The debut single by London quintet The History of Apple Pie emerged when Jerome looked up from his Star Gate Sequence pedals and his half-sketched song ideas were brought to life with a vocal contribution from Stephanie, who'd never sung until that very moment. Through their music they offer a cloud-covered view of backyard ‘90s America and ‘You’re so Cool’ is an understated, beautiful cut of dreampop.

For a man that's had more rebirths in his career than any other, it seems strange to be celebrating Bob Dylan's 70th birthday. But when half a century since 1960 passed last year, and Dylan was still reinventing himself abreast of the times in his 60s, there could be no doubting the size of the man's shadow over music and popular culture over the past half a century.

The heavily anticipated album ‘Dead Ends’ from hardcore quintet, Heights will be released 21st July 2011. The album showcases the bands brand of modern hardcore to full effect; pummeling percussion and epically constructed riffs collide with Thom Debaere’s excruciated vocal attack and hits the listener from nowhere with full force.

When you think of Wigan and its musical contributions to the world, which examples spring instantly to mind? Northern soul? The Verve? George Formby? It’s true that this great mill and mining town has a long and colourful history in music that has, at brief intervals over the past 50 years or so, given us a number of notable movements and artists along the way. But what of the latest pretenders to the title? Wigan’s newest young hopefuls The Suzukis are finally here with their no-nonsense blend of raw punk rock and shameless Northern indie to put the town back on the musical atlas. Following some well-received shows at Brighton’s The Great Escape festival and Liverpool Sound City, The Suzukis are now getting ready to unleash their eponymous debut album, which is due out in July. Stereoboard catches up with The Suzukis’ vocalist Chris Veasey to find out more about the band and Wigan’s music scene.

"Have you met my friend John Nolan?" Adam Lazzara casually asks a feverish crowd of Taking Back Sunday devotees. Nolan? The original guitarist and backing vocalist who left eight years ago in acrimonious circumstances? Yes, I think we have actually. Getting the old band back together has drawn in many long-lost fans who were thrilled by their 2002 breakthrough album 'Tell All Your Friends', but there were plenty of fresh-faced youngsters who Lazzara has attracted with his more recent efforts as well.

Robert AA Lowe may be the most over-indulged musician in the world. Anyone who gets a 35-minute support slot in front of 4,000 music fans and chooses to use it making deep moaning noises while his laptop plays a downright irritating looping melody over and over again, must have had accusations involving the words 'head' and 'arse' bandied around fairly freely. Lichens is an interminably indulgent solo project from the former 90 Day Men vocalist, and frankly the less said about it the better.

In the last decade Riverside has become one of the most popular and well respected bands in the progressive rock genre as well as one of the few Polish bands to gain an international reputation. Although being one of the more notable acts to emerge from Poland in recent times may not be much to write home about, Riverside do have undoubted talent and there is a reason why they are able to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a major tour stopping off at London’s Scala. The warm affection towards the band from their fans is demonstrated by the celebratory atmosphere in the air at the Scala tonight.
