DOWNLOAD: The Drums - Money (Beat Connection Remix)
Given that I’ve spent the last three days writing about gangs of kids fighting police in the streets and unprecedented looting sprees in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and other English towns and cities, it’s hard for me not to see everything through a riot prism. (Ie a prism that doesn’t have any glass left because it’s all been smashed.) I go to get the milk...
Polly Mackey & The Pleasure Principle – Higher
CAN I JUST SAY?! CAN I JUST SAY – how AMAZING this band is? On so many levels. The first point is that Polly Mackey & The Pleasure Principle is not just another band from London – they’re from Liverpool! (or Wrexham near Wales depending on how you look at it) Secondly, Polly is COOL AND amazing with the guitar. Thirdly – they sound like Tegan & Sara + Uh Huh Her....
The View From… Wigan
I’m not going to lie. I’m not the most organised person in the world. But even I feel awful that the reason that this following piece showcasing the dubious and multifarious delights of the northern English town of Wigan was that I simply plain forgot about it. Awful, awful, awful. Still, Mike has written a snigger-worthy and idiosyncratic view of his hometown of Wigan...
Ladytron and Marina Gasolina at The Forum - 08 June 2011
Ladytron   I’m standing in The Forum being entertained by Figo. Not the mesmeric Portuguese footballer, but a DJ who is onstage and laying down a selection of beats. It’s kind of alright, but it is a waste of stage. Figo would be just as effective if he was packed away in a booth somewhere. Watching a guy in a hoody tweaking a button occasionally does not constitute a live show...
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,...

Surfer Blood - Floating Vibes (Twin Shadow Remix)
(Photo: Ian Witlen) So I just put "Surfer Blood Futureheads" into Google and apparently I’m the only one who sees the connection between the East Coast lo-fi troop and Sunderland’s post-punk yelpers. This Twin Shadow remix of "Floating Vibes" kind of sounds like The Police and Everything Everything too — is Florida a lot like North East England? I guess...
The Hot Melts A Devil Exclusive
The Devil’s fellow scousers took time out from their campaign to rule the musical world to provide an exclusive insight into the band, their influences, the strangest place they’ve played and some tips to beat the credit crunch. So, without further ado, here is another exclusive Devil interview with Jai Otsa the bass player with one of the hottest (groan!) bands of the moment...

A Northern Soul
Great Northern Genre: Rock / Rock / Rock From: California, United States If you’ve ever wondered whether an alliance between Madonna and the White Stripes would lead to world domination then California’s Great Northern may just have the answer with ‘Houses’. The Devil’s UK readers can find...
The Force Is With Them
Photons Genre: Indie / Alternative / Rock From: San Francisco, California, United States When did size become so important for North American and Canadian bands? I’ve been trying to convince Mrs Devil that size ain’t important and now it seems that you can’t be in a band if it’s got less members than there...

Liverpool Reviews

Stealing Sheep - Interview
Stealing Sheep are a collection of rather lovely girls from Scouse-land (Liverpool). We fell in love with their dreamy, gentle but quirky harp-filled bliss back when they emailed us with their release ‘What if the Lights Went Out’. There’s something about their multi-layered, beautiful vocals that is impossible to ignore. Finally, after ages of emailing back and forth and...

LATE OF THE PIER, VIDEO NASTIES
Venue: Revo, Liverpool Teaser: Tom Norton catches up with the crunchy synth types on the Liverpool leg of their tour. But will he find soul beneath their luminous neon suits? Find out here… Pull quote 2: a considerate portion of their material sounds fairly drab… First para: Late of The Pier manage to dazzle tonight with a flamboyant menagerie of...
