The best bands you’ve not yet heard
After being talent-spotted in a club night featuring jazz-playing badgers, psychics and burlesque puppeteers, Glaswegian electro pop five piece A Band Called Quinn (fronted by singer/songwriter Louise Quinn) toured Britain last year with award winning theatre company Vanishing Point, in a futuristic update of John Gay’s 18th Century classic The Beggar’s Opera.
The show was a spectacle. Pitched somewhere between a gig and a play it courted much controversy in the theatre world, dividing the critics with reviews ranging from 1-5 stars. Their next album is a record of the songs written specially for the show.
Britain’s best selling crime writer and Rebus creator Ian Rankin has written sleevenotes for the album; other famous fans include Madonna, Parisian superstar DJ Kid Loco, who has collaborated with the band in the past as has Alex Kapranos, indie legends The Pastels and Echo and The Bunnymen guitarist Gordy Goudie.
Their music has been used in films by award-winning directors David McKenzie and Penny Woolcock and they have three tracks featured on forthcoming BBC3 series Lip Service out this Autumn.

So I just read on the BBC Website that Guns N’ Roses were booed and bottled off stage in Dublin. This follows the debacle at Reading festival last weekend. Fair enough, nobody deserves to have piss-missiles thrown at them, but if you turn up late what the hell-else are fans supposed to do to make [...]
Colour of Sound are a group of musicians who write and perform with enough heart and soul to fill the Albert Hall and comprise of four immensely talented musicians: Rod da Rosa – lead vocals / Twin brothers Harry Mead – drums and Fraser MacColl – lead guitar ./ Jake Morley on bass
The Libertines have reformed. With all the absolute garbage clogging up the airwaves at the moment, people think we’ve still got room for more. Do we really need a second dose of this wretched excuse for a band? Their first album was hailed as a “masterpiece” by Zane Lowe, which should tell you all you [...]
Despite the rain and mud, were roaming performance artists and musicians, art installations and food in plentiful supply.
An overwhelming need to be a bit quirky and focus on mythical worlds rather than the music.

In early summer 2010, young singer/songwriter Pete Lawrie spent four days touring his native Wales, playing impromptu acoustic sets across the country in a range of unique and beautiful locations.
Clashes and bangs triumphantly to a wonderful peak and eventually crushes itself to a close with a satisfied clatter.
If you can look past the dodgy intro, or just particularly like carnivals, then you won’t be disappointed by ‘Sleepless’.
Ah. Festivals. I was supposed to go to so many this year and then life and Wedding Season got in the way and well, before I knew it September was upon us. Luckily, I am going to one festival this year, and that is Offset. I’ll be checking out loads of bands including John & [...]
