The theft occurred on 16th October 2021 whilst the singer’s tour van was parked at Wembley Travelodge car park over the weekend. The singer was in London for a gig at Electric Ballroom in Camden on Friday 15th October 2021. The perpetrators have stolen 13 items of equipment from the van including two Fender guitars and a custom-made kick drum that bears the singer-songwriter’s name.

The Dublin born singer-songwriter first gained popularity from her YouTube channel where she posted performances of cover songs. Gartland’s music has been identified within the genre of folk music, the singer has cited Joni Mitchell as her influence. Her first EP entitled Laughing at My Own Jokes was released in August 2011. However, Gartland’s first official EP is often regarded as Roots.

The artist’s EP, Roots, was released on 11th November 2013 to great critical acclaim. The release reached the top of the Irish album charts and reached number fifteen within the UK album charts. The four-track EP’s title track “Roots” became Apple iTunes Single of The Week within the UK and Ireland. The singer’s next EP, Lonely People, was released on 18th January 2015, the release incorporated funk styles into Gartland’s trademark folk-pop sound. The singer has released two more Eps, Why Am I like This? and Freckle Season before her debut album.

Gartland’s first studio album, Woman on the Internet, was released on 20th August 2021 and has sired three singles. The first single, “Pretending” was released on 16th October 2020. The album’s second single entitled “More Like You” was released on 13th January 2021, the track explores themes of jealously and identity. The third single taken from the debut album, “Zombie!” was released on 13th April 2021 and discussed toxic masculinity within society. Within the latest single, Gartland worked with producer Pete Robertson. Robertson is known for his work with singer-songwriter beabadoobee and indie rockers The Vaccines.

The artist has just finished eight UK performances, the singer embarked on tour earlier this month in support of her debut album. The singer-songwriter began the UK leg of her tour on 6th October in Bristol and finished with a performance in Brighton on 17th October. Gartland will be hitting the road again on 16th December with three performances in Ireland. In Spring next year Gartland will begin the European leg of her tour. Starting on 6th April, the singer will perform in twelve European cities.

The new release “Again Again” “is about trying to personify the intensity and rush of life’s excesses. Accepting the inevitability of it and the hatred in being boring. It’s one of the last songs I wrote for the new album, ruminating on my teenage years” explains Camamile. 

Homesick is due on 14th January and can be pre-ordered here. It’s the band’ long-awaited release after their latest debut album from 2020, Open Your Head. It tackled some heavyweight themes like mental health and drugs and it received great critical praise. 

The Guardian in their review said about the album: “by using old tools and well-worn paths they’ve managed, rather impressively, to capture something of the strange, stultifying state of contemporary youth“. The Edge in their four-star review said: “Open Up Your Head showcases all of the bands potential and overall it is an exciting and engaging project“. NME added: “it is an accomplished debut that takes Sea Girls’ brand of indie-rock on countless new adventures, and leaves plenty of doors ajar for further exploration for a genre in dire need of a kick up the backside.“

The new album has been recorded during the pandemic therefore similar themes are expected. “I thought a lot about mortality and dying – what it means to be alive and how lucky we are. All the songs came after the pandemic started, so thematically it intensified things” Camamile told NME. 

He added “We’re moving on and we’re bringing something different. We could have made the first album again but we didn’t. We were really ruthless, we skimmed out any excess. It’s better than the first record and we feel so proud of it.”

Sea Girls are in the middle of their tour and will be playing tonight (15th October) at the O2 Academy Brixton in London.

Sat here writing this ahead of playing our biggest UK headline show at @O2academybrix tonight is an incredible feeling. Been an amazing few weeks reconnecting with so many of you at these gigs

Their six studio albums cover a range of emotions and directions, which has been a force for growth in the past. As some of their albums reach their 10-year anniversary, it is brilliant to see a band so fuelled by the passion that made them approach new music this year. Touring alongside huge metal acts like Asking Alexandria, While She Sleeps, and many more. With all this behind them, they are ready for their next step.

Now with the new self-titled album on its way we see them return to their roots with gut blasting singles. The latest track, “Rainbow Veins”, approaches the same level of manic musicality that they have proposed in the past. Having not released an album since 2018, it is possible that lockdown had its influence on the anger behind these tracks. With the news that the album release date pushed back until November 5th, due to COVID-related manufacturing delays, the excitement for this record is growing to new heights thanks to “Rainbow Veins”. Bullet debuted the single “Knives” at Download Pilot this year, followed by “Parasite” and “Shatter”. Bullet For My Valentine prepare people for their heaviest album in years, and possibly ever? Clearly, something is afoot because the video for this song is seriously brutal.

