The trailer for Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol has just been released. Directed by Brian Bird, I think one of the most interesting things about this is how Simon Pegg will work in a non comedy role.

Video: Noah And The Whale – Life is Life
This year has been good for gigs and by far the loudest audience at a gig was when Noah and The Whale played The Academy earlier this year. Life is Life has been announced as the new single from ‘Last Night on Earth’. I love the sub bass rumble on this track, I’ve been listening to it this afternoon and decided to share. Enjoy!

Toxic at the Project Arts Centre

Nova Static: Nova Static EP Review
Laois band Nova Static have been knocking around the Irish music scene for a couple of years but recently seem to have a growth spurt supporting a couple of UK touring bands. Their self titled EP is a good introduction.The E.P. starts with ‘Seven’ a moderate tempo rock track. The band show good musicianship throughout.

It clocks in at just over 4 minutes, a radio edit, making this closer to three minutes might be an idea. This is as good as anything currently on the XFM playlist. (more…)
