The Beach Boys : That’s Why God Made The Radio
0 Comments. 915 Views. Posted 2 May 2012 @ 2:36pm.
  The Beach Boys new album is out now and if the very fact doesn’t blow your mind, try listening to the single. While written and recorded by Brian Wilson, Mike Love et al, That’s Why God Made The Radio has an ersatz Beach Boys flavour, not unlike Kokomo but it fact weirder because at least Kokomo is a now familiar obscenity. There is also a cruising yacht rock vibe that is more '80s than '... Read More

  Sad news for music fans - the 2012 instalment of Good Vibrations has been scrapped. Despite a stellar 2011 lineup, ticket sales were well short of expectations -a fact compunded by the late withdrawals of Cee-Lo Green and Janelle Monae.   The festival initially planned to hold the touring event later in 2012 as opposed to the traditional early-year schedule, but today it has been...

One of the greatest things about a festival line-up being announced is that if you miss an artist on the day, or you decide not to even go to the festival, there's always the opportunity to go and see their sideshow. Right? Wrong! The team at Fuzzy announced today that there'll actually be no sideshows for this year's Parklife festival, with all acts performing exclusively on the tour and that's... Read More

Eagle and the Worm : Too Young
0 Comments. 2,659 Views. Posted 11 May 2011 @ 2:14pm.
Eagle and the Worm have slipped out in front of potential detractors, noting that Too Young “tips the hat” to Pet Sounds and Brian Wilson’s iconic psych pop orchestration. By “tips the hat” they mean emulates, without innovation. I’m not that bothered, really, and I don’t suppose anyone else will be, because they do a beautiful job of mimicking the Beach Boys and Too Young is a lovely, lush,... Read More

What’s your name then? Oh. And the name of your band…   “Nicky Bomba, from Bomba.”   And what do you do?   “I sing, play guitar and drums, have fun with an audience and write songs.
