What ever happened to Grime, how exactly does it manifest itself now? Scru Fizzer seems like an exciting prospect, first making his name back in 2009 he’s done what all respectable MC’s do and added a pop chorus to his work in a bid for some crossover success. We’re not knocking the method and Scru Fizzer does a very good job of it, bringing back the super quick flow he was originally told to ditch so people could understand what he was saying – check breakout track ‘Spit Slow’. ‘Be Someone’ brings the west Londoner back up to ...

The Temper Trap confound expectations on the follow-up to 2009’s widely successful ‘Conditions’, writes DARREN LEVIN . In a scathing, two-star review of their new album, UK critic Alexis Petridis likened The Temper Trap’s musing on the London riots to Air Supply taking a stab at Thatcherism. Writing in The Guardian , he said that while “uniquely placed” to write on the riots – having relocated from Melbourne in 2009 – the band had really nothing to say. “The sense of a band who felt impelled to write about the riots without first checking whether or not they had anything to say ...

Das Greenville Festival gibt vier neue Künstler bekannt, die sich dieses Jahr vom 27. bis zum 30. Juli in Paaren/Glien die Ehre geben. Zuletzt wurde neben den erprobten Rockern Donots ebenfalls das Singer/Songwriter-Kollektiv We Invented Paris bestätigt ( motor.de berichtete ). Nun vergrößert zusätzlich die britische Countryfolk-Sängerin Gemma Ray das Line Up. Sie wird von Kritikern als " Norah Jones auf Amy Winehouse 's Drogen" beschrieben. Ebenso spannend ist das ehemalige Schulband-Quartett The Kabeedies, das seinen poppigen Rockabilly-Sound in diesem Sommer auch auf die Bühnen des Greenville Festivals tragen wird. Von den vier Männern alias Dinosaur Truckers gibt es mit ...

Today we introduce a new band that press Breaking More Waves buttons, tick all of our boxes and massage our ears in exactly the right way. They’re called Churches and consist of Iain Cook, Lauren Mayberry and Martin Doherty from Glasgow. All members of the trio have past or present histories with other bands, namely Aerogramme, The Unwinding Hours, Blue Sky Archives and The Twilight Sad but Churches sound nothing like any of those bands. Instead their debut track Lies is a rampantly banging electropop track. It’s the audio equivalent of up-on-the-benches sex with a horny lab technician ...

Wiley and Dizzee Rascal may well have been planning a re-union at last weekend's Eskimo Dance. Together, Wiley and Dizzee Rascal helped propel British music into the world of Grime. As young MCs, the pair would trade off verse on pirate radio, pushing each other further and further on a nightly basis. Falling out in 2003 after Dizzee Rascal was stabbed in Ayia Napa, their relationship has remained on ice ever since. However events over the weekend indicate that the pair could have been close to a re-union. Wiley held another instalment of his Eskimo Dance nights, and at ...

Author:  Chantelle Fiddy Category:  Reviews Sub Category:  Tunes Summary:  Jessie Ware Running (Disclosure remix) (PMR) Soulful garage has come back in a big way, and Disclosure isn’t letting the side down on this going-over of Jessie Ware’s ‘Running’. While the original exudes pure Sade vibes, this blog and club hit is reminiscent of Kristina Blonde’s ‘Love Shy’, Ware’s vocal adding an extra portion of soul food to the mix.
