KelvinsRightGlove Posted 24 February, 2013 Posted 24 February, 2013 I'm going to lose some, maybe all, of you with this one. In the past week I've gotten into these guys in a big way. I don't know how best to describe it, other than they are just bats hit mental, out there and odd. There's no one else even close to them. They are really dark, which I like, and at times quite eerie.
Sheaf Saint Posted 24 February, 2013 Posted 24 February, 2013 Really excited about the new album due on 1st April. Got tickets to see him and his band live in Sheffield on 21st May as well.
Hamilton Saint Posted 26 February, 2013 Posted 26 February, 2013 A new album by Eric Burdon - 'Til Your River Runs Dry. It's a really solid effort. Most of the songs co-written by Eric. Familiar themes, crack band, varied styles - but set in an electric blues-rock format dominated by guitar, piano and hammond organ.
ZepSaint Posted 26 February, 2013 Posted 26 February, 2013 Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes - Live At The Greek Sh1t amateur recording - but hey ho :-)
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 27 February, 2013 Posted 27 February, 2013 Is it really pathetic that I can't use the phrase "in the dark" without then immediately having to hear this: [video=youtube_share;JwOje6nf03A]http://youtu.be/JwOje6nf03A It's lead to a full blown Brucie sesh now. Unlucky office.
dinger Posted 27 February, 2013 Posted 27 February, 2013 I've been listening to Boredoms. Loads and loads of Boredoms. It really is a journey into the heart of madness.

miserableoldgit Posted 27 February, 2013 Posted 27 February, 2013 Dawes - Nothing is Everything If this is "Nothing is Wrong" it is a brilliant album.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 27 February, 2013 Posted 27 February, 2013 Sorry for muggin you off mizzers, I got you confused with sad old git who likes correcting spellin and gramma.
Jonnyboy Posted 27 February, 2013 Posted 27 February, 2013 Believe it or not, my mates brother did the animations in this video. The famous cyriak Harris. Really excited about the new album due on 1st April. Got tickets to see him and his band live in Sheffield on 21st May as well.
SuperMikey Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Anna von Hausswolff - Ceremony She hates the comparison, but the similarities between Ms. Hausswolff and Kate Bush are too many to ignore. Her first album showcased her beautiful voice and her excellent song-writing skills as a more stripped-back effort. Her latest album though is far from stripped back. She recorded it in a vast church, and the acoustics sound great. The album is very organ-y which serves to portray the main theme - grief. http://open.spotify.com/track/3YVIafrUWsnnTbdgE5ArvF It's not driving music, but with some good headphones/speakers, the album speaks volumes.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Oh yeah mosh pit with eric at our age Good pic... I was down the front at Heaton Park, unfortunately it was a bit of a crush, I only managed to get one photo, during the opener, before it became impossible to get to my phone again. Not as good as yours!!
Frank's cousin Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 If this is "Nothing is Wrong" it is a brilliant album. Not sure what went on there but NOthing is Wrong is correct... head up arse moment love it...
Hamilton Saint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Electric - the new CD from Richard Thompson. Another excellent album - even better than his last few! Gonna see him live in two weeks - he's on the same bill with Emmylou Harris. Wow!
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 On a massive Richard Hawley vibe at the moment. Been listening to lots of his stuff, forgot how much I love the album 'Truelove's Gutter'. Really pulls on my heartstrings at times, gorgeous music.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 15 March, 2013 Posted 15 March, 2013 Obsessed at the minute, can't stop listening to the bloke. Too excited for his show in July! 'Til then, I shall be amusing my colleagues bobbing away to this:
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 Any regular visitors to The Arts forum may be aware of me banging on about this band Peace. I have seriously not been as excited by a new band since the days of '05, and trawling through fan pages finding dodgy Arctic Monkeys demo's. Anyways, they seem to be on something of a roll at the minute, and spearheading Birmingham's assault on the music scene. Debut album In Love is up on NME if anyone cares to give it a listen, I will be doing so, on repeat, possibly for ever. http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&title=peace_in_love_album_stream&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
pap Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 If this is "Nothing is Wrong" it is a brilliant album. For the first 20 listens. Then it's sh!te
manji Posted 20 March, 2013 Posted 20 March, 2013 Palma Violets are streaming their album ahead of its release on Monday. Decent new British band, for fans of The Clash, The Libertines http://www.palmaviolets.co.uk/ Saw them supporting Savages at the Joiners mediocre. Savages superb.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 20 March, 2013 Posted 20 March, 2013 Saw them supporting Savages at the Joiners mediocre. Savages superb. Indeed, I saw your comment (& replied) on the gig thread. Thought it was a tadd harsh. I like them. Fair enough tough, would be dull if we all liked the same stuff p.s I do bloody love Savages.

Block 5 Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Been listening to some pretty experimental glitchy stuff from Australia. I've put a mix together for those of you who like that sort of thing. Download it here https://soundcloud.com/hilltop_anarchists/in-search-of-ancient
miserableoldgit Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Kate Bush - Comfortably Numb https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PHMMPNpiM3w
Sheaf Saint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 The new Bonobo album - released yesterday. I was eagerly anticipating this release but having listened to it all the way through twice now, I'm sorry to say it is very disappointing compared to his previous work.

pap Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 I gave short shrift to the Pixies at the time, largely on account of being a metalhead which can be a bit exclusive in the early years. This is a great song, Doolittle a great album - some other stone cold classics on that one too. Think I like "Hey" the best.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 24 March, 2013 Posted 24 March, 2013 glad you took my suggestion on board. great track, absolute living legend.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 26 March, 2013 Posted 26 March, 2013 Yeah but the Violets are just a very average Indie guitar band. Havnt we had enough of them ? Fair enough if that's how you feel about them. I'm a big indie fan, and think they are better than average. For me, someone like The Vaccines are a generic average band, their success I find completely baffling. They offer absolutely nothing different whatsoever. I think Palma's have a slightly different sound to a lot of other bands. I also really like the dual-frontman dynamic, and juxtaposition of a hyper-energetic shouty type, with a more nonchalant 'singer' (i'm not claiming either have the greatest singing voices ever). I also love the energy in their live performances. This is of course just my opinion, it would be dull if we all thought the same about everything.
dinger Posted 26 March, 2013 Posted 26 March, 2013 ...it would be dull if we all thought the same about everything. Surely it would just be easier and it wouldn't occur to anyone that things might be otherwise. I'd be all in favour of that kind of set-up.
