Detroit Social Club - Existence (Album Review)

Existence is the debut album from Detroit Social Club, it is an indie anthem filled ten track record which impresses from start to finish. After already supporting some great acts and with some fantastic festival sets coming up, there is no doubt that this group have big things ahead of them.

There are some fantastic influences in the medley from the psychedelic experimentation of Kasabian to the wonderful vocal talents of Kelly Jones from The Stereophonics, hints of The Verve, Melodic talents of Primal Scream and Rock and Roll attitude of The Rolling Stones.

The Drums - The Drums (ALBUM REVIEW)

Let’s begin with a little story about a record label, Factory Records, a pioneering label set up by Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus, in the 70’s, which was all about Manchester, all about the groups, the passion, the desire, the class, the art and most importantly the music.

Factory Records was a pioneering label which was not about profit margins or number 1 singles, but about great groups and great music.

It is because of Factory Records that we have Joy Division, Durutti Column, The Wake, A Certain Ratio, James, New Order, Happy Mondays and so many more who were influenced by these and more.

FEATURE: This Ain’t A Love Song... So What’s New?
Features
Saturday, 12 June 2010 Written by David Evans


Before I get started on the meat and two veg, so to speak, it would be wrong to borrow the song title without paying tribute to Scouting for Girls’ well-deserved success. They are a hardworking band; write genuinely good pop songs and are tireless in support of their two chosen charities. I like them a lot … I’m also grateful to Roy and the boys for prodding a notion that has been cat-napping at the back of my mind for way to long …

It’s that time of year when I could be forgiven for waxing lyrical about cloudless skies and butterflies hovering around pink-hued acacia blooms; but more than likely, it’s the sight of tawny-limbed lovelies in tight-fitting tank-tops and flouncy rah-rah skirts that stirs the romantic man in me. And what’s more, a stroll through any city centre would show that I’m not a stand-alone guy.

Less Than Jake Return With November UK Tour Dates & Tickets

You'd think that almost two full years of near-nonstop touring would deserve a long break, but such is not the case for ska/punk/pop pioneers LESS THAN JAKE who are continuing their trek across the Atlantic and into Europe and UK with punk-rap legends Zebrahead.

"We were used to being in the UK and Europe three times a year like clockwork but we took some time away for some new projects," says LTJ drummer Vinnie Fiorello. "Now we are coming back and can't wait to be back doing a full tour."

This tour with Zebrahead is a special one since the bands have been friends for over a decade. "We've known the Zebrahead guys since 1997 and being able to share a tour with them again makes the journey full circle," he continues.
