After The Descendents’ show at London’s O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on Monday night, which was wrought with problems related to vocalist Milo Aukerman losing his voice, the LA punk legends have decided to cancel their second night at the venue. The two dates, which were both sold-out, marked the band’s return to the UK for the first time in 14 years. An announcement from the band, which has been published on the website of Big Cheese Magazine who were sponsoring the shows, confirms that the second night in London has had to be cancelled, but that the band will be returning to the UK for the Reading and Leeds festivals in August.

Oh dearage. It was supposed to be so special - LA punk legends the Descendents making their big UK comeback after 14 years away. With the packed venue teeming with people from far and wide, all here to witness the first of the band’s two sold-out London dates, it seemed so likely that this was going to be a special event. However, it may have all turned out too good to be true.

If you know Camden then you know there's no such thing as a leisurely walk up the high street on a Sunday afternoon, there's always a barrage of tourists jumping in and out of every market place as well as locals jumping in between the Hawley Arms and Dingwalls. However, if you were in Camden a few weeks back then you might have seen a lot more than the usual groundswell of bodies at the lock, instead you'd have seen a blockade of people watching stopping traffic and dancing in the streets while Tribes filmed the video for their new EP 'We Were Children', playing a live set perched on-top of a shop roof.

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.

“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 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.
