Egyptian Hip Hop Latest News

The full line up for Truck 13 has just been announced and it’s looking as choice as ever. One of our favourite festivals, Truck scores points for keeping it ecclectic without compromising the quality and for allowing their local vicar to sell ice creams. Rock n roll! The line up includes acts of genius like Pulled Apart by Horses, Fists, Future of the Left and Redlands Palomino...
Egyptian Hip Hop: Christmas Trees > Happy Mondays Egyptian Hip Hop are an easy band to love. Or to hate, depending on your point of view. The most interesting people are divisive in this way. This interview is the story of a band who are loathed and loved for exactly the same reasons. By the end you’ll know where you stand. And they won’t care what you think. At...
              Two days after In The City has ended, and almost all traces of its existence have dissipated. The buzz has moved elsewhere, and a only few limp posters remain. Shame. The feeling of being in the sticky armpit of the UK’s new music world was nice while it lasted. So here’s an affectionate* faux-award-ceremony look back at ITC: The...
February went fast didn’t it? It’s almost as if it was shorter than the other months or something. Inevitably, the great new bands intruded our lives thick and fast, and here is a 15 minute radio-riffic celebration of February’s Five Best New Bands: ANBAD RADIO SHOW // February’s Top Five New Bands And here’s the links to the bands mentioned in the ...
The opinion heat-haze of In The City means that an unbiased view of a band becomes impossible. As many people will rave over an average, or downright dull band as those who froth over a good one. You quickly realise that listening to opinion at ITC is almost always a waste of time. For example: I was told that Egyptian Hip Hop were, variously, ‘rude’, ‘piss-poor’,...

Egyptian Hip Hop MP3s

Some days, one new band will suffice. This is not one of those days. Occasionally the pile of new bands marked ‘to do’ in ANBAD Towers becomes so vast and unwieldy, that drastic action has to take place. Today is one of those days. So here’s the slight return of the Great ANBAD Band Clear Out. Everything must go! First! a revistitation from one of ANBAD’s best...
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart We are gathered in the relatively confined space that is Upstairs at The Garage to see three acts that have been flagged up as having the potential to break out of such small arenas and dominate much bigger venues. First up we get Egyptian Hip-Hop, a very young bunch of Mancunian lads who touch on any number of musical trends, without really seeming...
According to This is Horseflesh (the nom de guerre of Egyptian Hip Hop drummer Alex Pierce) this fantastic ‘reincarnation’ of the band’s own "Rad Pitt" was written to sound "like an ’80s piano house remix of a Knife cover". Given it achieves this despite the original sounding like New Order jamming with Tracy Chapman, I fully expect to be reborn in a...
