Music Emissions

A fun game that will keep all of the family entertained whilst listening to this quaint, quirky and a little out there soundtrack can be had by trying to figure out which of the screams, yelps and incoherent murmurs belong to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (YYYs) leading lady, Karen O and which belong to the...

When it comes to making his guitar sing Built To Spill's Doug Martsch may be second only to J. Mascis in the indie world...

September 29th saw the release of I and Love and You, the new studio album from indie roots band the Avett Brothers...

I guess I'm just going to have to face it, gone are the days when you could rely on the Flaming Lips to provide you with quirky, humorous pop songs...

With all of the hoopla over the now confirmed 2010 Pavement reunion shows, the release of Spiral Stairs' debut solo album has been quite overshadowed...

King Charles released their first single in May, to only a little press attention but a lot of mine. They have an incredibly unique sound - distortion, synth, blunt South London accents, folk elements and heavy guitars...