Bullet For My Valentine is setting out on a short UK tour this November. Thankfully unaffected by the album-released change, the tour will kick off in Nottingham with much success. You can find the closed show you below, and be sure to snap those tickets up soon because this is one tour you won’t want to miss.

A post shared by The Orb (@theorblive)

Former Glastonbury headliners will return to the live stage as ‘Le Petit Orb’, a pared-back version of their live act. LPO as per press is a “2 piece that takes the orb into places other orbs can’t reach . Into lectures & funny hat competitions with saucy music from the future”.

Alex Paterson, the founder of The Orb has been trying to find a way to connect to fans and perform live during the pandemic. In March this year, he launched a new music label Obscure Records, a place for new music from around the world. “The name is a play on the Obscure label Eno set up on Editions EG in the 1970s. Orbs Cure. Clever parrot-Orbscure! Orbscure! Orbs Cure for all ills. Orbs Cure made 2 chill”- commented Paterson on the label name.  

The first release under the new label was The Heavens released on 28th May, a collab from Paterson and original The Orb member, Andy Falconer (aka Sedibus). “Organic in feel and clearly referencing our shared roots, The Heavens is an immersive journey of ambient electronica which not only references a source, but the distance travelled from that point of origin to something new” explained Falconer.

This year Alex Paterson also released his biography in collaboration with music journalist Kris Needs, titled: “Babble on an’ Ting: Alex Paterson’s Incredible Journey Beyond the Ultraworld with The Orb”. 

“I decided to do a book now as I have reached one full human cycle 60. Also, to tell my side of stories and to set the record straight on planet Orb,” said Patterson. “Working with Kris was seriously brilliant fun. We have been friends and allies for decades now. He’s a beautiful man with a deep knowledge of all things secret and actually lived through some of the stories together”. Get your copy here.

As live performances during the pandemic were on hold, Paterson performed two groundbreaking online holographic shows. 

Enter the Kettle is the upcoming and second album from Paterson and the Orb’s new label. It can be pre-ordered here.

The Orb will play 19 shows across the UK starting on 28th October in Aberdeen. Tickets are available to purchase via the band’s page. Every performance will begin with a Q&A session with Alex Paterson and each ticketholder will have a chance to vote for tracks to be performed during shows.

The video for “Middle Of The Lake” was filmed in Esterel, just outside Montreal. As per the press statement, the track “sets the stage for a record full of revelations – both light and dark – and chronicles Wainwright’s personal journey over the last few years as she finds a way to move forward after a painful divorce“.

Wainwright explained that the song has been “Inspired by a strange covid summer morning at a surreal lake house in the Laurentians when I was stuck in a canoe in the reeds alone and happy. I knew that I would be back on stage again singing at some point and that that was the thing that would save my life. On this song me and the band are dancing, moving and flying through the uncertainty, but then landing together safe and sound”.

The song is the first one on the record, but the last one written by the singer. Watch the video for “Middle Of The Lake” below.

The singer spoke recently about her painful divorce and depression that prevented her from composing new music. “This record is obviously a reflection on that, but also clearly a new beginning and a new era. And there’s a new relationship, which was very much unexpected and very different. And I never would have expected anything as romantic or as overwhelmingly powerful” she said in an interview with Pastemagazine. “I’m really relieved, also, becasue without that, the record would have been a lt darker, And depressing. And sort of … plaqued” – she continues.

Wainwright also shared that a lot of her songs are autobiographical and “a lot of them have to do with being worthy or accepted or loved (…) and motherhood too, of course“.

The singer will embark on a UK tour this Autumn. Full info about the dates, venues and tickets can be found in the recent Mxdwn article. Please note, as the London show has been sold out, an extra date has been added:

21/09/21 – Union Chapel – London

The Darkness’ vocalist Justin Hawkins commented on the single: “‘Motorheart’ rocks harder than anything we’ve done before. It makes me happy and proud to crank it up and literally shake my Swiss chalet to its foundations. Dan did an awesome job on the production, it’ll take your face off, but your skull will be grinning from meatus to meatus. Please, to enjoy”.

