Some bands spend their entire careers wallowing in indie obscurity, never reaching the level of mainstream success they deserve due to an unwillingness to compromise their sound & style to fit into the basic pop package that has dominated the charts for years and years. Others find themselves thrust into the spotlight unexpectedly, collecting acclaim & recognition because of this unwillingness to compromise.  Then there are those that fit the package perfectly, yet for whatever reason, still can’t seem to burst the bubble into the collective consciousness.

Live4ever’s highlights this week include a new album from a Manchester legend, a farewell gig from a popular Sheffield band, and the return of a long-running music-based TV series.

Albums

Ian Brown‘s new album ‘My Way‘ is released this week. The album has already spawned hit single ‘Stellify‘, and has been hailed as his strongest solo album to date. Elsewhere, US band Alice In Chains release their first album since 1995 – ‘Black Gives Way To Blue‘ is out on the 29th.
