Lady Gaga poses as a punk statue of liberty for V magazine cover

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Fashion and pop sensation Lady Gaga has appeared on the cover of V Magazines fall edition with designer Marc Jacobs. The photo shoot was done by Mario Testino, probably the most famous fashion and celebrity photographer. Gaga, a native of the big apple, is on the cover for the magazines New York Issue. Understandably the editor is overwhelmingly pleased with the results enthusing that ”Just as the Statue of Liberty was France’s gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York’s greatest gift to pop culture and fashion”.

Klaxons ‘Surfing the Void’ is more nu metal than nu rave

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Klaxons second album which was released on Monday is influenced by another alternative sub culture and is not just more of the nu rave sounds that earned them critical acclaim with their first album in 2007. Surfing the Void has been produced by Ross Robinson who in the past has worked with metal bands such as Korn and Slipnot. Tracks such as the recent single ‘Echoes’ are reminiscent of the style on Myths of the Near Future and the record in it’s entirety doesn’t abandon the sound that has made them so popular. However, Ross’s influence on the album is said to have pushed the band closer to nu metal as guitar riffs and a distorted rock sound feature heavily. Fans will be pleased that the band have continued to experiment whilst still having made another dance record.
