Download: Bombay Bicycle Club – Video Games (Lana Del Ray Cover)
It’s a faithful rendition, with plucked acoustic guitar replacing the swathes of strings on the original. Jack Steadman’s voice sounds brilliant and is complimented by Lucy Rose.
Listen: Coldplay – Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
Coldplay are back and the word is they’ve gone a bit ‘ravey’. Listen to their epic new single here.
Introducing… Young Empires
After their whistlestop European tour we let you in on Toronto’s best kept secret: the mightiest musical magpies of the last decade have arrived.
Album Review – Ellie Goulding
The Drums are Hip Hop. KT Tunstall is Alternative. We Are Scientists are World Music and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are, get this, Electronica. These are just a number of the many anomalies residing in my iTunes library, and although the imagination runs wild at what these proclamations could offer, they are [...]
Live review – Little Comets, Goldhawks, Mirrors
HMV Next Big Thing, The Borderline, 9th Feb Towards the end of each year most industry folk will, if pushed, compile a list of 10 or so acts they feel will rise above the quagmire of musical hopefuls to become household names. Overlooking the fact that they are a few months behind the pack, music [...]
Album review – Andy Lehman & The Night Moves
Despite Green Day’s American Idiot launching the concept album back into the public consciousness in 2004 they are, by definition, a tricky thing. Often found to crumble under the weight of their own self importance (almost anything by The Mars Volta) or quickly fall from the path of the over-riding theme (Sgt Pepper), it is [...]

At the beginning of January, Q Magazine’s editor wrote a gushing review of Midlake’s new album The Courage of Others. This week, national newspaper The Independent gave it a rare five stars and The Guardian gave it four. I’ve been in possession of this record for nearly a month now, so it is by no [...]
Cold War Kids – Audience
Don’t you just love it when a band come along and make your day? Cold War Kids seem to have become experts at it. I had the privilege of seeing this band in a small venue in Bristol before even their debut album had come out and it was, at the time, one of the [...]
You May Have Missed…
In yet another new soon-to-be regular item, When The Gramophone Rings will be introducing you to a number of albums that, for whatever reason, remain criminally over-looked. There may be contentions, yes. There may be albums that you feel aren’t worthy of being given a second life or a disagreement over just how overlooked it [...]
Album Review – MuteMath
MuteMath – Armistice MuteMath albums sure don’t come easily. The release of their 2006 debut was masked by lengthy spells of litigation with their label, Warner Bros. In short, the band claimed that the music giants were not fulfilling what was promised in their contract, and therefore proceeded to press on and release the album [...]
