It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years since Jake Bugg released his extraordinary self- titled debut album. Since then he’s become one of the UK’s most prolific and established songwriters. And to celebrate, he’s playing a special hometown show at Nottingham Arena on November 26th.

Pre-sale tickets HERE from Wednesday, June 8th at 10am, and general sale HERE from Friday, June 10th at 10am.

This must-see show will feature Jake and his wonderful band perform his Number 1-selling, breakthrough debut album Jake Bugg in its entirety, as well as an acoustic set and an electric set showcasing songs from his four other studio albums: ‘Shangri La’, ‘On My One’, ‘Hearts That Strain’ and his latest ‘Saturday Night, Sunday Morning’. Special guests that have featured at various parts of his career, will also take part.

Later this year a special 10th Anniversary Edition of Jake Bugg – available as Deluxe 2LP, D2C Deluxe Colour 2LP, a Deluxe 3CD and Deluxe digital versions will be released. More details to be announced shortly.

Last summer Jake released his latest album, the acclaimed Saturday Night, Sunday Morning, and saw the unveiling of a documentary on Brazilian footballing legend ‘Ronaldinho’, that Jake wrote the score for, offering even more proof of an artist very much still at the top of his game.

Following the release of their anthemic single ‘Bloodrush’, The Amazons have dropped their blistering new track ‘Ready For Something.’ The track is the second taste of new music from the band’s forthcoming album How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me? – out September 2nd 2022 on Fiction Records.

An unshackled, guitar-driven rock banger, packed to the brim with heavy riffs, ‘Ready For Something’ is one of the standout songs from the record. “‘Ready For Something’ is a scratching at the walls kind of song,’ lead singer Matt Thomson said of the track. ‘You’ve been in the cage for far too long and you are ready. Ready to live, ready to experience, ready to make mistakes. Anything.” Listen to ‘Ready For Something’ HERE.

How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me? is both a love letter and a rallying cry. Expansive, uplifting, sun-drenched singalongs produced by Jim Abbiss (Bombay Bicycle Club, Arctic Monkeys, Adele), and featuring co-writing collaborations with the likes of Maggie Rogers & Jamie Hartman, find the Reading four-piece emerging from the darkness of 2019’s Future Dust full of lust for life and post-pandemic hope.

The boys continue to tour the UK with a string of summer festivals and a huge newly-announced UK tour in October, which will see the band headline London’s Roundhouse. Tickets available HERE.

‘A joyous, jubilant and effervescent return’ – Clash Magazine 8/10

‘A brilliant body of work that is bold and effortlessly cool’ – 1883 Magazine

‘Kane really hones his craft throughout this record and showcases what he’s capable of creating.’ – Gigwise 8/10

With his stunning new album Change The Show out today, Miles Kane has revealed the video for the album’s anthemic, horn driven title track. The single follows ‘Nothing’s Ever Gonna Be Good Enough’, his undeniably infectious duet with Corinne Bailey Rae, which is currently playlisted on Radio 2.

The Diamond Dogs-era Bowie-influenced title track was written by Miles while watching the news one morning, on the sofa, in his underpants. “I’m not a political person, but there is so much injustice around right now,” he says. “So much bad news and negativity. I was angry. I captured that moment.” Watch the video for Change The Show HERE.

To celebrate the release of Change The Show today, Miles will be doing a very special pop up event at Randy’s Wing Bar in Hackney where he will be serving wings in his very own hot sauce and performing acoustic versions of tracks from the album, plus some old classics. Tickets for the events sold-out on the day of release. Miles’ Crispy Buffalo Sauce is also available to buy on his webstore.

Ahead of a run of exclusive acoustic in-store shows next week, Miles will be performing a special live session on Chris Evans’ Virgin Radio Breakfast show today, before an appearance on Sunday Brunch this weekend.

Opening with the honest soft croon of ‘Tears are Falling’, Change The Show is a joyous ride from start to finish and features a surprising, but spectacular appearance from Grammy-nominated singer Corinne Bailey Rae for a duet on ‘Nothing’s Ever Gonna Be Good Enough’. It’s an album that best represents Miles himself: charmingly authentic, and like nothing else you’ll hear in pop music today. 

