Poco a poco el cartel del dcode Festival 2012 se va perfilando, y un año más vuelve a tener pinta de que sorprenderá por la cantidad de grandes grupos internacionales que reunirá. Hace poco os contábamos que Sigur Rós era su primer cabeza de cartel, y desde tentonces se han anunciado algunos grupos que no hacen más que mejorar la oferta, como The Killers, Justice o los británicos The Kooks. Todos ellos estarán en un festival que se encuentra en plena promoción, y no es difícil que durante los próximos...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Neon Indian, The Kooks Song: Tango in the Attic - Easybones (Inspired Flight Remix) [download here ] What's so good? Jordan Craig, Jonathan McFarlane, James Crook and Paul Johnson, all from Glenrothes, formed Tango in the Attic in 2008. Two years later they released their debut album  Bank Place Locomotive Society  which BBC 1 lauded as their Record of the Month. Since then the band has ventured around on their own agendas, releasing a bit of music here and there but nothing as substantial as that debut album, at least until recently. They have ...

After a week in New Orleans and an expedition to Brighton for The Great Escape, my musical May adventures have come to an end in the UK city of Liverpool (no stranger to musical celebration with streets of Beatles related memorabilia) for the annual industry conference and festival, Liverpool Sound City. Like The Great Escape the weekend before, Liverpool Sound City takes over its city for three days and nights, with a mix of brand new, up-and-coming and established artists gracing its stages. Let's waste no time and start looking back at these artists... My Sound City kicked off ...

It really has been awhile since I've gotten some good stuff to post on the site via email. I mean there have been some, but not as much as I'd like. But the email gods must have been listening to my pleas, some music came my way that made me excited. One of these was indie/rock band Balloons and their first single "Boundaries." The song was produced and recorded by João Brandão at Estúdios Sá da Bandeira and mastered by Robin Schmidt ( The Black Keys, The Kooks, The Rapture, Two Door Cinema Club ) in Karlsruhe, Germany. With ...

Many of you probably remember our awesome session with The Kooks at Industria Superstudio, which hit the site a couple of weeks ago. You also probably remember when we captured Foster The People at Music Hall of Williamsburg, right before the summer got seriously pumped up. Did you know the both of them will be playing together in Central Park at the end of May? We did, and we want to make sure you have a chance to experience these two favorite acts of ours rocking on one bill. So starting toda

The Kooks are following up their touring earlier this year with more North American dates in May and June, which includes a stop at Bonnaroo 2012 . The group will support Foster The People and the trek kicks off on May 26th in Boston. Junk of the Heart was release in 2011. [ thekooks.com ]

The Heartbreaks Funtimes Nusic Sounds [2012]  Fire Note Says: The Heartbreaks have made guitar driven Brit-pop fun again! Album Review: Being able to use the word blokes and guitars in the same sentence is reason enough to cover The Heartbreaks new debut record Funtimes . The album comes straight to us from Morecambe, England and it gives this recently tired genre a shot in the arm as the songs here are sharp, bright, soaring, catchy and totally English. This might sound somewhat drab to some if you have never been into the Brit-pop-rock thing but Funtimes is one of those records ...

The Kooks will be returning to North American this summer for a string of live tour dates

Hailing from Essex, England, Morning Parade is proud to announce the release of their long-anticipated debut full-length on June 19th as well as live tour dates in June as special guests of Ohio natives, Walk The Moon (full listing below). The band is already causing waves of anticipation with the release of their debut single, "Headlights" which is gaining swift momentum at alternative radio across the U.S., in addition to six spectacular shows at SXSW, live dates as special guests of The Kooks in March and recently premiering their video on RollingStone.com.

Gerade erst haben die New Yorker Jungspunde Oberhofer ihr Album " Time Capsules II " fertiggestellt, da warten sie schon mit der nächsten schlagzeilentauglichen Produktion auf und covern Kanye Wests "Runaway", von dessen 2010er Erfolgsalbum " My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy ". Der ohnehin schon poppig angehauchte R&B-Sound; des Quartetts findet hier seine Erfüllung. Wenngleich es die Band nicht ganz auf die melancholische Stimmung anlegt, die der Rapper im Original verkörpert — vielmehr lehren sie im Cover das Piano die aufbegehrende Dringlichkeit des Shoegaze und offenbaren eine ganz neue Seite der Komposition. Aber überzeugt euch selbst, die Single steht im Folgenden als kostenloser Download zur ...

The Kooks will be returning to North American this summer for a string of live tour dates

Próxima sexta-feira o The Kooks faz a primeira apresentação em solo brasileiro desde 2009, próxima quinta-feira no RJ e sexta-feira em SP, onde milhares de corações predominantemente teenagers, aguardam ansiosamente para reencontrar os seus ídolos de Brighton. A turnê pertence ao disco Junk of the Heart, lançado em setembro do ano passado e terceiro de estúdio [...]

This one started popping up last week, but most versions initially had pretty shitty sound and picture quality to them. Today though we have an official release of Foster The People and Luke Pritchard of The Kooks teaming up in London during a live show and doing a pretty remarkable cover of Alabama Shakes chill blues tune "Hold On". Great performance that doesn't stray too far from the original, but adds a little flare which a lot of people are describing as Foster The Kooks. Check it out below. iTunes Torches - Foster the People Tickets + Tour Dates
