Midnight Mixtape

UK Release March 21st 2011 on Hopeless Records

They might be the grandaddies of pop-punk-emo, but Florida-formed LA-based Yellowcard sound like they’ve come through a Cocoon-style rebirth on this, their seventh studio album. ‘When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes’ is the result of their return after a two-year break, and after one listen, you’ll wonder how you coped without them.

This is sizzling, gut-knawing emo, hot as the California sun and fun as cruising in an open-topped car. For a band that’s been together 14 years, this is exploding with energy and pace. Read more here!

MyChildren MyBride have embarked on an epic European tour with The Chariot, returning to our shores with new material and a fierce live show. We caught up with frontman Matthew Hasting before he hit the stage to chat about the tour, the music, life on the road and what the future holds for the Alabama ‘hardcore-influenced-metal’lers.

The mood in the dark, low-ceilinged Camden Underworld is pretty intense tonight, as a mixture of hardcore fist-swinging fans in the pit and metal scene kids at the back all eagerly wait for The Chariot to start the spectacle; because that’s exactly what it’ll be.

This was always going to be a pretty special gig. One UK show and around a thousand Rise Against fans, all gathered at the Electric Ballroom in Camden. The crowd was hyped and on edge long before the band took to the stage, and the excitement was palpable.

Rise Against began with the slow build up of ‘Chamber The Cartridge’ starting an electrifying set. Their blistering punk rock was focused and energetic, and smashing their way through a varied setlist, highlights were numerous. The classic, ‘Like The Angel’, was beautiful live, while ‘Saviour’ was a force to be reckoned with. A couple of ‘Endgame’ tracks got an airing, singles ‘Help Is On The Way’ and ‘Architects’, which were both received with great enthusiasm, perhaps a surprising amount for newer material.

UK Release March 14th 2011 on Interscope Records

Drummer, producer, clothing and record company entrepreneur, reality TV star and plane crash-surviving all-round cool guy Travis Barker shows off his hip-hop street cred on this, his first solo record. And no, he’s not actually rapping, instead producing and keeping the backbeat for a veritable who’s who of hip-hop, rap and rock.

This could have sounded like an awestruck kid in a sweet shop, but the line-up alone (Cypress Hill, Busta Rhymes, Game) proves this skinny white boy knows what he’s doing.
