THE THIEFS ARE RIGHT up for TOP BANTER the BANTER THIEFS and Coming Scottish Acts 42 ............... Sunday, April 23, 2017 1SM MUSIC ONE2WATCH by CHRIS SWEENEY BROTHERS Ewan and Cal- lum Merrett admit they agree on very little in their musical tastes — but it seems to be work- ing for Bad Sounds. One likes pop and the other is into hip-hop — and both want more of their favourite influences on the band’s sound. Ewan, 25, admitted: “I’m always trying to push the hip-hop side of things, and Callum is always try- ing to push the pop stuff. “Growing up, Callum got into pop music and I got really into hip-hop so we come at it from very different angles.” The Chippenham lads also admit they only formed a band together because they couldn’t find anyone else to team up with. Ewan said: “Cal couldn’t get a band together, and I couldn’t find an MC as I was producing tracks — so we came together and com- prised. “It’s a small town we’re from ONE2HEAR and Bath is the closest city, but there’s not really a music scene ckers From Sor- there either.

    RECENSIONES. STARMARKET, TEENAGE FANCLUB, HELLSONGS Y SANTI CAMPOS. © Amador Pérez de Algaba de la Torre. Analista Musical Independiente de Sevilla. España. [email protected] PÉREZ DE ALGABA DE LA TORRE, Amador. (2014). “Recensiones. Starmarket, Teenage Fanclub, Hellsongs y Santi Campos”. Montilla (Córdoba): Revista-fanzine Procedimentum nº 3. Páginas 169-176. 1. Starmarket y su disco “Four Hours Light” (Bcore, 2011). Normalmente las reediciones de discos buscan un interés más comercial que artístico. Intenta hacer beneficios a base de sacar brillo a viejas grabaciones que apelan a la nostalgia del oyente, influenciado por algún acontecimiento que hace que el nombre, del artista en cuestión, vuelva a sonar. Nada más lejos de esto ha sido la intención del sello Bcore, quien acaba de reeditar el fabuloso álbum “Four Hours Light” de la banda sueca Starmarker. Con el arrojo y buen gusto de siempre, el sello barcelonés reedita esta completísima obra que vio la luz por primera vez de la mano de sello norteamericano Deep Elm, en 2000. Disco completo tanto por el contenido como por el formato. Con el soporte de un lp de vinilo blanco de doce pulgadas que incluye bono con código para descarga digital, Bcore nos regala uno de esos grandes discos que nunca pasan de moda y que, gracias a su reedición, hace que muchos amantes de la música popular podamos conocer estas doce canciones llenas de fuerza y ternura a las que se etiqueta como emo. Y es que es emoción lo que produce la escucha de canciones plenas que enganchan desde el primer instante. Herencia del mejor rock and roll que recoge esta banda de Estocolmo en la que todo encaja y cada cual cumple su cometido a la perfección, lo que no es extraño si tenemos en cuenta que los países nórdicos son uno de los mejores escenarios musicales de todos los tiempos, que ya desde la tradición jazz se ganaron un puesto principal en la escena mundial.

    :: View email as a web page :: The spring of 1995 was a crowded season in indie-rock history. Pavement dropped their polarizing third album, the willfully messy and frequently brilliant Wowee Zowee. Yo La Tengo continued their hit streak of low-key masterworks with Eletr-O-Pura. Illinois fuzz-rock quartet Hum hit hard with Youʼd Prefer An Astronaut, and Teenage Fanclub produced one of their finest jangle-pop efforts, Grand Prix. Wilco, Elastica, and Apples In Stereo put out well-regarded debuts. And Red House Painters hit a new high-water mark with Ocean Beach. But even in an era when classic indie records seemed to come out every week, there was nothing quite like Alien Lanes, the eighth full-length LP by a band from Dayton, Ohio called Guided By Voices. Released on April 4, 1995, Alien Lanes arrived with baked-in mythology. It had been supposedly recorded for just $10 in various concrete basements around Dayton by a group of blue-collar guys in their mid-30s. Uproxx dug into the history of this classic and produced this great oral history. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century OPENING TRACKS RINA SAWAYAMA This budding indie-pop star is among the buzziest acts to emerge this year, with an ear-catching single called “STFU” that’s like Carly Rae Jepsen if she spent years obsessing over Korn’s Follow The Leader. That pan-genre approach ultimately informs Sawayama — who was born in Japan and raised in London — and her aesthetic.

  • Snow Patrol Biography
    SNOW PATROL BIOGRAPHY A few reasons why Snow Patrol are one of the biggest and boldest bands of the past decade: over 15 years, the part Irish, part Scottish five piece have transformed from cultish indie wannabes into a stadium-packing tour de force. They have shifted over ten million albums worldwide and been nominated for Grammys and Brits; scooped Meteors and Ivor Novello Album Awards. At the heart of the band is Gary Lightbody, Snow Patrol‟s frontman and songwriter-in-chief. Over five studio albums, the 33 year-old has sketched heart-bruised laments and arm-around-your-best-mate festival anthems; radio hits and moments of painful introspection. All of these have been gathered together for Up To Now - a double album of 30 singles, cover versions and album tracks. “It‟s a bit like photo album,” says Lightbody. “It‟s a documentation of how the band got to where it is now. We‟ve been working hard for 15 years – it wasn‟t something that happened overnight. We wanted to give people as honest an account of us as a band over the last five albums, warts and all. Yeah, we‟re being selectively honest and we might be covering over some of the cracks, but this collection really feels like an honest portrait of us as a band. “At first we got it down to 40 songs but knew it had to be leaner than that and had a little trouble cutting some things we really liked out. But we got it down to 30 in the end.

