Rock'N'Roll Sensations The Baseballs Reveal October Tour Dates & Tickets

Three certified, out-and-out rock'n'roll singers complete with rockabilly forelocks happened to meet in a tea room in a typical heavy metal rehearsal bunker in Berlin. They recognise each other based on their common hairstyle, start jamming and form a band whose debut album lands in shops across the country a little later. Sounds far-fetched? But it's true. Now after some blistering festival appearances they have announced their own headline UK Tour in the autumn.

By mistake, Sam wanted to audition for a cover band and made his way from southern Germany to Berlin. Digger lived in Cologne, but was visiting his big sister and helping out in his brother-in-law's band. And Basti lived in Berlin anyway. It must have been Fate. This was a new evolution of the musical heritage of Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly & Co.: "Voc'n'Roll" was born and The Baseballs at the same time.

The Boxer Rebellion 'Going The Distance' with Drew Barrymore

Word-of-mouth indie phenomenon The Boxer Rebellion are to star in, and feature on the soundtrack of the new Drew Barrymore film 'Going the Distance'.

Out with cheesy string arrangements, over the top orchestral meandering or sickeningly 'heartfelt' indie-pop and in with a film soundtrack for true music fans - the soundtrack to new film 'Going the Distance' certainly does go the extra mile.

Still brimming with new and vibrant ideas - Molko and Olsdal returned to the form of one-on-one writing that had started the band back in 1994. By the summer of 2008 they'd amassed eighteen new songs, the freshest material they'd ever taken into the studio. They'd also amassed a new young drummer, 22-year-old Californian Steve Forrest, whom they first spotted playing with one of their US support bands Evaline in 2006.

Iconic Dance DJ Chicane Announce London HMV Forum Gig & Tickets

90's dance music icons Chicane, aka DJ Nick Bracegirdle, will retun to the capital later this year having revealed a headline show at London's HMV Forum on November 5th to support the new album 'Giants', which is out this week.

It's been some fourteen years (if you include Disco Citizens tracks) since Bracegirdle arrived as the 'God of the Ibiza anthem'. Some records are of their time and stay there, some somehow form a bedrock in musical consciousness, 'Offshore' certainly has done that: millions would have heard the track and most likely not know who it was by; as with other Chicane tracks, their usage as incidental tunes on TV around the world is phenomenal: 'No Ordinary Morning' as the theme tune to a soup opera in the Philippines!

Teeth - See Spaces/Time Changes (Single Review)

See Spaces/Time Changes, is the debut single release from Teeth. An East London dance act who may just be a little special. Using pulsating rave beats, euphoric synth melodies and sci-fi vocals they create a dazzling wall of electronic noise.

This two track medley blasts through your ear drums with the subtlety of a lump hammer, yet the appreciation of timing and rhythm constructs a sound, which stripped back to its raw elements, is as intricately put together as a Swiss watch.
