The review of the week will be a weekly look at anything and everything I have stumbled across during the past seven days. This could range from new bands to essential software for music lovers. From funny videos to articles which brought a tear to my eye. It could be anything and everything, but one things for sure, all the links will be worth checking out.
Panic Manual reviewed Kasabian’s new album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum – “Based on some early listens, this album is surprisingly good. I was not the biggest fan of Empire, and had expected Kasabian to go down that same disappointing path that a lot of bands seem to follow these days.”
Songkick gives you the opportunity to back-catalogue all the gigs and concerts you have ever been to, to create what they have dubbed a ‘gigography’.
I like the idea of having an online scrapbook to look back on and see all the shows you have been to.
Songkick can also track artists, venues, festivals, and other fans for upcoming event alerts. Meaning you will never miss a gig in your area again. Plus when you do go you can add all your photos, videos and reviews of the show to their database.
Check out a review of Songkick over at Webware.
Buzzin Music Blog reviewed going to see Manic Street Preachers at Brighton Dome – “If gigs were football matches then the Manic Street Preachers’ show at Brighton Dome was a classic game of two halves. Forty-five minutes of the new album in track order, a swift half-time turnaround, then a second half packed with glossy hits.”
There Goes The Fear sat down with Absent Elk frontman Kjetil Morland – “Before going on stage, do you have any rituals, either individual or as a band?
We usually have a little fight – then after that a ‘buh’. The latter is a ritual where we stand in a circle with our arms around each other trying to say ‘buh’ at the exact same time after a moment of silence. It’s really hard, but the times we get it spot on, we feel like one united unbeatable force ready to blow people away.;)”
MP3 Hugger introduces us to Huts On Stilts – “Who needs a swish haircut or nice trainers when the bottom line is whether the music stacks up. And ‘Stumble’ truly is a lovely pile of a song, the sort of nugget that could fit onto a 10-song mixtape with consummate ease”
We Like It.Indie gave us details on Phenomenal Handclap Band’s NYC shows + pre-release – “The Phenomenal Handclap Band are radically different from anything else Friendly Fire has ever put out: this superbly talented 8-person collective creates barnstorming psychedelic disco soul.”
Check back with Indiescreet for a review of the week with all the best links from around the web every week.
