  • aidan: Bells of the Morning (video)

    It gives me great pleasure in being able to show you the new video from aidan. This is the lead track from his current album ‘Le grand discours’, a review of which shall be on the virtual pages of this very blog as soon as I get my thesis done. Sit back and enjoy the wonder of stop motion and the wonder of aidan’s 360 degree somersault! Tout fait extraordinaire!

  • Free Music Monday 16/04/2012: Hadouken!

    hadoukenThere’s nothing like getting some really great new music for free. This week’s recommendation the stomperific ‘Parasite’ from Hadouken! It’s the first track to be taken from Hadouken’s upcoming album and it got its first play on Zane Lowe’s show on BBC 1 last Thursday, not a bad start at all!

  • Tune Of The Week 13/04/2012: Twin Atlantic

    Twin AtlanticI’ve liked Twin Atlantic for a while and was lucky enough to chat to singer Sam last year. The band are in the middle of Irish & UK tour and recently came off a US tour where they supported You Me At Six and The Swellers, they’ll also be opening for Blink 182 on some dates in the UK.

    All these dates have given their album ‘Free’, a new lease of life and This week’s tune of the week is the new single taken from ‘Free’, it’s called ‘Make a Beast of Myself’.
