Jail Weddings' Four Future Standards' new EP ..If they aren’t L.A.’s biggest band, *Jail Weddings *definitely have L.A.’s biggest sound—an nine-person-deep rock ‘n’ soul revue that feels like the Pogues as produced by Phil Spector, a soundtrack to a Hollywood-gone-Babylon left unloved and unexplored since the last notes of *X*’ Los Angeles...Alt Sounds25 May 2012

Michael Eavis Supports Strummer Of LoveGlastonbury founder Michael Eavis has voiced his support for upcoming new festival Strummer of Love , which supports music charity Strummerville. Eavis states: "I got to know Joe in the last years of his life, and his support in our unpopular campaign to control the numbers here in 2002 was invaluable to me. It's good to know that the spirit of Strummerville will still be alive in our part of the world, especially in our year off." Michael Eavis has incorporated parts of Strummerville into Glastonbury for years, one being the campfire, and these ideals will also be incorporated into ...Clash Music23 May 2012

The Buddies Release Video for "All the Beer ..Last year, the video's co-director Ryan Henriquez was directing a web series on the making of Deer Tick's last album Divine Providence in Providence, RI. Ryan spent several days with the band and the album's two producers, Adam Landry and Justin Collins, both of whom were interviewed for the series. During a break from recording, Justin Collins played Ryan the demo for "All The Beer Is Gone" by The Buddies, a band in which Justin sings and plays guitar, comprised of members from Chicago and Justin's hometown of Nashville. Ryan's mind was instantly blown by ...BrooklynRocks: NYC Music Blog15 May 2012

The Camden Crawl 2012 - Review (Sunday)Throwing the migratory concept of the multi-venue multi-gig idea out of the window, due to a weird combination of the organisers timetable programming and our own summer festival schedule which gives opportunities to see certain artists at numerous events and therefore not necessarily this weekend in London, our whole second day of the Camden Crawl is spent in the bunting dressed Wheelbarrow pub. Camden Crawl ? More like Camden Stationary. As the music and alcohol flows a constant stream of bladder-stressed punters are found pushing their way towards the front, for the location of the toilets is like a space planners ...Breaking More Waves8 May 2012

Album Review: Murder By Death - Good Morning ..Good Morning, Magpie is the fifth and latest record from America’s Murder By Death . Admittedly the record was initially released back in 2010 so I’m coming to it a little late in the day, and with only a passing knowledge of the band. They were due to tour the country later this month, but unfortunately that has been cancelled. And it really is a shame, because from listening to this record, I am convinced they would have put on one helluva live performance. It’s a bit of an interesting record, deceptively upbeat and gloriously macabre and melancholic ...The AU Review7 May 2012

Event: The Pogues, The Barons of Tang @ Hord ..The Pogues gave a performance that emphasized their roots, a love of their fans, and the underlying punk-energy that still drives the band, even in their older age. Playing two encores, and giving the crowd a set of over two hours.Faster Louder16 April 2012

Spider Stacy from The PoguesAn unmistakable sound of Irish punk heard in London in the late 1980s. Shane MacGowan's signature voice led this band of unlikely Anglo-Irish musicians whose great hits included 'Fairytale of London' and Ewan MacColl's song 'Dirty Old Town'.ABC Radio National - The Music Show14 April 2012

The Pogues - Sally MacLennaneMy home town had a Guinness bottling plant. The ships would arrive from Dublin and moor on a small spit of land between the Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal. There was no security whatsoever, and many a teen would develop a taste for the stuff supped straight from the outlet pipes. Next to Guinness, The Pogues were the most Irish thing we knew, which is funny because none of them were actually Irish. It's true: of the six founder members, 5 were born in Britain and one in Nigeria. (Incidentally, in the league table of Guinness drinking nations ...Doklands14 April 2012

Live Review: Byron Bay Bluesfest Day Four ft ..Our Day 4 began with Mama Kin , whose set mixed sassy keyboard progressions with big soul vocals and the odd ballad thrown in. Her inter-song stand-up routine engaged her very relaxed audience, as did an awkward-looking but gutsy-sounding drum solo. In an unexpected change of pace, Yann Tiersen et al gave the crowd a progressive/shoegaze escape. Although the occasional vocals were muffled in the mix, there was an undeniable cinema about it all (fitting for the artist that did the Amelie soundtrack amongst others), and Tiersen's violin virtuosity was raw, inventive and stirring. The next stop was Busby ...The AU Review10 April 2012

Skinny Lister - New WavesHas folk music become the equivalent of what glamping is to camping? Is it now all designer beards, clean acoustic strums, neat waistcoats and frankly just a little bit too comfortable? Have the likes of Bon Iver, Foxes">Fleet Foxes and Mumford & Sons stolen away the dirty earthiness that this genre of music once possessed? Well if it has then Skinny Lister , a band who have borrowed their name from the Lister family, pioneers in the use of the anaesthetic, are the band to rum-slam and high-kick it back into place. This is a band to stomp your feet, get ...Breaking More Waves31 March 2012
