When The Gaslight Anthem first touched down on British soil in the summer of 2008 to play a handful of small club shows they had no idea on what they were about to accomplish in this country within two years.

The four fresh-faced punks born out of New Jersey delighted audiences up and down the country with their brand of soulful, Springsteen-esque punk rock. Read the rest of this entry »

The brains behind Reading and Leeds 2010 have been keeping their powder dry but it’s fair to say they’ve pulled off something of a coup by pairing Guns N Roses with Blink 182 as two of this summer’s headline acts.

Whether Arcade Fire deserve their own top billing is open to debate – yes, we know they’re one of the best bands to emerge from North America for some time but do they really warrant a headline slot on the back of a couple of breakthrough discs?

This week’s top new releases could hardly contrast more sharply as the raw punk rock of Oregon crew Broadway Calls (pictured) goes up against the pretentious folk prog of 40-year-old Brits Strawbs.
