SOJA // Live // August 4th, 2011 // Pow Wow – Live Oak, FL, USA

Even though SOJA, which stands for Soldiers of Jah Army, was originally formed in what many consider a modern Babylon, they have captured the purest essence of reggae, and that is unity.

General Fiasco’s tour of the UK in October is closely followed by the release of EP ‘waves’ on October 30th. Having just got back from Reading and Leeds Festival after achieving ‘Hottest Record In The World’ on BBC Radio 1 we were eager to see how they’re finding the rapid increase in fame.

Transfer // Losing Composure // Out Now // Cool Green Recordings

Tipped as a band to look out for in 2011, Transfer are becoming something you should know about. Having played with Brandon Flowers earlier this year, and about to embark on a European tour with Kaiser Chiefs, this band are not doing too badly – and this song really shows it.

Just One Week Until Shambala…

In a week’s time the delectable, delightful Shambala will be opening its gates to admit 2000 of the merriest, most multi-coloured festivalgoers for four days of stomp, shininess and silliness, and it’s not too late for you to grab a ticket!

Tramlines Festival // 22nd – 24th July 2011 // Sheffield

Tramlines is a brilliant example of what an inner city festival can be. There are other events like it (Manchester’s In The City and Liverpool Sound City) but they fail where Tramlines succeeds in two ways: 1) Tramlines is free (yes, totally free) and 2) it offers much more than “open up most venues in [...]

Latitude Festival // Day Minus One

Day minus one. Yes, not quite your normal way to describe a Thursday, but certainly worth a quick blog post. NEN’s Chief is here along with me and we are sorting out a few interviews with some super up-and-coming bands. Thursday night saw us driving for what seemed like 3 weeks up to what in essence [...]
