New: The Cast of Cheers – Family

Luo — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:12:10 +0000

It’s hard to believe that ‘Family’ is The Cast of Cheers first proper debut single. The band have been on many an Irish fans radar since they released their debut EP Chariot as a free download on bandcamp back in 2010. They’re a band that all of us felt had an insane amount of potential, [...]

Posted in Play-This-List

The first time I heard anything by Matthew Dear, it was in remix form – his take on The XX’s track VCR pretty much blew my mind. Since then he’s released Black City in 2010 and now 2012 sees the release of an EP, Headage. The most intruging track from the EP is ‘In The [...]

Since the holidays we’ve been slightly neglecting Weekend Tunage every Friday, but this week it’s back and it’s a bit of a family affair! My brother Francesco and I have pretty much aligned music taste, he’s introduced me to new bands and I’ve introduced him to a few more! I asked him to choose a [...]

Almost a year to the day, we posted a watchlistentell video of Alex Winston performing a stripped back version of ‘Choice Notes’, from that moment on we were hooked and have been avidly following her development since then. This cheery and jangly tune finally has the bright visuals to match it, along with three dancing [...]

Just before the new year, Miike Snow gave us the first taste of what their new album might sound like with ‘Devil’s Work’, today we’ve got one more piece of the puzzle: ‘Paddling Out’ – this bodes well for the new album which is titled Happy To You and due out on the 27th March [...]

One to Watch – Jagwar Ma

One of the best tunes I’ve heard this year! Well, as 2012 is less than 2 weeks old that’s not saying much, but this tune ‘Come Save Me‘ by former Lost Valentino, Jagwar Ma is pleasing me no end. It’s starts with a Phil Spector-ish wall of sound drumbeat reminiscent of The Ronettes, Be my [...]

The video was directed by Chris Milk and Anthony Francisco Shepperd. Also worth checking out is the Rome interactive experience (also by Chris Milk) which was released last [...]

Watch Out 2012: Clock Opera

Posted in Play-This-List

If there is but one band that we whole-heartidily wish success in 2012, Clock Opera is the one. I’ve been a long time fan of the band, first falling in love with Guy Connelly’s various remixes and then witnessing Clock Opera grow into a fully flegded four piece band with an output of exciting original [...]

Posted in Music Videos Play-This-List

San Cisco are an indie pop band from Australia that have produced the above song that’s been firmly stuck in my head since I first listened to it on New Years Day. ‘Awkward’ is a quirky relationship call and response song between lead singer Jordi Davieson and drummer Scarlett Stevens – I just hope it’s [...]
