Bits and bobs from here and there...

Coldplay have announced the title of their new album, called Viva la Vida due for release on June 16th in Europe and a day later in America. Produced by Brian Eno (who wrote the windows opening music, true story), the band are said to have taken a "new direction with some great songwriting". Where've I heard a band say that about their new album before? Oh yeah, every band ever. Anyways, I can't wait and hope this year will be the year I finally catch them.



Also, released this week was Iwasacubscout's impressive debut I Want You To Know There Is Always Hope. The album is full on pop rock but possesses a certain charm that Scouting For Girl's try so hard to attain. The lyrics are to be taken at face value that's for sure but lead off track Save Your Wishes sets the tone for a perfectly enjoyable album.

In addition, Cassius was released on monday following Foals incredible show on Sunday at Concorde 2 in Brighton in which I was at attendance, review of the beauty to follow shortly. Antidotes is released Monday and I'm hoping for big things for this band but we'll see.


I also intend to do a catch up of SXSW but i'm hitting the studio for a couple of days solid so we'll see. In the meantime, i can't stress enough how much you should find the new Pendulum song and check it out, if you need a link, give me a holla.
