Muso’s Guide Singles Club: 5th December 2011

December 5, 2011 Reviews, Single No Comments

by Steve McGillivray

December is traditionally the time of year when bands and artists unleash their horrific Christmas records upon a public that seems only too willing to lap them up. The last time someone did a good Christmas song was when Bruce Springsteen released ‘Santa Clause is Coming to Town’. It’s true. It was brilliant. You can bet that you won’t hear a Christmas song as good as that this year. Anyway, I digress. This weeks singles didn’t really contain any Christmas songs, unless you count a reference to a Snowman. Without further ado….. … Continue Reading

Muso’s Guide Singles Club: 28th November 2011

December 2, 2011 Reviews, Single No Comments

by Stephanie Stevens-Wade

After last week’s ‘girls’ theme I can safely say that this week is a pic’n’mix week, from British indie groups to Australian solo artists, wannabe pop stars to has-been rockers. The last week in November is the last window before the Christmas covers and re-releases take over the charts and airwaves, so enjoy this carefully picked selection before another TV advert persuades you to download ‘All I Want For Christmas’ again. (I may have thrown one festive single in for good measure as the week ends in December after all and I just couldn’t help myself!) … Continue Reading

Muso’s Guide Singles Club: 21st November 2011

November 21, 2011 Reviews, Single No Comments

by Lucy Dearlove

I’d picked four of the six singles for this column when I realised there was a distinct theme going on: GIRLS. So I figured I might as well run with it, and here are some fabulous ladies singing for the second last week in November. There’s some gorgeous stuff out this week, but I have to admit I haven’t listened to any of these as many times as I’ve listened to 212 by Azealia Banks. You’re welcome. … Continue Reading

Another week, another clutch of singles desperately clamouring for our attention like eager little puppies. So without further ado, let’s see what this Monday morning has to offer, shall we? … Continue Reading

Muso’s Guide Singles Club: 24th October 2011

October 24, 2011 Reviews, Single No Comments

by Steve McGillivray

It’s a mixed bag on this week’s singles roundup. Not in terms of quality, however, more in terms of genre. We’ve got instrumental hip-hop, a special guest appearance, some indie rock, a dash of reggae and a comeback that I am pretty excited about. And there’s not even a mention of Stone Roses (d’oh!). It’s all here in another episode of Muso’s Guide’s Singles Club! … Continue Reading

Muso’s Guide Singles Club: 17th October 2011

October 17, 2011 Reviews, Single No Comments

by Michael Waters

 

A relatively upbeat selection of singles for you this week, the change of the seasons considered. As the October torrent of gigs crashes down on us in the UK, it’s easy to neglect the weekly tide of single releases lapping away. Here is a fairly arbitrary clutch of new titles; some will go unnoticed with good reason, others are tricks not to be missed. … Continue Reading

Urusen Single Exclusive

October 15, 2011 Features, Single No Comments
Urusen One Day In June

Urusen One Day In June

Urusen are a fresh and original five-piece, recently highlighted as ‘British breakthrough talent’ (Music Week) and ‘one to watch’ (Metro newspaper).

Their roots are firmly bedded in the longstanding musical partnership of cousins Peter Beatty and Ben Please, from Somerset. After producing a debut album as a duo, the band grew into a five-piece whilst creating their latest album ‘One Day In June’. It began with home-made roots in one of the world’s tiniest (and more curious) studios in the cousins’ childhood home town of Bath and ended in Peter Gabriel’s legendary Real World Studios.