“This album was born out of an intense period of self-reflection; having all this unexpected time on my hands,” Miles said of the last 18 months. “I wrote songs about big highs, big lows, daydreams, true friends and deep feelings. I learnt to let the future unfold of its own accord, while staying true to myself and that has led to what feels to me like a really uplifting album!”

A record for fans both new and old, Change The Show is the Miles Kane album we’ve all been waiting for. The apotheosis of his previous works, incorporating those classic rock and glam influences, but focusing more closely on Motown, soul, and Fifties R&B.

Alexis French by ALEX LAKE INSTA @TWOSHORTDAYS

‘Guiding Light’ – Stunning First New Track

https://AlexisFFrench.lnk.to/truth

Acclaimed pianist, composer & producer Alexis Ffrench, today announces his brand-new record Truth – out May 6th on Sony Music. Born from the grief, anger and helplessness he felt following the death of George Floyd – Alexis tried to make sense of it the only way he knew how – sat at his piano composing. 

And with that, the stunning first track to be released, ‘Guiding Light’, is about a higher power and is dedicated to loved ones no longer with us. “My mental health was suffering last year because I felt I wasn’t enough – and because I didn’t tell my father I loved him until the evening before he died,” Alexis comments. “I went to the piano and that sense of helplessness and breathlessness turned into a piece that represented the broad spectrum of emotions I was experiencing.” Watch the video HERE.

Alexis Ffrench isn’t afraid of fusing his music with weighty issues. For years, the pioneering pianist has used his music to highlight mental health, discuss diversity and challenge the classical world to be more inclusive. Truth, his latest album, is his most powerful and political to date, and also his most optimistic.

“I’m usually wary of making any sort of political statement,” says Britain’s best-selling classical composer, whose songs have been streamed half a billion times, “but sometimes you have to put your head above the parapet. Truth was borne out of an intensely personal moment. These songs are my reaction to that.”

Recorded at the world-famous Real World Studios near Bath, he worked remotely with a 70-piece orchestra in a custom-built studio in Vienna. The soaring ‘Broken Sunsets’ reflects the composer’s hope for a brighter future, ‘Golden’ is a shimmering light illuminating the way ahead, and fans may recognise ‘Songbird’ as the follow on from ‘Bluebird’, the breakout track from Alexis’ 2018 chart-topper Evolution.

The artist who normally writes, orchestrates, performs and produces all his own albums, has worked with co-writer John Maguire (Calum Scott, Tom Chaplin) on ‘One Look’ featuring Leona Lewis – a spine-tingling classical-soul anthem. “As I wrote One Look I could hear lyrics on it,” says Alexis. “It’s scary for me to hand my music to anyone else, but John has written so many amazing songs and he has a real ear for pop melodies. Leona had input too. We had many meetings over Zoom, talking about our own experiences and what we wanted the lyrics to express. Her voice is spectacular. I’m immensely proud of the collaboration.”

Alexis doesn’t just talk about change. He frequently posts tutorials on YouTube and social media to help young musicians develop their skills and last year announced the launch of two annual scholarships to study at the world leading Royal Academy of Music, his alma mater, supported by Sony Music’s Social Justice Fund. This January, Alexis was appointed as a governing body member and trustee of the Royal Academy.

Truth is a collection of concise, compelling, thought-provoking recordings which has seen him bring classical music to the masses since he first topped the charts in 2018. An album borne out of feelings of grief, despair, anger and injustice, it is proof of the power of community, positive thought and collective healing.

The maestro may be wary of politics, but as ever, the result is an intoxicating listen.

Today, Eddie Vedder releases a new single entitled ‘Brother the Cloud’. It heralds the arrival of his highly anticipated new album, Earthling, available on February 11th via Seattle Surf/Republic Records. The digital pre-order/pre-save for Earthling just went live on all streaming platforms—HERE and physical pre-order (cd, vinyl & cassette HERE). 

