So far about 4 songs have leaked from the debut album of Liam Gallagher’s new band Beady Eye. This one’s the best yet. The album is unfortunately called Different Gear, Still Speeding and is officially out February 28th, check out the video for “The Roller”, continue reading...
The first song from Beady Eye, “Bring The Light” had a mixed reaction, some loved the song, some railed on it. I thought it was ok, but needed to hear more from Liam’s new band before making a decision. The latest song to make its way to the internet is called “Four Letter Word” and definitely should elicit a different reaction from fans. This is a hard driving song and more along the lines of what people expected (I think…). Anyways, check it out below and stay tuned for more. continue reading...
Teenage Fanclub are back with a new album called Shadows full of perfect power pop tunes, but instead of linking to something new I wanted to include them in this weeks Live Flashback to showcase them performing one of my favorite tunes. Their 1991 album Bandwagonesque is a classic and has no doubt influenced many of todays musicians. You won’t find much better than the guitar and harmonies in this live performance of the song “The Concept”. Enjoy and don’t forget to check out the new album… continue reading...
Man these guys are old! But they did sound alright for couple of guys in their mid sixties… continue reading...
I’d say no… but don’t tell that to the UK press! Reason #1 would be that he’s opening up for Lady Gaga… nothing against her, but the love-child comparison and Lady Gaga doesn’t seem to synch up. Decide for yourself:
With his geek-chic style and earnest, heartfelt ballads, Gary Go is quickly becoming the newest hero of the UK pop scene with rave reviews and a fiercely devoted following. His self-produced first album and the lead single “Wonderful”, which the BBC calls a “shimmering slice of sing-along song craft”, are climbing the charts and have earned him the opening spot on Lady Gaga’s upcoming European tour. continue reading...

Man its good to have these guys back! The more I hear this new single, the more I like it. The brand spanking new video fits the song well and it seems Richard Ashcroft has been in suspended animation since the band was last in the spotlight. Lets hope this new album called, Fourth, continues where the Verve left off… Enjoy the new video: continue reading...
The Darkness. Wow. I loved these guys, and it might be because they were so isolated in my music memory, and that’s why I think of them so fondly, but there’s no denying they were entertaining. I don’t think any song in their (2 album) catalog better exemplifies their sound than their first single, “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”… guitar solos piled on top of each other and the most ridiculous falsetto chorus lines you’ve ever heard all sandwiched between hard driving power chords. The video for this song made things even more unbelievable… seeing what the band looked like only made things seem more confusing. Are these guys for real? Is this a parody band? The video had space ships, monsters, lightning shooting out of guitars and everything in between, but somehow it all worked.
The Darkness became insanely popular, mostly because they actually backed themselves up with decent songs, but also because they stuck to their guns and had an image that recalled everything goofy about the 80’s hair metal scene and made it semi-cool again. That’s pretty impressive. Watch the video and remember: continue reading...
