Beatsteaks are one of our favorite bands. That’s no secret, right? But so far we didn’t know they were big fans of cycling. Well at least that’s what they look like in their new video for Ticket. That’s right, there’s a new single and it’s not even from the album? So is there a new Beatsteaks EP coming? No there isn’t. What is coming though, is the first proper Best Of from their time with Warner music (sorry folks, but that means no classics pre-„Living Targets“ will be on thereRead More

Foals are back! What Went Down is a hell of a single! After an unexpected Facebook snippet, a BBC Radio One primetime premiere we finally have a visual for the song that actually makes the whole thing even tastier. I’ve got a longer history with this band, dating back to my time in the UK. Back then I ignored them. Even though their first two albums were good albums, looking back. But what really got me going was this song. And then there was this whole album proper rocking, properRead More

La Petite Rouge, a young girl from Germany is writing songs better suited for UK clubs, the sunrise over fresh cut grass or dim-lit alleyways. Bloody hell Beggars, sign her up already! Sometimes you get lucky when you’re working in the music industry. Sometimes somebody tips you off, gives you the nod in the right direction or just puts a pink CD in a see-through sleeve on your desk without any further comment. A lot of the time the music you listen to is ok. Then there’s the flood ofRead More

It was one of the hottest gigs I’ve ever been to. Witnessing Beatsteaks live at Reeperbahn Festival in 2014 was one of the things you probably won’t forget that easily. For those who don’t know Reeperbahn Festival, it’s basically the German/European equivalent of SXSW and it’s getting bigger with every year. The whole thing is centered around Hamburg’s famous red-light district where the Beatles learned their trade, where sex-shops are door to door with great clubs, where stag-dos cross paths with crooks, hustlers and the hip party crowd. There’s noRead More

AB Syndrom are back with their new video for ‚Jalousien‘. And it’s quite brilliant in its simplicity. When I was a kid, I was always scared of people being able to look into our bathroom when I was going to have a shower (well I wasn’t a kid, let’s say during my teenage years). I spent weeks fiddling around the Jalousien (the shutter) looking for the perfect blind spot. Either the shutters were set to too far down, or too far up. I was never really satisfied. AB Syndrom playRead More

Well someone is back with a bang. I was listening to the last Maccabees record Given to the Wild on vinyl last night. I had almost forgotten how good this album was. But new track Marks to Prove It is a lot louder and noisier. Which is a slightly surprising change but nevertheless a good one in my opinion. Great video as well!Read More

Ah well, how can you hate some rumbling bass, drums, guitars and a sweet voice? UK band Bad Ideas just released a new video for their song Clumsy Hands and the song has everything we need to forget about the crappy weather here in stormy spring. German label Uncle M is once again proving its great taste! All thumbs up.Read More

Pup blew me away last year as I said before. But seriously, these guys are just amazeballs. Look at their video for ‚Guilt Trip‘ that’s been nominated for the Prism Prize, an award for Canada’s best music video. When you watch it, you can see why it’s been nominated. That’s definitely the stuff band legends are made of. I can once again just do nothing more but highly recommend this band and this music video!Read More

Well someone posts a link on facebook. I stumble across it, as I trust that person to have a good taste in music. I click the link. A song starts playing and it keeps me glued to my screen and my ears are peeled. The band’s facebook page says they are from Berlin and consist of four members. And that’s a lot more than what their official homepage tells a visitor. Anyway, this is serious stuff. Probably the soundtrack for this weekend in the city!Read More

A thundering bass. Drums that kick in slower than you expected. And then a razor blade voice. More chaotic drumming and backup vocals that add melodies. What is this band? Well, it’s a great hardcore band and ‚God Deluxe‘ a great song that will get you juices going in less than two minutes. If you’re a fan of Touche Amore, La Dispute (the earlier outing) or Defeater that is. Their as of now still untitled new album will be out on Equal Vision Records and that is a label IRead More
