The View From… Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
Bridie Jackson is a singer, songwriter, and – as will become apparent – an excellent writer. She was featured on ANBAD a while ago, too. She hails from the North-East of England, and, in the article below, provides a fascinating insight into the music scene of a part of the UK that is sometimes considered remote, or backward, or – worse – both. It’s an excellent,...

So What Robot - A Girl Who Reads
A Girl Who Reads is the quirky, bouncy debut single from Geordie four-piece So What Robot. It’s out August 22nd, and you can have a listen right here (well, when you click ‘read more’ anyway) The excitable, sugar-infused sound isn’t a million miles away from our very own darlings We Are The Physics, although possibly in their infancy, and not as dark. That’s...

Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra
Here’s something a bit different from what I usually cover on here. For all of you partial to a bit of old time gypsy-swing folk music, it can be difficult to find contemporary artists with a bit of style that can and do actually write their own tracks, rather than just imitating what’s come before. I give you Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra. A mongrel group made up of...
Hold Your Horse Is - Artrocker Tour Diary Video
Have a swatch at this stunning tour video, mashed up by Artrocker by clips from a week on the road with Hold Your Horse Is and Mojo Fury. The track used is ‘Welcome to Obscurity’ by Hold Your Horse Is
On the Road With Hold Your Horse Is - NEWCASTLE
  Alreeet? We joined up with Hold Your Horse Is as they trundled into Newcastle for their first time ‘oot in the toon’. Okay, so my Geordie accent isn’t that convincing, but there weren’t too many folk with an accent that Cheryl Cole would be proud (or ashamed?) of. The lads’ attempts to sound like a native turned out more Jamaican than a lovely Northern ...
T in the park festival 2009. Friday
The Mars Volta opened the BBC Radio One/NME stage in the early evening, bouncing onstage to acrobatics on the drums. I have a foggy recollection of seeing them years ago supporting some Scottish band, and not being impressed, so pleasantly surprised to see my expectations weren’t met in this case. They’re doing the rounds this summer too, stopping at the Wickerman Festival in the...
