Live Gig Review! 7 Day Weekend @ Osale Rooms 17.02.12

For the first time in Osale Rooms short history there is a phenomenon tonight that has occurred never before – an under-18′s night. Now let’s get things straight, I’m not a fan of under-18′s nights. There’s many reasons for my disdain, but mainly because that the audience for these tween gigs will have an average age of about 15 or 16. Since I am 23, this does not look good for me attending such specialist gigs. Mostly though this usually means that alcohol isn’t readily available. I am not a fan of this rule. So will Osale Rooms, and headliners Read More – Watch Music Video

Lana Del Rey – Born To Die track review

Lana Del Rey – Born To Die track review

Lana Del Rey’s meteoric rise in the 5 short weeks that 2012 has been kind enough to give us so far has been nothing short of phenomenal. She’s already been tipped by many publications as a one to watch for this year, even my fellow colleague here at Prince Baron Paul Darlington has been singing her praises. So I clearly must be missing something, as for the second time Lana Del Rey has released a single which I have just found ridiculously dull. Just like ‘Video Games’ before it, it’s not that the song is bad it’s just so very…nice. Read More – Watch Music Video

Enter Shikari - A Flash Flood of Colour Review

Enter Shikari – A Flash Flood of Colour Review

A Flash Flood of Colour opens with what on the face of it seem like some daft lyrics about a house in a field on a side of a cliff, but as the album progresses you realise that there might be more to this opening gambit than meets the ear.  The album tackles several political issues as well as some references to global warming and stuff like that; it would be easy to dismiss this as some kind of gimmick, but it makes for an album which surprises in both its musical and lyrical content. Some of it is unintentionally Read More – Watch Music Video

Foster the People - Helena Beat

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

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

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

Warrington Winter Music Festival 19/11/11

Warrington Winter Music Festival 19/11/11

Winter has well and truly got its icy grip on us all now in the midst of November. It’s a time when we’re ready to spend more time indoors than stand outside, so then why the hell has Warrington Borough Council decided to book another music festival in these winter times? Because they’re still damn good to watch, that’s why. Twelve bands graced the stage over an eleven hour period. But could they break the ice and draw the crowds out from the warmth of their homes? In a word yes. Throughout the day’s festivities are a variety of acts, Read More – Watch Music Video
