Stone Roses ‘I Wanna Be Adored’ covered by The Raveonnettes

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Not many artists have had the guts to cover anything by the Stone Roses but the Raveonettes have just done exactly that and the results are not bad. The iconic punk footwear brand Dr Martens have turned 50 and to celebrate they have commissioned 10 song covers, by 10 different artists each accompanied by it’s own video. The brand wanted artists to record a cult classic track which represents the spirit of the people who’ve worn DM’s over the past 50 years. You can view The Raveonettes video along with the nine other music videos here.

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.

Punk fashion witnesses yet another mainstream revival

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Punk will forever be associated with British street style but every couple of years it sees a revival within catwalk fashion. Designers have always claimed that the British streets provide a massive source of inspiration for their work and in many of the Autumn/Winter 2010 collections this has been channeled through the revival of punky tartan and plaid kilts. Miu Miu, Burberry London, Christopher Kane, Pringle of Scotland have all referenced eighties punk through their kilt designs. See below for Chloe’s take on the trend:

Kasabian front man sings lead vocals on new single from another Leicester band

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Leicester band The Lysergic Suite were lucky enough to have Kasabian front man Tom Meighan volunteer to sing on their new single. NME.com reported last week that after hearing demo tracks from the bands album Meighan asked ‘why haven’t you asked me to sing on it?’  The bands regular singer and guitarist Gren Spencer said it was one of his ‘proudest moments ever’. The single ‘Ghosts on Crusade’ is available for download and is the title of their EP which was released back in June.
