Mumford & Sons are selling special edition pre release copies of their long awaited debut album at their gigs. The multi instrumental quartet have made a stunning album, single handedly making the banjo and double bass combination sound like the coolest thing around at the moment. I’ve been following this band for six months now [...]

Dubstep Doorly does Temper Trap track
September 20th, 2009 | by Jo | published in Download
I admit I have not been on the ball with these dubstep remixes, unlike Sim, who practically eats sleeps and secretes it. However, when I come across a remix of one of my favourite songs of the moment, I take notice. And when Doorly does it, damn, I prick up my ears. I came across [...]

I’m not really in a good condition to blog right now after last night’s shenanigans, but I am committed enough to know that a new leaked song from Muse’s forthcoming album, The Resistance, is worth putting up while I’m throwing up. It’s quite an unusual song. I’m not too sure about it. It doesn’t seem [...]

Mmmm, it maybe just a radio rip but it’s damn tasty, Zinc’s done it again. Ignore the crap video, it’s got nothing to do with the tune. This track forms part of his new Crack House EP which will be out shortly and I personally can’t wait to get my hands on it. By the [...]
