Their debut Strange House was their effort at modern garage rock while Primary Colours gave them the "hip" status and recognition with the taste makers, as well as earning them a Barclaycard Mercury Music Prize nomination.

Last month Laura Marling released a version of The Needle And The Damage Done and it's superb.The track was produced by Jack White who seems to have a great knack for producing quality country The Noises In Our Headshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969191542733250511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445093065987263488.post-20062634140243121942010-12-07T14:09:00.000+00:002010-12-07T14:09:34.218+00:00Video: Gorillaz Feat.

Being a Sunday and a busy gig weekend about town, I almost expected a subdued crowd in Tripod, but wonderfully that was not the case as James Murphy and his band of merry men and woman, slammed out two fantastic hours of non stop party filled tunes.

A real treat for dance fans this year. Take 'Em Up featuring Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem fame on vocals in particular, is an electro disco anthem in it's itself with it's breezy vocal and synth-tastic rhythms.

The song and album itself sees a departure of the tropical punk stylings of 2008's release Skeleton, inviting in a more danceable sound. Crush can take the nu wave route at times and Throwing Shade is a fine example of that, but the album as a whole is The Noises In Our Headshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969191542733250511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445093065987263488.post-7701190941100606982010-09-20T14:40:00.001+01:002010-09-20T21:49:25.589+01:00Video: Ok Go - White KnucklesOK Go are definitely renowned for their pretty stunning video's and their video to the seriously funky White Knuckles is no exception.

Clare Maguire is probably going to be championed as 2011's Florence, Adele or Ellie Goulding as it seems someone needs to fit into these hype machine shoes each year. Vocally though Clare has an old school bluesy folk style, similarly sounding to Sandy Denny or Maddy Prior. Her music however, is not of that ilk and Ms Maguire is more pop than 70's blues folk.
