Richard Ashcroft is still fighting over the shares of royalties he paid and is still
paying The Rolling Stones for a sample of an orchestral version of their 1965 hit
‘The Last Time‘ he used for The Verve‘s ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’ back in 1997…
Bitter sweet royalties…
Here’s that orchestral version of The Stones’ ‘The Last Time‘
recorded back then by their manager Andrew Oldham …

Band: RIVER FURY
Who: “A band formed from London’s open mic circuit. Sonically sitting
somewhere between early 90’s grunge, 80’s indie and melodic post-rock,
their breed of anthemic pop rock features elements of math and psych,
and is played with both volume and vitality.”
Track: COMFORT IS BEING FOOLED track from upcoming debut EP
‘Five Year Plan‘. A song about “It’s about being in a loveless relationship,
but rather than going through the pain of a separation, you continue to
lie to yourselves and go through the motions to keep up appearances.”
Score: There are countless ways to ventilate your mixed emotions about an empty relationship. This fresh formed 4-headed bolide does it by turning up the volume of
their instruments and diving into a trembling rocker that blows you off your socks with blustering guitars, impetuous drums/bass dynamism and pondering vocals all over it.

Brand new sonic impulses…
After this year’s widely praised fourth album Beyondless edgy Danish rockers ICEAGE released new song Balm Of Gilead on a split single with Black Lips a few weeks ago and just now they launched another new one. BROKEN HOURS is another emotive doom and gloom contemplation reminding me of the darkest moments of The Afghan Whigs.
Music for confused souls and restless minds. Heavy stuff. Absorb it here…

Band: GRYMM
Who: “An energetic indie-grunge hybrid with all the catchiness of pop, outfit from Brighton. The band creates a cacophony of sound, yet they still intrinsically maintain a strict grip on melody and vocal hooks.”
Pick: BR-EA-THE
Score: Here’s a pitch-black slow burning discharge translating the evil of our media dominated society where it becomes really hard to breathe like a normal, free-thinking human being, into a claustrophobic groove with a petrifying chorus. Its tone is ominous,
its drone is doomy. We definitely need some pure oxygen again. Here’s why…

When exploring hip-hop artist TRICKY covered Nirvana‘s gloomy Nevermind ballad SOMETHING IN THE WAY back in 2001 on his Blowback LP with the vocal help of arresting singer Francesca Belmonte the sombre song turned into a trippy, even
spooky vibration. Get the feeling right here…

Central Virginia’s spirited Americana band of brothers, SONS OF BILL released their newest longplayer Oh God Ma’am last June. A heartwarming work of gratifying romanticism. One of the sensitive beauties on it is EASIER. A tender rumination, a softhearted reflection. Graceful and poetical. Enjoy the sepia colored picture right here.
When you came behind the counter, you moved just like a marionette
Just a fragile apparition of a person that I once met
Seems like the world could see the skeleton beneath the skin
Another puritan who never lost the taste for sin
I always know when you’re in trouble by the color that you dye your hair
And the artificial lenses hiding all the thoughts that got you there
One day, they’ll fall like scales and let the light on through
And it will break my heart to see your brown eyes blue
When all the rain stops rattling the rooftops
After days of waiting for the other shoe to drop
When it’s easier
When it’s easier
Flip off the Zenith if it isn’t living up to its name
We’ll watch September fall to grays and brown and beige
Across the river, they’ll be living out their salad days
Tied to the mast and blowing faster as the chorus waves
When all the rain stops rattling the rooftops
After days of waiting for the other shoe to drop
When it’s easier
When it’s easier
When it’s easier
We won’t mind when it all comes down and the sun goes blind
When it’s easier
They’ll know that we were the vines that held the walls up right
For all this time
When all the rain stops rattling the rooftops
After days of waiting for the other shoe to drop
When it’s easier
When it’s easier
