We have all heard, read or seen some of the outrageous stunts that rock bands pull-off during their shows, only a few weeks ago I saw KISS frontman Paul Stanley fly across Birmingham’s NEC Arena for a rendition of ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’. However, putting the zip-lines and pyrotechnics to shame, Bon Jovi went a step further this week by playing ON TOP of London’s O2 Arena!

Hailing from Guildford, Without Thought have flirted with smashing their local punk/metal scene in a big way since the release of 2004 EP, ‘The Canvas Will Burn Your Eyes’. Several singles later, productivity was halted after one band member suffered a fairly serious injury, which rendered them unable to play.

Concerto For The Undead is Stigma’s second commercial release, since the Italian death metal 4 piece formed in 2000. The relentless, ear splitting 10 track record is a nonstop mass of heavy metal guitar riffs, relentless, skin splitting drumming and horrific barking, shouting and screaming. Give that man a throat sweet.

It’s always been somewhat curious that certain bands, who have become accustomed to filling huge venues and headlining festivals, occasionally choose to play small clubs for a more intimate show. Why perform in front of hundreds of fans when thousands would be willing to come along? Is it because it provides them with an ideal forum for trying out new material? Or is it merely a charitable offering to the fans that are situated further afield from the usual tour stops? Either way, that is exactly what dance-punk trio the Klaxons have opted to do. Tonight’s gig at the 400-capacity White Rabbit in Plymouth is one of several intimate dates that also include Gloucester, Southend and Colchester.

In 2008, singer Scott Weiland left Velvet Revolver to rejoin his former band Stone Temple Pilots for a huge tour of the US. During the five years that had followed STP’s break-up, Velvet Revolver received varied success. Although their debut album ‘Contraband’ was well received, the supergroup never quite achieved any real confidence from their fans. This was largely due to Weiland’s involvement and the apparent distance between him and the other members of the group.
Throughout the months following the release of their second album ‘Libertad’, there were numerous reports that Velvet Revolver were not getting on with their singer and it wasn’t long before Weiland confirmed that he was no longer part of that band.

2010 isn’t only a year of electro pop and Tinie Tempah urging you to Pass Out. Nah...a series of indie rock bands are casting their own booth in the music industry gaining respect and admiration in equal measure. Seattle group Band Of Horses are one such act. Blending a delicate mould of tender rock and Americana, the five-piece aim to set the year ablaze with their new record label Sub-Pop and third album, Infinite Arms.

Bands today seem to be offering more and cleverer tweaks musically and lyrically, perhaps to stay one step ahead or perhaps this is the beginning of another musical trend, either way this movement is compelling and exciting and it adds another twist to the indie music revolution which has been on the go for some time.

Stereoboard.com writer Adam Simpson spends time with latest supergroup Freebass.
Freebass consists of three bassists Andy Rourke (formerly of The Smiths), Peter Hook (formerly of New Order and Joy Division) and Gary "Mani" Mounfield (formerly of The Stone Roses and currently in Primal Scream) and singer Gary Briggs (formerly of Haven).
It's been 5 years since Hooky and Mani came up with the Freebass idea, in a few hours the guys are going to be playing their first gig at The Duchess in York. I wondered if this had been a frustrating time for the group.