Listen to “Brother the Cloud” HERE

Earthling, which was produced by Grammy Award® winning producer Andrew Watt, is Vedder’s first album since 2011’s Ukulele Songs and his first solo tour in over a decade. 

The track is the latest single off the new album and joins previously released tracks: “Long Way,” which Variety noted, the strident, guitar-driven “Long Way” finds Vedder narrating a tale of a man haunted by a lost love,” and “The Haves” which Stereogum described “a searching heart ballad about personal connection, and it addresses the increasing divide between rich and poor.”

Earthling illuminates every side of Vedder and includes collaborations with some of music’s most iconic legends including Stevie Wonder, Ringo Starr, Elton John, as well as Andrew Watt, Chad Smith, and Josh Klinghoffer.

The Earthlings are drummer Chad Smith, keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Josh Klinghoffer, bassist Chris Chaney, guitarist/vocalist Glen Hansard, and guitarist Andrew Watt. The newly formed group gave their live debut at Vedder’s own Ohana Festival this past September.

Following the release of their acclaimed new LP, The Future, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have announced a run of May 2022 UK dates, including a date at London’s Roundhouse on 27th May. The Future is out now on Stax Records, listen to the new record HERE.

Known for their raucous, electric live shows, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats will play the following May 2022 shows in the UK.  Tickets available on the 19th November at 10am from HERE.

May 2022

Fri 20th Manchester, Academy

Sat 21st Glasgow, Barrowland

Mon 23rd Birmingham, O2 Institute

Thurs 26th Leeds, O2 Academy

Fri 27th London, Roundhouse

Recorded at Rateliff’s own Broken Creek Studio outside of Denver, The Future was produced by Bradley Cook (Bon Iver, Kevin Morby, The War on Drugs) and R.M.B.—the production trio of Rateliff, Patrick Meese (The Night Sweats) and James Barone (Beach House)—who were the team behind Rateliff’s acclaimed 2020 solo album And It’s Still Alright. Additional production was added by musician, engineer and producer Elijah Thompson (Father John Misty, Richard Swift) while Jenny Lewis, Jess Wolfe and Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso) contributed backing vocals.

Earlier this year, Rateliff and the band made their debut on “Saturday Night Live” featuring the premiere performance of “Redemption,” written for and featured in the film Palmer starring Justin Timberlake. Nathaniel also released a new live album, Red Rocks 2020, which was recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheatre during Rateliff’s mid-September run of socially distanced shows.

Country superstar Luke Combs won Entertainer of the Year at last night’s 55th Annual CMA Awards. Combs also surprised the world with the release of his new song, “Doin’ This,” coinciding with his live debut of the song during the CMA Awards broadcast. Listen to the song HERE  and watch/share the official music video HERE.

A personal reflection on his own life and career, Combs shares, “This song means a lot to me personally. Not to recite the lyrics, but for me, it’s truly about playing country music for a crowd, whether that’s 70 people or 70,000 people, and playing country music with my buddies in the band. It really doesn’t matter where we’re playing or how many people we’re playing for because it isn’t about the fame, the fortune, the name, or the glory. It’s about getting to make and play country music.” 

Known for his electric live performances, the 6x CMA, 3x ACM and 3x Billboard Music Award-winner is currently in the midst of an extensive headline arena tour featuring a special new in-the-round stage design.

Combs current single, “Cold As You,” is Top 5 and rising at US country radio—his seventh single released to radio from What You See Ain’t Always What You Get. The previous six singles along with his first five singles from his debut album have all gone No. 1—a historic, record-breaking run. Moreover, Combs recently released his new song, “South On Ya,” which has been selected as the official theme song for the SEC Network’s 2021 football season.

What You See Ain’t Always What You Get debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart as well as Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart last fall. The deluxe edition features all 18 tracks from Combs’ double Platinum-certified, global No. 1 album, What You See Is What You Get, as well as five new songs. With the release, Combs reached No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Albums chart, Top 100 Songs chart and Artists 500 chart—the first country artist ever to lead all three charts in the same week and first to top the Artists 500. 

