[GIG REVIEW] Alex G @ 100 Club 20th October 2015

It seems bad to start a live review by referencing an artist that has nothing to do with band playing, but the first thing that strikes you as you walk into the 100 club is the similarity in the demographic of the audience, and the overall feeling of excited adulation, to a Mac Demarco show. But whereas Mac arouses this reaction through sheer force of personality, Alex Giannascoli, AKA Alex G, does it through the sheer power of his song-writing. One of the most prolific artists of the past couple of years, Alex has made a name for himself by producing cool, laid-back yet truly emotional songs, and indirectly become a ‘generation X’ pin-up for a swathe of disenchanted indie kids. Tonight’s set draws from the highlights of his 4 albums, naturally leaning heavily on recently released ‘Beach Music’ and break-out LP ‘DSU’. Taking to the stage in a low-key manner, Giannascoli and band faff around setting up before launching into the one-two punch of ‘Beach Music’ singles ‘Bug’ and ...

Introducing... KRAFTKLUB

Music from Germany doesn't exactly have the best reputation. Music IN German is usually pretty bad. One of the exceptions to this "tradition" is German band KRAFTKLUB. Describing their music isn't an easy task, leading to every music magazine in Germany assigning them to a different genre. If the band from Chemnitz, a city in former eastern Germany, were an instrumental band they would sound like an indie guitar band, similar to the Arctic Monkeys. But that's a big IF, since there's the not-so-small matter of lead singer Felix Brummer (whose brother Till plays bass for KRAFTKLUB). With him rapping often ironic and humorous lyrics and guitarist Karl Schumann occasionally singing they don't fit into any standard genre. In their song "Eure Mädchen", a song featured on FIFA 13, they claim: "Wir machen Pop Musik", (We make pop music) ironically showing that they themselves don't care who listens to their music and what their fans l...

19 Of The Best British Female Vocalists

British vocalists always get praise all over the world, but a portion of them get over-looked at festivals and when radio stations do their 'playlists'. This is just a total shambles for equality and can be seen as sexist, especially when a certain festival rhyming with Bedding and Beads books an incredibly small amount of acts including a female - let alone female vocalists. I'm a guy and can't stand it that in 2018 sexism exists still, especially in the music industry when people write about their deepest feelings and express them to all. Below is a MASSIVE list of acts that have a female vocalist leading the group or an astonishing singer-songwriter proving that gender is just a word and you should be judged on music. If we go by these rules, if anything, the men will be put to shame! Fickle Friends Gabrielle Aplin Lucy Rose Wolf Alice Frances CHVRCHES Oh Wonder YONAKA ...

Oasis: Their Enduring Impact on Music and Hints of a 2026/27 Tour

Few bands have left as profound a mark on modern rock as Oasis . Emerging in the early 1990s from Manchester, the group — fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher — quickly rose to global fame with their signature blend of Britpop swagger, anthemic melodies, and unforgettable choruses. Today, decades after their debut, Oasis remain a cultural touchstone, their influence stretching across generations of indie and rock acts . The Oasis Sound and Legacy Oasis’ defining sound combined gritty guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and lyrics that balanced working-class grit with poetic ambition. Albums like Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) became instant classics, propelling the band into international superstardom. Tracks such as Wonderwall , Don’t Look Back in Anger , and Champagne Supernova are now timeless sing-alongs that have transcended the era they were created in. Their influence can be heard in countless bands that followed, from Arctic Monkeys...

New Sunday reveals their stunning single, "The Empty Street"

Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, is home to New Sunday, a studio project that has got some incredible sounds to them. The single is "The Empty Street," the third since launching early this year, and is a whimsical blend of cinematic acoustic music and driving folk beats, with some contemporary pop vocals polishing it off. ... a stunning cinematic folk-pop journey filled with soothing strings and atmospheric beauty. Built around songwriter Einar Askelsson's carefully crafted compositions, the track showcases her vocals and her attention to detail with her music. It is simply stunning, with the atmospheric sounds and the soothing violin strings offering you plenty of opportunities to feel like you can end up disappearing into her back catalogue of music. The song is incredibly well-written, with stunning vocals and incredible instrumentation. I feel like this is simply the beginning of this project and is no doubt one of the best rising artists that Iceland currently has. Want u...

