  • Interview – Murder By Death

    Murder by Death are a terrific band from Indiana, USA, who specialise in a species of alt-country with some cinematic undertones. All their albums are dense, dripping with atmosphere and most them have an unifying narrative (The Devil in Mexico, Weird Western, etc). We got out resident freak/spammer Sam to send them an email filled…

  • Exclusive – Ensemble’s ‘Excerpts’ video!

    The very lovely people at FatCat Records gave us the exclusive for Ensemble‘s brand new video, ‘Excerpts’, from this band’s equally amazing album (cheap plug – our review). Check it out! Man, I want to travel on a train right now! Links for Ensemble Website. Facebook. Myspace. Spotify. Website (old version). Special thanks to Ash…

  • Interview – The Monicans

    The Monicans is one of those bands I’ve heard a lot about from other bands in Sheffield, sort of a band’s band. Their psychedelic, seedy music is pretty rocking and talking with them was quite fun. Check out this rather strange conversation, with a rather weird joke which went nowhere (my fault, really).

  • Third time’s a charm

    Chikita Violenta – Tre3s. The Skinny : Mexican curious (no me vas a decir). The Review Proper: Chikita Violenta, a Mexican band band that chose to sing in English and do some breezy Indie, offers a new album, called Tre3s.

  • The metamorphosis of a band

    Wheatus – Pop, songs & death: Vol. 2 – The Jupiter EP The Skinny: Progeatus! The Review proper: “In the words of the Virgin Mary: Come again?”

  • Classical – In all senses

    Ensemble – Excerpts The Skinny: The thin line between French Pop and Classical Music. The Review proper: Awesome bilingual music.

  • “This is a stick up, smash the windows”

    Review: Deerhoof – ‘Deerhoof vs. Evil’ It’s late, I’m tired and overworked and all I want to do it sit in bed with my PJ’s on, my headphones in me ears and listen to the latest Deerhoof record…hang on, Deerhoof at this hour!? Won’t the manic and chaotic beats send me into a pre-sleep frenzy?…

  • Interview – Fuzzy Lights

    It’s no secret that we love Manchester’s own Little Red Rabbit Records here at the office (aka, Quinto’s shed, which, strangely enough, is also James May’s). Anyways, we loved Twin Feathers (shameless plug for review) and we got our own PM to drop them a few questions…  

  • Wake up song for today -153

    I came across this little gem because it’s on the soundtrack to the indie flick Bronson (2008), which charts the tumultuous life events of Charles Bronson, Britain’s ‘Most Violent Criminal’. Not only is the film worth seeing (Tom Hardy’s performance is astounding) but the soundtrack rocks.  Glass Candy are a Portland based electro duo and…
