Das Rocken Am Brocken Festival geht in die sechste Runde und dafür wirft es einen weiteren Schwung neuer musikalischer Acts in die Waagschale. Wurden zuvor noch die deutsch-rockenden Madsen und die schottischen Post-Punker We Were Promised Jetpacks  bekannt gegeben ( motor.de berichtete ), folgen nun unter anderem die naturverrückten Bondage Fairies , welche mit ihrem selbstbetitelten Drittwerk bereits so manchem Nintendo-Fan Freudentränen in die Augen trieben. Ebenfalls kommt der grundsympathische, schwedische Siebener  Kakkmaddafakka zur Stippvisite nach Elend bei Sorge im Harz. Hier könnt ihr nochmal ein Auge auf das bisherige Line-Up in der bewährten Plakatform werfen: motor.de präsentiert: Rocken Am Brocken ...

With thunderous live performances matching the power of fellow Scots Mogwai and a pop sensibility comparable to that of Foals or Bloc Party, it was no surprise that *We Were Promised Jetpacks* landed the ‘Best Live Act’ award at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards at the start of March. In April...

On day two of The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, we’re here to see moody Sunderland five piece The Chapman Family. The sun has been out all day but suitably they’re playing a dingy basement at almost one in the morning, a perfect setting for their loud, yet extremely tuneful blend of distorted and feedback soaked noise. As a warm up to The Chapman Family we pop along to see We Were Promised Jetpacks down at Coalition on the seafront. After seeing them silly amounts of times at SXSW back in March, they have been on a two ...

Welcome to May 2012. Welcome to a world where we’ve just lost Maurice Sendak, where Barack Obama has voiced his support for marriage equality and where most magic of all, the Xcerts have just been announced as support for Guns’n’Roses.

The Static Jacks have accomplished a lot in their three years together. The Westfield, New Jersey band started out under the name Waterdown Clockwise before settling on the more appealing Static Jacks. Like so many other groups, they released a debut EP (2009's Laces ) and started out on several tours with other indie rock bands like Futureheads, Young the Giant and We Were Promised Jetpacks. All the hard work of two full years resulted in the debut Static Jacks album titled If You're Young which came out at the end of last summer. If You're Young is ...

The newly formed 4 piece post hardcore act from Glasgow, Crusades, have sent me a link to their new single, Pseudo Andro and I guess they chose the right blog because I have always been a hardcore kid at heart. Perfectly timed face shredding riffage ala early Every Time I Die with shrill vocals, melodic in some parts while till mantaining a heavy constant, Pseudo Andro is a fucking awesome track. No cheesy “brootal” breakdowns, just all out riot. Have a listen: [Crusades - Pseudo Andro] New 4 track ep, Golden Throats, recorded with Brian Rintoul who’ve previously worked with ...
