Jim Valentine. Remember that name? We introduced you to them last week, whilst also stating that they were possibly the best discovery we've made via 'Introducing...' so far. Well, this week their debut track, 'Make You Mine', is to be our Single Of The Week and it's no surprise as to wh...

Cage the Elephants latest single, 'Cigarette Daydreams', is our Single Of The Week for this week. Taken from their latest album, 'Melophobia', the track has been recieving a lot of love of late, hence the reason why the Kentuckians decided to release it as a single. 

Track 10 of 10 on 'Melophobia', 'Cigarette Daydreams' is perfectly placed. Following the engineered racket of 'Teeth' on track 9 as well as the prior exuberancy exerted by Matt Schul...

Sometimes when we're unable to find a new single worthy of our Single Of The Week title we retrace our steps and re-discover a single that made our ears melt from a time ago. That is why 'Dripping Down' by the Mercury Prize Award nominated artist East India Youth is our Single Of The Week...

Friday. 2 days of sickening intoxication and roughing it in a shabby pop up tent have already taken place. The atmosphere in the Festival Republic Stage has been set with a quick 30 minute set from The Fat White Family with their combination of sleazy blues, and a stage presence that hails both from punk rock as well as grunge. As their set closes a flock of fuzzy headed teens with skinny jeans and pre-rolled joints shuffle towards the dimly lighted stage.

Though 'Ten Tonne Skeleton' may not be an official single by Royal Blood, it's still been awarded the title of our Single Of The Week for this week for the pure reason of it being absolutely brilliant.

Track number nine of ten on 'Royal Blood', 'T...

Our Single Of The Week for this week, 'I Wanna Get Out Of Here But I Can't Take You Anywhere', may not be so new in itself, but it most probably will be to those of whom'll be reading this and if it is, you certainly need to give it a listen and quick. 

Ming City Rockers are a band on a rapid rise, after supporting Palma Violets on numerous occasions, the Mings are set to release their self titled debut album on the 15th September and if 'I Wanna Get Ou...

We're finally back from Leeds Festival, although still we're recovering. We imagine Reading would've been just as good, therefore we have narrowed down the top 10 artists at both festivals over bank holiday weekend. 

10. Metronomy 

Devonshire groove Gods Metronomy performed an extremely dance-worthy set inside of the NME/BBC Radio 1 tent. Playing tracks from their latest release, 'Love Letters' as well as closing on the eve...

Following The Libertines' dramatic reunion, Jamie T thought it was time he did similar and it's fair to say everyone's more than glad he did. 

'Zombie', is our Single Of The Week for this week. The latest release from the much missed South Londoner following the ever so brilliant prior release, 'Don't You Find', the song of which announced Ja...

With Reading and Leeds just around the corner and us being beyond excited, we thought we'd highlight who the 10 unmissable acts to see at this years festivals are. Starting with... 

10. Palma Violets 

Palma Violets ahave been pretty quiet lately but, they're back to headline the Festival Republic stage at Reading and Leeds this year and be expectant of big things. Chilli Jesson and the band have a reputation of going absolutely off the...

Why are introducing shows always on at stupid o clock? A question that popped into our heads this week. But, why are they on at such a late and incovenient time? 

BBC's 'BBC Introducing' and Xfm's 'Xposure' are both brilliant radio shows that each help new and unsigned talent recieve air play and make a name for themselves. But, why should each have to be on past 10pm? Admittedly, 'BBC Introducing' also runs through local stations, which highligh...
