When I heard wind that Lotte Mullan was getting set to release her first album, to say I was excited would be an understatement. Mulling around the acoustic scene in London for the past 5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of listening to Lotte live a number of times, witnessing the progressive sounds that have [...]

The best bands you’ve not yet heard
Next Stop Atlanta, the perfect definition of pop punk but not quite as we know it. Formed in 2010, the last 2 years have been somewhat of a rollercoaster journey for the female fronted 4 piece band from Preston and it seems that they are without a doubt on their way up the track.
Claiming that they believe in ‘raw and passionate music’ and that they have ‘the drive to match’, it’s clear that members Georgia Peters, Nik Taylor, Blake Sale and Anthony Joy are perfectly matched in their mission to achieve their desires; to take the music industry by storm.
Sharing the stage with the likes of Status Quo and with a debut EP produced by Matt O Grady (You Me At Six, The Blackout) you can start to see just why this country (and in some cases world) wide fan base has fallen straight into Next Stop Atlanta’s grasp. With the exciting and energetic stage presence they behold, it’s hard for them not to put on a show to remember.
Their first video for the single “I’ll catch fire (The gift)” was blessed upon us in november 2010 and since then has topped over 11,000 views on Youtube. Once you’ve watched, there’s no turning back. The guys are soon to treat us to their 3rd music video and the 14th of this month saw the release of their long awaited mini album, “The things you do best”. In the past, they have brought music to our ears, literally, with appearances on various radio channels such as BBC Radio Lancs and with an upcoming tour in its early stages of planning, we are sure to have plenty of exciting stuff like this to look forward too.
So, in my opinion without a shadow of a doubt, Next Stop Atlanta are a band you should be keeping your eyes on, and what’s better is right here you can do that. You lucky NEN readers will be able to keep up with these guys as we post regular monthly updates via Show and Tell on their progression. Now, how about starting off by hopping along to their Facebook page and giving them a listen?! You know you want to.
This engaging new single from Somerset five-piece Rocketeer wins this week’s Least Likely Lyric Award.
But it was the sub headliner Metronomy that really made the night. The set drew pretty heavily from last years album ‘The English Riviera’ but with a few tracks from ‘Nights out’ thrown in for good measure.
The boys back her up with a soft, tinkering melody that bops contently with Reiter’s innovative lyrics. An array of pitched do’s as a chorus add on. Catchy, catchy, catchy.
Sitting here with my headphones on, loosing myself in a world of good music, it makes Monday’s all that bit better!
Sixteen year-old Lauren Aquilina is nothing short of a little miracle in a pass the parcel package we’ve yet to unwrap the last layers of yet. Here at NEN, we’ve gone to extreme lengths to determine who our 10 Ones to Watch for 2012 should be and we don’t think it would be complete without [...]
Complimentary miniature Bounty in one hand and a pint in the other…
“…it’s a spacey journey through a weed filled love coma, perfectly alternating between glitchy drum patterns and smooth crooning.”
“The opening track sounds so clean you would think it had been diagnosed with OCD…”
“Then all of a sudden, after less than three minutes, it’s over. And I want to listen to it again.”
The legend that is Proud Cabaret is back with a superb relaunch planned for tonight. Proud’s historic south gallery will be Proud Cabaret Camden from February 16.
Proud Cabaret Camden joins Proud Cabaret Brighton and Proud Cabaret City as the Proud Groupcontinues to innovate and lead in the Cabaret scene across the UK. The refurbishment will take Proud Cabaret Camden on par with the elegance and superiority of the Proud Cabaret City club offering the same high end style and sophistication that Proud customers have come to expect.
I have a personal appreciation of old school folk music, being a Celt myself it’s in my blood. It’s rare today, with the modern twist required to inspire new generations behind this genre, (I’m not that old, really!) to be able to maintain the purities of what makes folk music so unique, but from a [...]
Now before you jump to any conclusions, Never Enough Notes did not get to cover the Grammy Awards 2012 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles (our invite must have been lost in the post), but it would be best to do a roundup of what happened and who won what on the night. Of [...]
There’s very little that’ll get an electronic music fan’s pulse racing like new material from Burial.
One thing I love seeing in a band is a passion and a deep love for music, this band had it nailed!
The Maccabees 3rd album ‘Given to the Wild’ people might know what you’re on about when you say you want to go to the swimming pool at Latchmere.
