Morose Scottish three-piece The Twilight Sad venture outside their comfort zone for their third full-length album No One Can Ever Know.
Music
Interview: Zebrahead
Taking some time out from playing games in their dressing room, rhythm guitarist and lead singer Matty Lewis met us backstage for an interview before the highly anticipated show.
Album Review: All The Saints – Intro To Fractions
Sufficiently psychedelic but not lacking in originality or indeed in groove.
Album Review: Nada Surf – The Stars are Indifferent to Astronomy
Laidback, often soothing rock is the perfect addition to any revision playlist at the moment, and Nada Surf are clear veterans at what they do.
Album Review: Howler – America Give Up
Howler are being tipped by some as ‘the saviours’ of music, and whilst their debut is a fair effort, it’s a big ask for a band to make the same sort of impact as bands like The Strokes did in the early naughties unless they discover their own generation’s voice.
Album Review: Laura Gibson – La Grande
Kicking things off with its title track, La Grande is curiously both delicate but strong at the same time; her light, home-recorded vocals work brilliantly against a wealth of different instruments, from piano to violin and clarinet via acoustic guitars and a powerful organ. There’s a level of fragility to her voice that adds a sense of almost foreboding at times.
November Gig Gallery
There are countless fantastic gigs around Sheffield every month, and our brilliant photographers take loads of great shots, so we thought we needed to showcase those photos properly. Enjoy the first of our monthly Gig Galleries.
Live: Magazine @ Plug – 9/11/11
A sea of leather jackets and receding hair-lines gathered around the stage in a frenzy of nostalgia.
Live: The Naked and Famous @ Leadmill – 12/11/11
Although there are plenty of killer moments during the set, there is perhaps twice as much filler and the singles are by far and away the most memorable.
Live: Vintage Trouble @ Plug – 11/11/11
The crowd remained stapled to the floor until the band returned to the stage for the last time. The final song was thick with slick guitar solos and destitute lyrics about rejecting a past love.
