Exit Calm, debut album of the century so far

These are tough times. The Zero decade hasn't been able to bring anything new on the scene, a terrible contrast when you think what each of the previous decades has sparked since the birth of rock'n'roll.
Not everything's lost. Bands like Mew have emerged, they still believe music doesn't need to be safe and can be brave end emotional. In the electronic field, the Fidget house explosion of the last couple of years brought us artists like AC Slater, Costello and Udachi, which I still regard as the biggest genius of this century so far.
The first truly great debut album in guitar music comes from Barnsley, halfway between Leeds and Sheffield.
Lyca Sleep were a band with a fantastic guitarist called Rob Marshall.

Scarica gratis il video di Stanze Live 2010 dei Massimo Volume!

Era inevitabile che un evento storico come il concerto del 27 marzo al Covo di Bologna, nel corso del quale i Massimo Volume hanno eseguito integralmente Stanze dal vivo, venisse registrato da un fan.
Fortunatamente Marco Leone ha registrato sia audio che video, Enrico Galli ha sincronizzato l'audio col video e il risultato è piaciuto tanto ai Massimo Volume che ne autorizzano la condivisione.

Freebass supergroup releases EP, Two Worlds Collide

In took some five years, but Freebass, the Mancunian bass supergroup comprising of three of music’s most notable strummers, Peter Hook (Joy Division), Gary “Mani” Mounfield (The Stone Roses/Primal Fear), and Andy Rourke (The Smiths), finally has a record to its name. In fact, this time next month, they’ll have two.
This week, Freebass released its debut EP, Two Worlds Collide. Coming some five years after its initial formation, the four-song effort hears the all-star bassists teamed up with the likes of The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess, The Mighty Wah’s Pete Wylie, and Howard Marks, all of three of who lent their vocals. The band had planned for even higher levels of supporting star power, such as Liam Gallagher and Billy Corgan, but scheduling conflicts prevented them from making an appearance. After all, they only had five years to make it work!
