The shining light in Alexisonfire's demise is the rise in City and Colour. Little Hell is a superb album.

Wade as new Gallows frontman, interesting. Pretty exciting.

Purchased Little Hell this afternoon, will report back.

Awesome, we've done three open mic nights, and now we've got a headline set at a charity gig next Friday...

We only know 4 songs!

Wasn't sure if this warranted it's own thread (it had one last year) but any RLfans going over to Leeds this year?

Not gonna lie, this Joe Pug Bootleg my mate gave to me is just, wow. Proof white guys can have some soul.

And his cover of "Start Again" by Tex Thomas. F***ing WOW!

I would highly recommend ††† (Crosses) to anybody who's into electronic ambient post-rock stuff. ††† features Chino Moreno from Deftones & Far Guitarist Shaun Lopez. So far it's flawless. Very much in the same vein of Team Sleep if anybody has come across them. 'Option' is a breathtaking track.

Today I have mainly been listening to the new Chickenfoot album, oh my, not been this excited about a new album for quite some time, Homer if you are reading this, buy it!

Like Bon Iver, Band of Horses and that? You like Strand of Oaks. Lovely, lovely stuff.

Cheers for the recommendation. I'm just having a quick listen on Spotify, so far so good.

This week I've raided my friends CD collection. Fantomas, TSOL & Dwarves.

Another one is Chailo Sim. Lovely alt folk stuff. Kind of step more towards pop than Mumford and Sons.

I bought PJ Harvey's new album today Let England Shake.

She is absolutely fantastic,very underrated.

I just bought the new Brontide album. Oh mama is it sexy.

For those who were wondering what Ski, Lawrie and myself were on about when we recommended Rae Morris, here is a link to her Reading set on the BBC website:

<3

Interesting to note she is in the top 5 most shared performances on the site.

Will NEVER forget the moment of my band mates and I looking at each other on New Years day saying "F*** me she's good!"

She's going places, I'm sure.

It'll be a crying shame if she doesn't, particularly given the dross being tramped out across the airwaves.

I've seen you guys sing her praises on here before and given some of her stuff a couple of listens, but I think I'm on the bandwagon now



She played in Manchester a few months back and I did consider going along but unfortunately had other plans in the end.

Hopefully she catches a break

I've never been a fan of Gallows but today I was sent a link to their new track 'True Colours'. It sounds as if Wade from Alexisonfire is on vocals and it ain't too shabby. The band have uploaded a video for the track to YouTube.

Rae Morris

simply outstanding she is, writes the most stunning and powerful songs

seeing her play at Escobar in Leeds to about 25 people in January she was still spellbinding and talking to her afterwards she was so down to earth it was unreal

Iceage and Eaguls tonight in Leeds.

You're welcome

She's no Rihanna. Talking of whom, have you seen the new video? Beauty.

And Beyonce's. The director of the video is a genius. "Just get me Beyonce, a black wall and loads of butter". He must have so much fun, lucky guy.

cheers for the tip



Yes that's right, she's no Rihanna



and thank god too