Happy first #Anniversary to #MadeOfRain…and what a strange year it’s been! #PFurs https://t.co/selKrq8an1 pic.twitter.com/UP4fTkWbaZ

— The Psychedelic Furs (@pfurs) July 31, 2021

The latest release from the alt-rock legends “continue to create seamless soundscapes, with tremendous swooning melodies and their trademark aggression“. “‘Made of Rain’ is unbroken, dignified and hearty, like a nicely aged whiskey. Its uniform sound has its peaks and depths but illustrates their originality and untamed creativity”. See the full mxdwn review here.

The album has been released after 30 years of silence, the “World Outside” came out in 1991. In the meantime, the band continued performing and “playing acclaimed shows at The Hollywood Bowl, All Points East, Hyde Park and Benicàssim, plus a celebrated run of UK shows including headlining Robert Smith’s Meltdown at the Royal Festival Hall. Most recently, the band performed a sell-out tour of the UK and Europe which culminated in a triumphant show at the Roundhouse in London“.

The latest release has been produced by Richard Fortus and the mixing was done by Tim Palmer who worked with David Bowie, U2 and Robert Plant. The “Made Of Rain” album can be streamed via various music platforms and purchased on Vinyl or CD here.

The band will play seven shows across the UK, throughout September and October including their highly anticipated debut at The Royal Albert Hall on 3rd October.

The new single “is a playful song that’s brimming with joy. The song serves as the emotional flip side to previous song “Falaise de Malaise”, a song steeped in despair and sadness, the storm to the sunshine” shares the press release. The last single was written and sung in ‘Franglais’ (a mix of English and French). The singer said at that time: “I’ve always sung in French (Piaf record and various covers..) but this is the first time I’ve allowed myself to compose in it”. 

Listen to and watch the video for “Hole In My Heart” below.

Like many records this year, Wainwright’s upcoming release has been produced during a global pandemic and recorded in the singer’s hometown, Montreal. Records were made in the basement of her cafe, which also serves as a studio.
The singer has recently been added to the Best Albums Of 2021 by HMV. She reached the Top 10 alongside Lorde, Jungle, Chvrches, Jake Bugg, Maisie Peters, Bleachers, Deafheaven, Jade Bird and Mr Jukes & Barney Artist.

DMA’s supposed to perform at the cancelled UK Festivals: Kendall Calling and Y-Not. They will now be performing at closed indoor venues.
“We’re gutted that we aren’t able to come over and play the UK this summer. We’d been trying to make it work and were all ready to go, but the recent festival situation means it’s no longer feasible” the band previously shared in a statement.

Adding “We really appreciate some of you have been holding tickets for well over a year, and we hope you agree that rather than wait yet another year we move the summer headline shows onto our autumn tour and into some great indoor venues. This way we get to see you a whole lot sooner! Thank you for your patience and we can’t wait to get over in October“.

We’ll be playing all the classic tunes plus something new for the mosh pit to bounce too. So come join us for the biggest party of 2021! See you there.”

The tour will be the band’s first since former lead vocalist Tom Meighan stepped down due to personal issues; guitarist Sergio Pizzorno will be assuming the role of frontman in his absence. Meighan was asked to leave the band last year after he faced a charge of alleged assault against his former partner. Kasabian’s remaining band members said in a statement at the time: “No one in the band wanted this to happen. We have all worked so hard for the past 23 years and had big plans for our future together. We’re completely heartbroken. But we were left with no choice but to ask Tom to leave the band. There is absolutely no way we can condone his assault conviction. Domestic violence and abuse of any kind is totally unacceptable.”

The Leicester indie-rock band, originally called Saracuse, formed in 1998. Their 2006 album ‘Empire’ reached UK Number 1 following the departure of guitarist Chris Karloff and, unbeknownst to them, was the beginning of their spot at the top. Racking up several esteemed awards across their time in the music industry, Kasabian were the true winners of the 00s indie scene when they were invited on Oasis’ last world tour in 2009, opening their shows at several venues across Europe. In 2019, Pizzorno collaborated with slowthai and Little Simz on his debut solo project, ‘The SLP,’ which charted at Number 7 in the UK.

Tickets will be available via  pre-sale on 02 June 2021 and will be on general sale 04 June 2021.