Combs also recently made history as the first artist ever to have their first two studio albums spend 25 weeks or more at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart—breaking Taylor Swift’s previously held record at 24 weeks. The achievement comes as What You See Is What You Get topped the chart for the 25th time last summer, while his 2017 debut, This One’s For You, has spent 50 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1—tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997.  

 Additional notable achievements and recognitions: 

• Winner of two awards at the 54th Annual CMA Awards: Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year (What You See Is What You Get)
• Winner of two awards at the 55th ACM Awards: Album of the Year (What You See Is What You Get) and Male Artist of the Year

• This One’s For You is certified RIAA Triple Platinum and was also the most-streamed country album of 2019. 
• All five songs on his The Prequel EP charted on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Top 25—a feat not accomplished by any artist in 60 years since Johnny Cash in 1959

Lo Moon have today released their first new song since 2018.  The track, entitled “Dream Never Dies,” was produced by the band and Yves Rothman (Yves Tumor, Miya Folick).  Filled with piano accents, sprawling guitars, and frontman Matt Lowell’s signature soaring vocals punctuating the chorus, “Dream Never Dies” is equal parts early 2000’s Brit rock, the ache of summer nostalgia, reverb-soaked instruments, and one of the best melodies the nascent, critically-acclaimed band has ever written. It’s the sound of a band whose scope has widened in wholly stunning ways.

A video for the song has been released today as well, directed by Michael Hili (The Killers, Lemon Twigs, John Carroll Kirby). It takes the viewer on a journey through the architecture of dreams, expectations and hope.

Click HERE to watch the video for ‘Dream Never Dies’

“Dream Never Dies” is the first new song since their self-titled debut — a dark, luscious collection of songs full of crescendo rock and sparkling electronics — spanned the breadth of human highs and lows. The record could sit happily among the likes of Talk Talk, Roxy Music, early Coldplay, and the cinematic scope of Sigur Ros.

Says Lowell about the song, “As I get older, I’ve become more and more nostalgic about my youth. I had way less anxiety, I didn’t fear losing the people closest to me, or have to face the bigger questions of life. Hope and optimism were just a little bit easier back then. I work hard not to let the complexities of life suck the hope out of me. This song, if nothing else, is a reminder to try my best and not let that happen.”

Lo Moon received critical international praise from the likes of Vice, NME, The Sunday Times, DIY and many more. Elsewhere, their songs hit the top 3 on Billboard’s AAA chart and the band also appeared on U.S. late night TV shows Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Late Show with James Corden and played more than 150 dates, supporting the likes of The War On Drugs, Phoenix, Glass Animals, Air, London Grammar, and Chvrches along the way. Elsewhere, they capped off their touring with festival performances including All Points East in London.

Lo Moon are:  Matt Lowell (vocals, guitar and keys), Cristanta Baker (vocals, keys, bass), Sam Stewart (guitar), and Sterling Laws (drums).

Lo Moon will be touring through the U.S. and Europe opening for The War On Drugs next year. The tour includes the following UK and Ireland dates:

Open Road Films has acquired worldwide rights to horror comedy STUDIO 666, starring Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett & Rami Jaffee. The all-star cast also includes Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega and Jeff Garlin. The film, directed by BJ McDonnell, is set for a wide domestic theatrical release in 2,000+ theatres on February 25, 2022. The film’s international release date will be announced soon. 

The announcement was made by Open Road’s Tom Ortenberg and Foo Fighters.  

In STUDIO 666, the legendary rock band Foo Fighters move into an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll history to record their much anticipated 10th album.  Once in the house, Dave Grohl finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band.

