Audiophiles: PS.I Love You
If you follow the same websites, twitter feeds, Facebook pages and record labels as me you couldn’t have failed to notice how PS.I Love You have been getting some much deserved attention for their 2nd full length album “Death Dreams”, released recently on Paper Bag Records. Admittedly with my State Of Music project taking up …
Audiophiles – Gerard & The Watchmen
I figured after my nine month American adventure with The State Of Music, it was time to find something a little closer to home to enjoy. Show a bit of patriotic duty in this jubilee year or something. Being a (not hugely) popular music website championing the plights of unsigned new music and indie label …
Audiophiles: Camden Calling – Locked In Transit 2012
After a quirk of fate I happened to find myself in London last Friday with a couple of hours spare before my train home and by chance it just so happened that those two hours also coincided with a Camden Calling event taking place a mere 10 minutes away from Euston Station. For those of …
Audiophiles: Mad Gregs
“I wish more bands would make use of the bass clarinet” was my first thought when listening to Mad Gregs latest album “Relatives”, which was released a few weeks back on Fake Four. The Californian four piece are certainly not your usual Fake Four artist, especially when you look at this Conneticut labels output over …
Audiophiles: Freak Owls
Freak Owls were introduced to me by Eric Sanderson of We Are Augustines. I had always heard rumours that he was a fantastic producer, but with the exception of his work with his own band I was unaware of anything else Eric had ever worked on. This is why as soon as I saw him …
Audiophiles – Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
When I decided to go legit with Choose My Music and take it off the usual blogging sites to its own beautiful self hosted oasis I did a little market research, checking out small indie blogs from all over the world. One thing I noticed was that a lot of them were featuring a group …
A Very Fake Four Year
As is usual for any music website this time of year I found myself assessing my musical year for 2011, thinking about my favourite albums, singles, videos and music discoveries. What I found was that the majority of my favourite songs of the year came from the New Haven based record label Fake Four. The …
Audiophiles: Hope & Social
I like big music. And the opening of Yorkshire band Hope & Social’s ‘Sleep Sound’ album is a giant. African-esq tribal vocals and brass section all turned up to 11 make it a strong and unique start to any long player I have heard this year. I have often moaned about the UK music scene …
Audiophiles Model Staggs
Being so wrapped up in The State Of Music project means I have been neglecting the UK independent music scene over recent months. So I am aiming to rectify this a little while my American adventure takes a little Christmas break. Model Staggs, a two piece from Cambridge first came to my attention through Recharged …
Audiophiles:Fractures
A lot of people ask me why I don’t spend more time focusing on British music, seeing as that is where this website is based. Well there are two main reasons. Often I have found some British bands a little above themselves, often neglecting to respond to emails, refusing interviews or just generally being awkward …