Single Review... Ideals - Reflections

A standard Tuesday waiting around for the evening and what happens? Ideals suddenly release a FREE download of 'Reflections' An utter surprise and a lovely track to listen to on quite a dull day in Cambridge. I remember hearing this track way back in January when they headlined the Haymakers in Cambridge, still it lingered in my mind as one of those tracks always does, you can't remember much but when you hear the studio version you just get bowled over! Catchy hooks, riffs, pulsating bass lines and the drummer working so hardly make this track become one with Andrews catchy lyircs. "And if he looks in the mirror and sees a reflection Of a boy on the path to redemption" They seem to be getting better and better as time goes on by, this song (so far) is the jewel of the crown in their collection of songs... for now maybe? I think this can be one of their tracks that stands the test of time, much like 'Lungs' which I still listen to and will always love. Ide...

Riri Rose unveils her nostalgic new song, "Questions I’ll Never Know"

Out of the music scene in Lincolnshire, England, is Riri Rose, and the singer-songwriter has recently released a personal new single, "Questions I'll Never Know." ... a sensational debut with a cinematic, nostalgic acoustic track that blends Britpop charm with stunning vocals. The new offering is the first track to be lifted from her new album, and it draws inspiration from her growing up in a small village in Lincolnshire. It's incredibly acoustic, and Riri's vocals are simply stunning throughout, with the clean acoustic guitar tones paving the way for you to get truly stuck into it. It's cinematic and nostalgic at the same time, with some influences that sound almost like Britpop and the early 2000s singer-songwriter scene, with echoes of KT Tunstall and Corinne Bailey Rae. I personally loved the cinematic backing, as heard in the final third of the track. It really helps to bring the song together and to give the listener a long-lasting impression. Be sure ...

The Origins of Indie Rock Music: From Underground Roots to Global Stages

Indie rock music is one of the most beloved and influential genres in modern music. Known for its DIY ethos, raw authenticity, and refusal to conform to mainstream industry norms, indie rock has evolved from underground beginnings into a global movement. But where did indie rock come from, and how did it grow into the genre we know today? What Does “Indie Rock” Mean? The term “indie” originally stood for independent . In the late 1970s and early 1980s, bands that weren’t signed to major record labels released their music through smaller independent labels . Over time, the word “indie” became less about the business model and more about the sound and attitude —raw, experimental, and often outside the mainstream. The 1970s: Punk and Post-Punk Influence Indie rock’s origins are deeply tied to the punk rock explosion of the mid-1970s. Bands like The Sex Pistols and The Clash proved that music didn’t need polished production or major backing to make an impact. Out of punk came post-punk ...

Melinda Joy & Son of Cormack reveal the dreamy new song, "Out of the Blue"

Austin, Texas-based Melinda Joy & Son of Cormack take listeners on a whimsical and romantic journey with "Out of the Blue." This is a collaborative single and is Melinda's first track to be released since her 2020 release "Beautiful Illusions." ... a whimsical blend of dreamy indie folk, Americana rock, and beautifully balanced vocals. The track is, quite simply put, four minutes of dreamy indie folk mixed with clean Americana rock. I personally loved the blend of vocals on this, with Melinda's sweet tones balanced off with George's deeper tones. It was a wonderful first listening experience, and I was very much getting excited to give this a second play even before the halfway point of my first spin. The song was originally conceived as a poem but has now evolved into what it is. It's a fantastic piece of music, and the heartfelt song is out now for your listening pleasure. Be sure to follow Melinda Joy and Son of Cormack as soon as you're d...
