Homoerotic two piece Spring Break (Ryan McPhun from The Ruby Suns and James Dansey from The Sneaks) have been wearing short shorts and writing eighties throwback tunes for a while now, and they've just released a video for their track 'No Tengo Dinero'. Directed by Simon Ward it's a typically...

The Ruby Suns “Kenya Dig It” Names are quite important, which is pretty silly considering that no one actually gets to pick the name their born with. Sure, through the power of legal action we have the ability to change our names, but that often ends in disaster  (particularly for sports athletes such as Mettta World Peace ). So often we’re stuck with whatever our parents gave us, and if your name is say, Dick, then you’re going to be a Dick forever (for better or worse). The reason I bring all of this up should be obvious. “Kenya ...

Cloud Control Bliss Release [Infectious; 2011] by Art Ivan Rating: Upon only minimal initial exposure to their music, even the average listener couldn’t be blamed for having the temptation to dismiss Aussie indie rock upstarts Cloud Control for just being one of the more recent in a long, long — long — line of Anglo rock bands that just happens to have an uncanny talent for impossibly irresistible pop melodies. They’ve already caused quite a commotion in the Anglosphere and beyond, but if Cloud Control ultimately do become one of those countless one-hit wonder bands that pop in and out ...

It's a difficult time for independent music. What with the rise of illegal downloading, the problems facing the British high street and, y'know, rioters burning entire back catalogues simply getting by is mighty difficult. Which is why it's heartening to witness the progress of Memphis Industries . Founded by brothers Ollie and Matt Jacob, the Brighton based imprint has built up an eclectic roster which emphasises talent over hype. Recently reaching the ripe old age of 13, Memphis Industries decided to host a one off show in London named Lucky Thirteen. Taking place on November 30th, the line ...
