The Magnetic Fields will release new album ‘Love At The Bottom Of The Sea‘ on March 5th next year through Domino.

After a manic 2011 which has seen the band become one of the most talked about new acts of the year, The Vaccines have already begun unveiling plans for 2012, and will play four UK shows next May.

The Maccabees have released more UK tour dates for next year to go with their previously announced January 2012 shows.

Miles Kane has announced a series of UK dates for April next year, and is also expected to release a new single to mark the tour.

Penguins, the new band led by one-time Oasis and Who drummer Zak Starkey, have released their debut single ‘Hate Male‘ to the online world.

As we continue to endure the evil uprising that is being led by Simon Cowell, under no illusion that this onslaught of inane, uninspired pop ‘music’ will ever end, we should take a moment to appreciate the genuine talent we have nurtured organically (even if it’s not being rammed down your throat every Saturday night).

There is something monstrously unjust in a world that is captivated by throwaway, manufactured pop music and fails to recognise the wealth of joy that is to be devoured in an immensely talented band such as Young Knives. They certainly know how to craft a quirkly, sharp, infectious pop song and, with the release of their third album ‘Ornament’s From the Silver Arcade‘, they’ve proved they have staying power that last’s longer than 15 minutes.

The DOT, the new band consisting of the now former Streets leader Mike Skinner and Robert Harvey, ex frontman of The Music, have posted their debut video online.
