The song is, of course, an encouragement footie tune for
their country. Yes, the kid in the photo is Stuart Murdoch.

dance too before, halfway, and after the game.

Band: SWIM DEEP
Who: English indie pop
stars from Birmingham.

Track: YOU, ME AND MARY
New song from their upcoming 5th LP,
baptized Hum. Out June 19th.

Austin Williams (vocalist/songwriter): “It’s about my incredible wife and daughter.
During a family holiday, my wife suffered a miscarriage, which was deeply traumatic
for us in many ways.”

“It made us reflect on whether ‘you, me, and Mary’ was the family we had been blessed with, and we found a great deal of comfort and gratitude in that. Just a week ago, we welcomed our second child into the world, so with the song coming out now, it feels like a real full-circle moment.

TUTV: Deep-felt family emotions wrapped in a majestic synth-pop melody, with
velvety vocals accentuating the romantic radiation of this bittersweet symphony.

The New Yorker said: “It’s a foot-tapping, hip-shaking ride from start to finish.

ballads.”

Oops… WEEZER Cancelled

Posted on by JL

Fab veteran rockers WEEZER had a residency planned in Broadway Theatre
in September. Just now came the news that the 5 shows are canceled due to
poor ticket sales. I’m sure the band didn’t see that coming.

Frontman Rivers Cuomo issued this statement.

“I just learned that our Broadway shows have been canceled (due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses.) I’m very sorry to be telling you this now after we’ve already invested so much time, thought, and emotion. Extra apologies to those of you who cleared
your schedules and made travel plans to be with us. Thanks to @Broadway Producer for all your hard work and great ideas. I loved where we were going and I hope we can find a way
to resurrect our vision.”

Their fans: Say It Ain’t So

Maybe, instead, they can enjoy their hashpipe again.
