Artubus Yarns have done it again, this time with a video of rehearsal footage for Planet Parade who are about to open for Bell X1 on their UK & European Tour. Steve Mogerley has done a fine job directing this, showing the behind the scenes of the life of a rock band. Nice one!

I don’t think I’d heard of Paul Shevlin until his disc landed on my desk. Realistically, a lot of first releases tend to be a let down, releasing material a tad too early can be an artist’s downfall.
With Backfire (Set Them All Alight) there isn’t that problem at all. Released on DiDiMau Records the single shows Paul Shevlin to be a competent musician and songwriter of piano led indie rock. From the offset, it’s full steam ahead, where Shevlin has a distinct advantage here is that his music and style will cross markets and genres. While his press release says he has played with Duke Special, his sound could easily be stretch to the pop punk market. This is quite apparent during the first verse of Backfire. It’s a nicely produced, radio friendly track with some great subtle brass sounds. Melikes. (more…)
London based rock quintet, Japanese Voyeurs are currently on tour and about to release their debut album ‘Yolk’, I caught up with lead singer Romily Alice and chatted about touring, recording and guitar pedals.
You rescheduled your Dublin date because of recording commitments but you were recording with GGGarth Richardson (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine), who is a bit of a legend, what was it like working with Garth?
‘Yeah, he’s amazing, we didn’t think that we would get to work with someone like that, then when he heard the demos, he like it so he came over, saw a show, met us and we were all really nervous about it until we met him. Once we met him, he’s such a good man, funny and warm, you completely forget that he’s done all this amazing stuff and you just become really friendly….’
