Fun Math Rockers Maps & Atlases Speak To Stereoboard About Their New Album & More (Interview)

Math rock doesn’t have a reputation for being massively accessible to the average music fan off the street. Complex time signatures generally aren’t a recipe for creating danceable, catchy tunes but Maps & Atlases have been steadfastly ignoring that rule in recent times. They may be devoted to making music that frontman David Davison describes as “challenging” but new album ‘Beware & Be Grateful’ showcases a knack for writing songs more enjoyably immediate than your average commercial pop song.

Stereoboard Speak To Then Jerico's Mark Shaw About Their Reunion Tour & Future Plans (Interview)

It appears to be all the rage at the moment for 80’s revivals, reunions, and comebacks. Some are justified, some maybe not so much. It’s easy to remember the cheesy pop of the 80’s, but give a thought to those hard working credible bands who entertained back in the day with their great songs, lyrics and musicianship. 2012 sees the 25th Anniversary of ‘First’, the debut album from 80’s rock band Then Jerico. To celebrate, the band’s original line up are back together for a reunion tour around the O2 Academy venues and a trip into the digital “noughties”.

Stereoboard Talk To Andrew WK About The 'I Get Wet' Anniversary Tour & A Brand New Album (Interview)

Did you hear the one about when Chuck Norris asked Andrew W.K. to throw him a party? No? Sadly, this story likely can’t be verified but the jist is simple: if you want a good time, if you want to have fun, if you want to party then Mr. W.K. is the man for the job. Currently bringing the ‘I Get Wet’ anniversary tour to all corners of the globe, it seemed there was no better time for UK fans to acquire a ticket and head out for an evening packed with partying.

Belfast's Stillpoint Discuss How To Put On A DIY Tour Of The UK & Upcoming Releases (Interview)

Once upon a time, crossing the threshold of Messers Courtney and McKendry heralded the starting point of a raucous night of partying and music. Jack Courtney (bass) and Dave McKendry (guitar and vocals) have been a musical partnership since their mid-teens in bands such as Custom Gauge, but this latest manifestation of their combined talent is the most progressive, most exciting and most promising to date. As front man, McKendry is the leader of the discussion, taking conversation where he wants it to go in the same way he can control an audience. Conversely, bassist Courtney sits back and takes everything going on around him in, like his bass playing he’s always there, but not always in the foreground. Only when it has been carefully considered does he enter the dialogue and when he does you make damn sure you listen.
