As the sun sets on the third and final day of Brighton’s Great Escape Festival we offer up 10 more thoughts on the 2012 event and some of the bands that played. More musings both here and here from the previous days. 1. Established artists sometimes steal the show at 'new' music festivals Admiral Fallow is hardly a new band, just about to release their second album, but their Great Escape gig was everything you could ask for from a live music performance. Beautifully played, evocative and capable of bringing a tear to the eye. 2. Venues with low ...

This is our third preview post on Brighton’s Great Escape 2012 which takes place between 10th-12th May. Today we turn our attention towards Saturday’s activities and three further recommendations for bands to see. With the likes of We Are Scientists, Africa Express Sound System and Madeon occupying some of the bigger venues, there’s also plenty of interest at the smaller shows, particularly during the day.  Of particular note is the recent addition of ex X-Factor star Aiden Grimshaw  on Saturday. It will be interesting to see what the turnout for this gig is, with day tickets for ...

We know you reader, you aren't fascinated by the big names. Stevie Wonder? Old News. Elbow? Nah. Foo Fighters? They must be joking. So you'll be delighted to hear that Y-Not Festival , the winner of 2011's Best Toilets at the Festival Awards, has announced that the View will headline the festival next to The Wombats and We Are Scientists. Also on the lineup are “music-to-skip-along-to” Summer Camp and masters of cringe-pop The Pigeon Detectives. The Derbyshire Festival has tickets still onsale at less than £80. Y Not head down? Sorry, We've been sitting on terrible puns ...

After Hours - The 88 I found this song while wanting to listen to another by the same name (the We Are Scientists one, check it out if you don’t know it here ) But it’s great in it’s own right, and so is this band!

Grandiose orchestral clout mixed with a neat pop nous and a voice pitched somewhere between We Are Scientists and Mull historical Society, the music of Brad Oberhofer is pretty much adorable. Drums clatter and stutter in frenetic fashion beneath chiming xylophone, indie harmonies and riff-heavy guitar for much of ‘Time Capsules II’, and its relentless energy is utterly addictive. It perhaps never quite manages to live up to the genuinely breathtaking magnificence of opening track ‘Heart’, with its spectral wall of sound production effects, but those are high standards indeed. The shamelessly repetitive ‘I Could Go’ comes close, mind, with ...
