Do you like covers? Of course you do. If you a music fan, it's enjoyable to hear a band paying tribute to their influences (or even just to songs they're enjoying at that moment), and if you're a band you get to play around with other people's ideas. Even if the cover sucks, it's still fun to see how other people perceive songs. Anyway, the LCBO recognizes this, and that's why they've launched the Whisky Rocks campaign. They had Ian Thornley record a song , and they're asking musicians to submit their own ...

Hailing from Denver and disparate points around the U.K., BLIND ATLAS came together in the bohemian suburbs of south Manchester, united by a shared preoccupation with drinking, failed relationships and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Led by singer/guitarist Ross Thompson, BLIND ATLAS concocts a new take on American alternative country and classic British rock ‘n’ roll, taking inspiration from The Rolling Stones to Townes Van Zandt right through to artists such as Calexico and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy. BLIND ATLAS has notched up headline slots at some of Manchester’s most iconic venues, as well as supporting the likes of ...

So nine months on from their first and five months on from their second , Blind Atlas today release their third single digitally and on CD. And it’s their boldest, most ambitious release yet. I first heard ‘Iron Wall’ live when Blind Atlas supported The Acorn back in May 2010 . It was their final song and was electrifying: a slow almost-dirge-like song that builds in intensity, using repeated phrases (“ come back home / come back home my Iron Wall / heart and soul / please don’t go ”) to become something strange and shamanistic that concludes with raw scraping and bowing of strings ...

Yeah, you know we're already looking forward to the upcoming rom-dramedy "Crazy Stupid Love" and the cast of Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone should tell you all you need to know about the upcoming film, so let's take a peek at the soundtrack shall we? Running twelve tracks, it naturally mixes the buoyant and moody with equal effect. Washington, DC worldbeat makers Thievery Corporation get two tracks on there, including one featuring Talking Heads singer David Byrne. Meanwhile, Goldfrapp--who we were just talking about--delivers "Ooh La La," while the legendary Nina Simone's "Black ...

I’m pretty sure that for most of the time I am not a Crystal Stilts fan. I know this because I’ve a bruised big finger from pressing delete about 22 seconds into each of their songs. Makes it quite the X-Files moment thusly that ‘Sycamore Tree’ has somehow catapulted itself beyond the acorn stage. Perhaps [...]