“After decades of ridiculous music videos and numerous music documentaries under our collective belts, it was finally time to take it to the next level… A full length feature horror comedy film,” said Dave Grohl. “Like most things Foo, STUDIO 666 began with a far fetched idea that blossomed into something bigger than we ever imagined possible. Filmed at the same house where we recorded our latest album “Medicine at Midnight” (told you that place was haunted!) we wanted to recapture the classic magic that all of our favourite rock and roll movies had, but with a twist: hilarious gore that fucking ROCKS. And now, with the help of Tom Ortenberg and the team at Open Road Films we can finally let this cat out of the bag after keeping it our best kept secret for two years. Be ready to laugh, scream, and headbang in your popcorn. STUDIO 666 will fuck you up.”

“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Foo Fighters for a movie sure to make audiences scream and laugh,” said Ortenberg. “The Foos bring their comedic chemistry and the musical talent we all love to the big screen in this hysterical horror film.” 

Commented director BJ McDonnell: “STUDIO 666 is a perfect combination of all things I love. Rock, horror, and comedy all tied together in a very thrilling motion picture. I am so excited to have teamed up with the Foo Fighters to create an old school “Band” movie. It’s been years since we’ve seen something like the Beatles “Help!”, The Monkees “Head”, or “KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park”. Take that 60’s / 70’s old school band film fun, mix it with horror and STUDIO 666 is born! I am so ecstatic for audiences of film and music to come together and enjoy our film.”

“Over the past decade we have had the good fortune to collaborate with Foo Fighters on a variety of great projects,” said producers John Ramsay and James A. Rota. “Whether it be documentary films, TV series or music videos, they always bring their great talents and legendary sense of humor. STUDIO 666 takes this to a whole new level and we couldn’t be more proud of this movie. We can’t wait to share it with the world.”

Based on a story by Dave Grohl and screenplay by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes, STUDIO 666 is produced by Roswell Films’ and Therapy Studios’ John Ramsay & James A. Rota. Executive Producers are John Silva, Kristen Welsh, John Cutcliffe, Gaby Skolnek, Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee, James Masciello, Matthew Sidari, Mitchell Zhang and Tom Ortenberg.

The deal was negotiated by Tom Ortenberg and Matthew Sidari on behalf of Open Road Films and by WME Independent on behalf of the filmmakers.

Tickets on General Sale Friday 12 November at 9am at LiveNation.co.uk    

Multi-platinum selling, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted recording artist and songwriter Dave Gahan, along with long time musical partner Soulsavers (Rich Machin), will present an exclusive, intimate performance of their new album Imposter at the historic London Coliseum on 5 December 2021. Tickets go on general sale Friday 12 November at 9am at LiveNation.co.uk 

In speaking with journalist Chris Black about Imposter, Dave commented, “To get to play this special album on a stage in front of people, with the same group of musicians who recorded the album, that’s really important to me. I’m incredibly excited to present it live.” 

With Imposter, to be released worldwide through Columbia Records on 12 November, Dave takes listeners on a personal journey of 12 meticulously chosen reimagined songs from across genres and time periods, including selections from Neil Young, Bob Dylan, PJ Harvey, Charlie Chaplin and Mark Lanegan, amongst others. One would be remiss to refer to Imposter as a cover album. Rather, Imposter is a story of songs, which Dave Gahan & Soulsavers listened to, studied, absorbed, and gave a new life. All of the songs have deep meaning to Dave, making Imposter a reflection of Dave’s life – a story told by others, but in his own distinct voice. 

Imposter is Dave and Soulsavers third album collaboration, following their critically acclaimed 2015 release Angels & Ghosts and their first release, 2012’s The Light the Dead See. On the first song released from the album, the group’s take on Cat Power’s “Metal Heart,” Brooklyn Vegan wrote, “His version starts much like Cat Power’s spare original, from 1998’s Moon Pix, with just his voice and a guitar, but it soon grows into a full-on, stadium-sized rock epic,” and mxdwn praised, “The soft sentimental song floods the listener’s ears with magnificent harmonies alongside the slow building percussive elements that crescendo towards an uplifting end.” Additional acclaim so far has come from The Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Stereogum, among others, with Clash noting, that Imposter is “a rare chance to hear Dave Gahan sing other people’s material, but it’s also much more than a standard covers record.”
