Paul Darlington’s bright stars of 2012

Here at Prince Baron records we like bringing you the brightest upcoming artists around, well it’s the new year so that means we have a whole twelve months of new music and great songs to look forward to. So without further ado, I’ve gathered a little list together of which artists are going to be hot property in 2012. King Charles If you’re looking for a new indie hero for 2012 look no further than the English, singer-song writer from West London. Now I’ve really been excited about this artist for a while after hearing the single ‘Bam bam’ back Read More – Watch Music Video

 
2011 End of year list

Well its time for my rather belated end of year list, now id like to say its because ive been too busy working off all that turkey and Christmas cake in the gym however id be lying so without wasting anymore time il crack on. Single of the year – Nicki Minaj – Super bass My single of the year will have to go to super bass by Nicky Minaj, yes Adele had a great year and someone like you was a brilliant single but I believe the true winner this year was Nicky Minaj. Super bass has everything, intoxicating Read More – Watch Music Video

 
Foster the People - Helena Beat

Now i’ll be honest when I came across Foster The People last year I was excited and claimed that they would be the next big thing and after the massive success of “Pumped Up Kids” im more than a little smug. However there’s always the danger when a song does so well that it can overshadow your other work, you don’t want to be the next Chesney Hawkes! Now there’s a song on their debut album Torches which I believe wipes the floor with “Pumped Up Kicks” called “Helena Beat”. Now it was released in America back in may 2011 Read More – Watch Music Video

 
The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

Today I bring you a real hip shaker! A song which will be the first release from the much anticipated new album El Camino by the brilliant Black Keys. Now ive been a fan of these guys since I heard the classy, swing of “Tighten Up” and have been looking forward to el Camino for quite a while, and from the sounds of this taster new track fans need not to be afraid. In fact they should be very excited! ‘Lonely Boy’ the taster track for El Camino brings with it all the swagger and swing as previous tracks but Read More – Watch Music Video

 
Kasabian Live - Liverpool Echo Arena 4/12/2011

This epic night was kicked off by fantastic support by Miles Kane who continues to impress with his solo campaign promoting colour of the trap released earlier in the year. Miles melodic pop driven songs pleased the gathering crowds. Inhaler went down a treat which was probably expected after the singles success, in my opinion its one of this years top single releases with Kane reinventing his sound after the last shadow puppets album success back in April 2008. I have to say my personal favourite he played on the night was telepathy, Kane manages to bring together every essence Read More – Watch Music Video

 
Interview with... Bill Davro

Bill Davro play at the Warrington Music Festival tomorrow, we caught up with them earlier in the year, asked them some questions, which they answered: Q. How would you describe your music? A. Bill Davro is like a fizzy drink. It would be the classic Coke taste blended with Caribbean fruits and a hint of Cream Soda. Q. Who is the bands biggest influence? A. There is no main influence really, it is the mix of all the different things we like and find interesting. It’s very diverse and hard to pin down. Q. If you were to make one ‘Rock Read More – Watch Music Video

 
Crystal Fighters - Champion Sound

Crystal Fighters reviewed by Paul Darlington. Well it’s reached that time of year where we bid farewell to our less than scorching summer and get ready for the dark nights to draw in, wrap up warm and get ready to hear Noddy holder wishing it was Christmas in October.  But alas how better than to warm your cockles on the sizzling hot band; Crystal Fighters. Now Crystal Fighters may have been around since 2007 but in my opinion have not been heard by nearly enough of the masses, probably all listening to Adele still… either way there not your average Read More – Watch Music Video

 
Emeli Sande - Heaven - Music Video

Single of the week reviewed by Paul Darlington. Now have I got a stonker for you! Just when people were about to give up on the charts and who could blame them after ‘Swagger Jagger’, I feel dirty even saying it, boom! My confidence is back that good music can actually be found in the charts. Emeli Sande 23 from Aberdeenshire in Scotland has been floating around for a while making cameo appearances on other artists tracks such as on UK rapper Chipmunk’s debut single “Diamond Rings” as well as featuring on other urban artists work, including Roll Deep and Read More – Watch Music Video
