ONE TO WATCH: Lydia BaylisUnderground Sounds by Tim Osbourne Tim Osbourne is a Music writer in the UK. He covers emerging artists for rslblog.com Lydia Baylis has made an early career out of building powerful and anthemic folk-ridden tracks that can seamlessly resonate with most everyone. Lyrically, she is challenging and provocative, but the material this artist comes out with is still absolutely and completely accessible for fans of modern indie music. Indeed, one of the most impressive things about the artist is how closely she holds her musical influences to the heart. The “raw-ness” of Van Morrison is definitely present, alongside the ...Ryan's Smashing Life24 May 2012

Red Light Company - Fine Fascination (2009) ..Occasionally something comes along and I find it difficult to decide whether it is something which has the flair of original creativity about it, or whether it is a complete load of shit. The 2009 contender for the ‘Are-you-really-what-you-pretend-to-be' Award goes to Red Light Company for their debut album, Fine Fascination . I am deeply suspicious of bands who have managed to get themselves a record deal before they have even played a single gig and before they have recruited permanent members for more than half the line up. It smacks to me of either being too clever by half or ...Music Emissions20 May 2012

We Could Go Far: The SoundOn the 18th of May of each year, fans from all over the world make a pilgrimage to the pit of Lancashire known as Macclesfield to pay tribute to Ian Curtis. Coming up to the thirty second year since death at his own hand, the passion of fans has only become more fervent whilst the commercialisation of his death has reached its lowest ebb, sneakers, bath-towels, Disney t-shirts, his band's bass player hawking third rate cover versions, that kinda thing. I'll take my life Into my own hands I'm the one that I will blame I'm ...Clash Music17 May 2012

MY MY HAVEN'T THE 33 YEARS FLOWN BY....The first Thursday in May is always, by tradition, one that sees elections take place in the UK. This year, it is mostly for local councils but also for the Mayor of London. Exactly 33 years ago to the day, on Thursday 3 May 1979, the country went to the polls. And with a 5.2% swing, the largest ever seen since 1945, threw out the Labour government led by Jim Callaghan and voted in our first and to date only female prime minister. Margaret Thatcher would be in 10 Downing Street for the next eleven and a half years ...THE VINYL VILLAIN3 May 2012

Buy Expensive Plastic, You Capitalist Pigs! ..Hey, look, I'm alive! Surprised? I am. Record Store Day is coming up this Saturday, so I figured I should make some attempt at doing something here, even though I am Scotland's laziest music blogger. Me and RSD don't really get on that much, in part because I don't buy much vinyl, and in part because I call shops shops, not stores. For a more enthusiastic bit about record shops hop over to our pals at Echoes and Dust . One good thing about Record Store Day is that you can always catch some bands playing for ...Aye Tunes19 April 2012

Zambri - House Of BaasaWhen critics say that "this is the band that will be on everyone's lips," this really means that you have a short amount of time before this band are everywhere and unavoidable. Zambri are that band with their dark-yet-cheery debut album, House Of Baasa . Notable Irish music blogger, Nialler9, pointed out that their song, 'Hundred Hearts', sounds like Berlin's 'Take My Breath Away' and I'm relieved that I wasn't the only one reminded of the glorious power ballads of the 80s. Traces of Roxette, Kate Bush, Tears For Fears and Simple Minds trickle throughout this album ...The 40516 April 2012

A 12" STOLEN FROM ME OR MISLAID YEARS AGO ..Back in 1982, I fell for the charms of Modern English . By this time they were on 4AD Records having got there via a series of critically acclaimed material released on their own Limp Label between 1979 and 1981. After The Snow was the name of the 1982 LP. It was one that divided the critics who thought it far too derivative of the keyboard-pop that was just beginning to dominate the UK charts. Personally, I thought there were more than a few hints of Magazine and early Simple Minds (and dare I whisper it J oy Division ) about some ...THE VINYL VILLAIN3 April 2012
