Meat Loaf - Interview
Armed with a batch of questions covering his entire forty-six year career, what we didn't quite expect was for Meat Loaf to barely pause for breath in what effectively turned out to be pretty much a one-way conversation.
Kassidy - I Can't Fly Video
Kassidy's new single, I Can't Fly, was released on February 27th, 2012. Their second studio album, One Man Army, will be released on April 30th through Vertigo and is available to pre order now. Kassidy have also announced a UK tour, which will take place throughout March 2012.
Alcoholic Faith Mission - Ask Me This Album Review
This record is a very far cry from their debut, 'Misery Loves Company.' They've developed themselves from a timid acoustic band to a much more fascinating outfit with a hefty load of charm.
Crybaby - I Cherish The Heartbreak... Video
Crybaby 's debut single, I Cherish The Heartbreak More Than The Love That I Lost, will be released on March 19th, 2012 through Helium Records. His eponymous debut album will be released on April 9th 2012.
Sinead O'connor - How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? Album Review
Now is the time to once again start appreciating Sinead O'connor for her musical artistry and legacy rather than for anything else, primarily because, 'How About I Be Me' is her best work since 2000's 'Faith & Courage'.
Cygnets - Dark Days Video
Cygnets' new single, Teenager, is the lead single taken from their upcoming second album Dark Days, which will be released on March 6th, 2012. As well as purchasing it, there is also the option of downloading it for free from the band's website.
Wiley - Evolve Or Be Extinct Album Review
Given that this is Wiley's third outing in in the last 12 months - that's if you count the download only EP-ish Chill Out Zone of course - it seems easy to draw the fairly obvious conclusion that Richard Cowie remains one of the most restless men in UK hip-hop.
Rendezvous - Another Round Please Album Review
It seems like the trend these days is to create rock/electronic music, a fusion of two very different genres. This is something that Israeli club duo Rendezvous seem to have unwittingly managed quite successfully with their latest release, club/electronica compilation Another Round Please.
Wale - Slight Work Video
Slight Work is the new single from Wale and features fellow rapper Big Sean and was produced by Diplo. The track is featured on Wale's new album 'Ambition' which also features collaborations with Kid Cudi, Lloyd and Rick Ross.
Caveman - CoCo Beware Album Review
The tracks are infectiously likeable and on the track 'Decide' we see the band demonstrate their inoffensive brand of alt-rock to full effect. Front-man Mathew Iwanusa's sound comes somewhere between James Mercer and Martin Courtney, with the music sounding not too dissimilar from the respective bands of Mercer and Courtney.
Gonjasufi - The Blame Video
Gonjasufi's new single, The Blame, will be released on March 26th, through Warp Records. It is taken from his new mini album MU. ZZ. LE, which was released in January 2012 as a CD and double 10".
Lights - Siberia Album Review
Siberia screams one thing - bigger, better, more mature and more anthemic than before. Lights has gone into overdrive to create popular, catchy, sing along electro-pop, with a much more 'real' feeling to it than previous releases.
Ane Brun - Worship Video
Worship, is the second single from Ane Brun's highly acclaimed fourth studio album, It All Starts With One, which was released in October 2011. A deluxe version of the album, which will feature twenty tracks, will be released on April 2nd, 2012.
Funeral Suits - All Those Friendly People Video

Django Django - Nottingham Bodega Social 24th February Live Review
Django Django do not let racking up a multi-decade list of reference points get in the way of writing irresistible ear-worms that translate perfectly in both claustrophobic confines holding merely a couple hundred and, as will surely be proven this summer, endless festival fields.
Beirut - Vagabond Video
Beirut's new single, Vagabond, is the latest to be taken from their successful third studio album, The Rip Tide, which was released in August 2011. The band has announced a European tour, which will take place throughout May and June 2012.
Seeker Lover Keeper - Seeker Lover Keeper Album Review
Seeker Lover Keeper is the self-titled album from three of Australia's most significant female talents. Sarah Blasko, Sally Seltmann and Holly Throsby have all played a part in shaping the contemporary musical landscape of the antipodean shores.
Girls - My Ma Video
Girls ' new single, My Ma , will be limited to 1000 copies on its release on May 22nd, 2012. It is the fourth single from their second album, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, which was released in September 2011. Christopher Owens and Chet JR White formed Girls in 2007 .
Decibels - The Lesser EP Review
The bleeps and sequences the Decibels have mixed together are already creating waves in the music scene having already appeared on BBC Radio One and a host of local BBC Introducing shows.
