Electro-rockers The Big Pink, led principally by Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell, have revealed they are already turning their attention to recording a new album, following the release of their debut LP ‘A Brief History Of Love‘ in September last year.

It is safe to say that Jack White has done it again. With a seemingly never-ending outpouring of great album after great album his latest venture with The Dead Weather closely follows suit. “Sea of Cowards,” the sophomore album from the four-piece composed of Jack White, Alison Mosshart, Dean Fertitia, and Jack Lawrence, is to The Dead Weather what “Consolers of the Lonely” was for The Raconteurs: the better-written, produced and more thoughtful answer to the band’s first effort. From end to end “Sea of Cowards” has head-bobbing grooves supported by White on drums and Lawrence on bass, addictive melodies supported by Fertitia’s keyboard and guitar, and dark and soulful vocals by both Mosshart and White. Often times it’s hard for the listener to distinguish between the two singers, which adds to the power behind each vocal line and the harmonies between the two.

Florence Welch has revealed she will begin recording the follow-up to her debut smash-hit ‘Lungs‘ after she completes a busy summer festival season.

Rock giants Muse have been discussing their upcoming headline appearance at next month’s Glastonbury Festival, promising fans the show will involve them doing  ‘something we’ve never done before’.

Oxford’s Foals are taking their indie show on the road in October and November in support of their current second album Total Life Forever. The Band have announced shows in England and Scotland.
