Those who follow Mumford And Sons news closely will already have heard most of the band’s upcoming second album ‘Babel’ from live recordings.

The XX have posted another cut from their upcoming record ‘Coexist’ online, this time in the form of Chained.

July 28, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I’ve never been a massive Bloc Party fan, but the band are currently in Australia playing Splendour In The Grass, are about to release a new album, and just uploaded a new song from the album. It seems like everything is aligning for me to post that song, and to top everything off I actually quite like it.
