‘Somewhere Over the M6’ is the first single from Benjamin Shaw’s forthcoming debut album ‘There’s Always Hope, There’s Always Cabernet’ – out November 21st.

David-Ivar […]
For their loosely Halloween-themed EP ‘Horror Tour’, Moon Duo veer away from the sun-drenched tone of their recent LP ‘Mazes’, and towards driving themes from an antique book of spells they discovered at a library sale in rural New Hampshire. Three of the four tracks are instrumental – the titular ‘Horror Tour’ is the exception […]
A few months ago The Vaccines asked their fans to help them make their next music video. All they had to do to participate was to tag their festival images on the photo sharing app Instagram with #vaccinesvideo and the best ones would be used to make the video.