  • “This Is the Best Thing I've EVER Heard!”
    “This is the best thing I’ve EVER heard!” Jim Reid, The Jesus & Mary Chain The Mello Festival, Worcester, 2019 Independent Country 6 cowboys from Birmingham (UK) who take Indie classics on a rollickin’ ride to Nashville and back. Floppy fringes and baggy jeans are swapped for pedal steel guitars and four-part harmonies as the NME meets The Grand Ole Opry. In the hands of Independent Country, the Happy Mondays’ freaky dancing hit “Wrote for Luck” becomes a barn-burnin’ foot stomper; Electronic’s “Getting Away With It” transforms into a tear-jerking country waltz, and Oasis’ classic “Rock ’n’ Roll Star” morphs into the greatest Glen Campbell smash hit that Capitol Records never released. The list goes on: New Order, Blur, Stone Roses, Teenage Fanclub, Pulp, Nirvana, Pixies - all get similarly taken apart and put back together again with undoubted musical chops, songwriting craft and creative flair. You ain’t heard nothing like this! Saddle up your ponies and say hello to the best gang in town... Pirate Studios, Birmingham, 2017 Rock and Roll Brewhouse, Birmingham, 2020 Attic Brewery, Birmingham, July 2019 Recordings The band’s debut LP, "TrailerParkLife", was released in December 2016 and featured southern-fried versions of songs by Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, New Order, Teenage Fanclub, and more. They followed this in summer 2018 with a 2nd album, "The True Adventures of Independent Country", taking on tunes by the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, The Smiths and Spiritualized. After releasing the “Brassneck EP” in 2019, featuring songs by The Wedding Present, The Cure and Suede, the band then hunkered down to begin work on their third LP.

  • Like a Precious Family Secret
    :: View email as a web page :: Released in 2005, Superwolf by Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Matt Sweeney for years didn’t seem to exist outside of a few small enclaves reserved for hard-core enthusiasts. A profoundly beautiful folk-rock record populated by unreliable narrators, Superwolf at the time was supported by only a small handful of shows and a minimal press campaign. After that, it fell into a digital black hole for more than a decade, having been deliberately held back from streaming platforms until 2018. And yet people kept on discovering Superwolf. It helped that the album had some famous fans. (Rick Rubin loved it so much that he started using Sweeney — an indie-rock veteran who played in Chavez in the 1990s and Zwan in the early aughts — as one of his regular studio musicians.) But it’s the uniquely indelible songs Sweeney wrote with Will Oldham (who has used the Bonnie “Prince” Billy name for much of his work since 1998) that has kept Superwolf alive over the years. If you knew the record, you likely heard about it from a friend, who shared it like a precious family secret. Now Oldham and Sweeney are back with a new album. Read about how it came together here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century In case you missed it...

  • Teenage Fanclub Holder Vinteren I Skak, Når De Deler Ud Af Deres Varme 90'Er Rock I Lille VEGA
    Teenage Fanclub 2016-10-11 10:00 CEST Teenage Fanclub holder vinteren i skak, når de deler ud af deres varme 90'er rock i Lille VEGA. VEGA og Live Nation præsenterer: Teenage Fanclub holder vinteren i skak, når de deler ud af deres varme 90'er rock i Lille VEGA. Når Teenage Fanclub gæster Lille VEGA fredag den 10. februar 2017, har de deres helt nye album, Here, med. Udgivelsen er den ellevte i rækken fra det anerkendte skotske band, der besøger Danmark for første gang siden 2010. Teenage Fanclub udsprang af den alternative rock scene i Glasgow 1989 og lagde fra kaj med et støjende lydbillede. På de første to albums fra henholdsvis 1990 og 91, var lyden rå og udvisket i en nærved kaotisk sammensmeltning af riffs. På deres tredje album, Bandwagonesque, der også udkom i 1991, viste bandet dog en ny side der fremover skulle komme til at blive deres kendetegn. Albummet blev en stor kommerciel succes og de klare referencer til den klassiske West Coast-pop gav associationer til bands som Beach Boys. Musikken og harmonien intakt i næsten 30 år Den lette og mere harmoniske lyd der siden Bandwagonesque har domineret Teenage Fanclubs musik, er også at finde på den nye plade Here, der udkom 9. september. Der er en varme og sikkerhed at spore på hver af albummets 12 skæringer, hvilket utvivlsomt kan tilskrives bandets lange samarbejde, strækker sig over næsten tre årtier. Selvom Here er Teenage Fanclubs ellevte studiealbum, er der ikke meget tvivl at spore hos anmelderne; bandet leverer stadig alternativ rock af bedste skuffe.
