Lana Del Rey ‘Video Games’

September 13, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

It has been too long since I have heard new music that takes me breath away and holds me captive for three and a half minutes without another thought in the world.

Conveying this in a studio release is significantly more difficult than conveying it live, but yet, with the release of their long-anticipated debut album ‘Never Trust A Happy Song’, Grouplove have done just that.

41st And Home ‘Gorbachev’

September 8, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

41st And Home are yet another amazing up and coming Canadian band, formed in 2008 when two friends found a cello in a garage and decided that not knowing how to play it shouldn’t stop them from starting a band with a focus on orchestral elements and a real epic feel to everything that they do.
