There’s a lot of buzz surrounding The Black Angels at the moment Stateside. Lucrative slots on Conan, a recent performance alongside Queens of the Stone Age and a Billboard Top 50 Album already under their belts, it’s about time they showed their mettle over here in the UK, right?

It seems like forever since the first single from pop singer Eliza Doolittle hit our ears so I was a little bit surprised to find out that this track, 'Mr. Medicine', is still from the same album, her self-titled debut.

There isn’t much to say about Adele that hasn’t already been said. If you’re reading this now in Spring 2011 then you won’t be able to leave your house without hearing Adele at some point during your day. If you’re reading this in, say, Spring 2021 then Adele will probably be the Prime Minister and she’ll be singing your budget to you in order to try and make it sound that little bit less depressing. She is certainly popular enough.

I’m going to be honest, like most people, Chris Brown isn’t top of my list of people to share a pint with but ever since smashing on the scene with ‘Run It’, his musical talent has been obvious and has evolved through every album. This single has been taken from the album ‘F.A.M.E’ which stands for ‘For All My Enemies’ and is strangely endearing and I shall tell you why.

It’s hard to believe that ‘Searching for the Young Soul Rebels’ is over 30 years old. It sounds fresh and draws influences from an eclectic mix of genres that are still present in the charts to this day.

It would have been so, so easy to make fun just before even listening to this. Picture the scene: You are a footballer just nudging your thirties. You played for the mighty St Johnstone and Aberdeen (before being loaned off to Dunfermline) but have had a career, like many footballers, that have seen an injury or seven. Therefore, as a side venture, a hobby, or a possible setup for a new post-SPL career, you decide it’s a good idea to pick up a guitar and microphone. Rutkiewicz has said he started writing music due to a long injury layoff and the birth of his daughter, which is nice to know but doesn’t stop the dread as the CD begins the spin inside the player.

For their new release, 'Bloodless Coup', Bell X1 wanted to return to a more traditional way of recording. As in, write the songs. Rehearse the songs. Record the songs. In a recording studio. Bell X1 — singer Paul Noonan, guitarist Dave Geraghty and bassist Dominic Phillips, — brought two new humans into the studio fold this time -- Rory Doyle on drums and Marc Aubele on keys and guitar. To produce the album, Bell X1 brought on Rob Kirwan.

For those that haven’t yet stepped into the Bull & Gate in London’s Kentish Town, the venue is a relative haven for music fans, holding up a torch for local venues by hosting top quality acts almost every night of the week. The Club Fandango gig nights are an equally impressive institution, and over the last ten years the organisers havebrought future stadium-fillers to their intimate venues, picking up on early vibes from the likes of Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs and Guillemots, to name a few.
