London – Continuing Best New Band’s weekly round-up, we preview some new music that has taken our fancy over the past seven days. Foxygen, the eclectic LA-based duo of Sam France and Jonathan Rado, has a new video for the surprisingly brief “Upon A Hill”, a track off the band’s latest album, Hang. The piece
London – With no Grammy or Brits winners to highlight this week, Best New Band’s weekly round-up takes a look at some up and coming names with new music to unveil. We won’t mention the Oscars for risk of pushing the wrong envelope. Presently it seems that scarcely a week goes by without Indie darlings
London – Continuing Best New Band’s weekly round-up, last week was owned by the Grammys. This week the focus switched across the Atlantic to London where the Brit Awards were aired in a never more cavernous-looking London’s O2.

The austere grandeur of Islington Assembly Hall seemed wholly appropriate and it
London – On its fifth London gig in the space of a fortnight, Brooklyn band Pavo Pavo could be excused for starting to think of the city as its second home, or at least by now might have memorised the London Underground map, in its North and East quadrants. The short European hop started with
London – Brooklyn band Pavo Pavo harbours a quirky name, a retro future album cover, and a classical meets pop heritage that perhaps unsurprisingly yields a fascinating mix.
