoboard about the band, their music and the meaning behind ‘Screaming is Something’.
Whatever your opinion of U2, Coldplay and Beyonce might be, there is no denying that, headliners and celebrity attendance aside, Glastonbury is one of the country’s most diverse music festivals, which offers young hopefuls an opportunity to share their music with the masses. One group that you won’t find arguing against this point is Manchester-based indie folksters The Travelling Band. Although they weren’t gracing any of the Somerset event’s many stages last weekend, the festival must have brought back some fond memories for the quintet. In 2008, The Travelling Band were fortunate enough to be given the honour of opening Worthy Farm’s Other Stage, despite being relatively unknown at the time, after receiving the festival’s Best New Talent award. A proud achievement indeed, and the perfect celebration to accompany the release of the band’s first album ‘Under the Pavement’. Three years on and the group are back with their sophomore release ‘Screaming is Something’ and, this time, they are setting their sights high.
