Track Reviews
The Violet May – What You Say
OK, so I may have been a bit late in latching on to this band, OK very late, but I am so so glad that I have now! I first heard The Violet May while I was drooling over a Kate Moss commercial for god knows what, when my ears pricked up as I heard [...]
Pale – Too Much
The UK continues to bubble with brilliant music, and now along comes a band called Pale to add an extra splash of colour to the music scene canvas. I wish I could tell you about this band, but all I can say at the moment is they are from London, that is all! Who knows, [...]
Kodaline – All I Want
You may remember the Slow Skies review i did last month, a great up and coming Dublin band. It really is quite staggering how much good music is coming out if Irland at the moment, and Kodaline might just be my favorite folk drug to date, and not a Ikea kitchen cabinet in sight (cheeky [...]
Slow Skies – Oscar
I must admit, I am a sucker for folk music! Especially with the Mumford & Sons led rebirth of the genre, which I think has given us some of the best music the UK has seen for some time. Slow Skies is a musical project by Dubliner Karen Sheridan, who started the band in winter [...]
Andrew Bird – Three White Horses
I had heard a lot about Andrew Bird, but when TMK went to Field Day 2012 at Victoria Park in London, the sheer number of spectators that gathered by the main stage as his performance drew near indicated to me that this guy and his band were hitting the right spot in so many ways. [...]
Savoir Adore – Dreamers
New York really is the mecca for great new American music at the moment! I’ve always thought of NYC as being the birth place of Hip Hop, bagels, a top quality accent, and terrible Mafia films (sorry Andy Clarke). Recently however almost every game changing band I come across is from this great city, and [...]
Rihanna Featuring Mikky Ekko – Stay
Having somehow just released just her seventh album in as many years, the cynics among us may feel that the latest November release adds further weight to their argument to suggest that the Bajan starlet, or her greedy record label at least are more concerned with sheer volume of product rather than substance. Similar to [...]
Young Empires – White Doves
Ok, I admit it, I don’t know a lot about Canada, short of Maple syrup, and beating the Americans up in Ice Hockey, I know next to nothing, oh except it’s always fun getting a Canadian person to pronounce “out” words . This is why the band Young Empires came as such a surprise to [...]
The Airborne Toxic Event – Sometime Around Midnight
The Airborne Toxic Event come from Los Feliz in Los Angeles, which, as Joel Fabian recently mentioned on air, is a hot bed for great music at the moment. They have been around since 2006, and have two albums to their name, with a third untitled album under way… The song “Sometime Around Midnight” is [...]
Mew – New Terrain / Nervous
Denmark has got some amazing exports… Carlsberg, Peter Schmeichel, and Danepak to name but a few. Musically though, a lot of people could be forgiven for not really knowing any major names to come out of this southern-most Scandanavian country. However, there is one band that has been making waves for a number of years, [...]
