Over the years, bassist/backing vocalist Graham Swan, guitarist David McDonald and drummer Andrew Cowie have came together to form a strong line-up with great chemistry...

Local Glasgow Band reviews...
Let the Music Do the Talking have had the fantastic opportunity to work in Glasgow’s Apollo 23 thanks to Jay B Promotions!
Sixteen Fingers.
Sixteen Fingers are a band from West Lothian consisting of two sets of brothers and sisters. They described their combined tastes as ‘eclectic’ which made me initially quite excited; I thought they’d have some interesting variety and...

Ginger - Dog and Partridge, Bolton 18.08.2011
So earlier this year we were in York to catch a show on the first half of Gingers acoustic tour, promising he would be back for another round of acoustic gigs later on in the year, he kept his word and once again we went along for more acoustic madness.
This time the setting was the Dog and Partridge in Bolton, a small pub with a lot of character, but there was no way you were getting 150 people...

Theory Of A Deadman - The Truth Is...
Two years after their last release, Theory Of A Deadman have returned with The Truth is… With a massive 18 tracks (2 bonus acoustics), you would certainly hope it would fill that gap successfully.
The album begins with Lowlife. The track has the potential to be great, I just can’t help but feel the execution could have been a little better. It seems to lack a little in character and the passion...

Motley Crue to head to the UK?
After many rumours and promises of UK dates, Nikki Sixx took to twitter to reply to a fan that they would infact be heading to these parts in December.
As the rumour mill is spinning, there is also talk of being joined by Def Leppard and Steel Panther, both looking to support new albums.
Watch this space!

The wonderful man that is Mr Ginger Wildheart
You may have noticed the other day we posted about Ginger Wildheart’s current music pledge to be able to make his new triple album (which you can still donate to here by the way). Hundreds of people reached for their wallets and within just 6 hours the minimum target was reached. The importance of this? Whilst Swagger Jagger may lead the charts, not only does it prove that people in the UK are...

Todd Kerns - Go Time!
In a break from the norm, instead of writing about a new album about to be released I am going to write a little bit about one of my personal favourites, one I feel doesn’t get enough recognition but that most definitely should.
You may recognise Todd Kerns from bands like Age of Electric, Static in Stereo, his latest band Sin City Sinners or as bass player in guitar legend Slash’s current line...

Vintage Trouble - The Bomb Shelter Sessions
Vintage Trouble are a name that is being thrown around more and more as the year progresses. From LA, they are a gritty rock & roll band with a hint of soul, they are definitely worth paying attention to. Stating influences such as Otis Redding, The Rolling Stones & Prince, the combination of these influences can be detected throughout the album resulting in their catchy and addictive...

That sounds familiar.... →
Our song of the day today was a blinding cover of Psycho Killer originally by Talking Heads but tackled by Velvet Revolver, one of my personal favourites and it got me thinking just how many great cover versions there are out there….
It has become very normal in recent times for ‘serious’ artists to cover mainstream pop hits, usually live versions, B-sides or for radio shows,...

The Music, Leeds Academy, 06.08.2011
An atmosphere of celebration surrounds Leeds as fans prepare for The Music’s last ever performance in their hometown. With 2 sold out shows over 2 nights, they were going to be something to remember.
Support band The Whip were a great choice and complimented tonight’s headliners well. An indie sound infused with a hint of electro, the crowd warmed to them and got the night off to a good...
