Oh look! It’s the best band in Britain slipping out a cheeky single in between albums. The more ‘mature’ sound hints at the direction of the reportedly keyboard-laden new album. First time round it’s not got the immediate punch of their previous efforts but it soon enough creeps under your skin.
Handheld computing, once limited to the realm of fiction or failure, is finally catching up with the times. Read More
“We need those violent outbursts to be creative!”
Brouhaha spoke to Richard Boardman, the synthman from dance-electro outfit Delphic about their upcoming show in Hong Kong as well as their stage sharing friends, Two Door Cinema Club and we even told him how boring Singapore is! Hooray! Read More
“We don’t want to go to Hong Kong just to play to English speakers!”
Brouhaha spoke to Sam, guitarist and vocals from Irish indie-pop-rockers Two Door Cinema Club as he waits to board on one of many planes at Geneva Airport. Sam has been on many planes recently due to touring. Read More
The National have never been an ‘instant’ band. Their albums rarely contain a hook that grabs you and has you whistling it all day. No, they’re cleverer than that. Read More

Had Justice’s 2007 album Cross not been so good, no one would remember the then 19 year old Uffie who contributed sassy vocals to ‘Tthhee Ppaarrttyy’. Read More
Arcade Fire are back and they’re good again! The Canadian orchestral rock band struck gold with 2005’s Funeral but lost their way with the dull and uninspired followup, Neon Bible. New album Suburbs takes them back to what they do best: dark-tinged, huge, exciting and emotive songs full of giddy glee. ‘Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) is one of many highlights.
Morcheeba are one of the stately royals of down-tempo music. If you know them, expect the usual lustfully sensual vocals over smooth music, this time with a pinch of the Old West. These ten tunes will accommodate any scorching sunny day; fit for sweat and a cool beverage as the enchanting voice massages you into a state of relaxation. Read More
Outside of their music, US indie toetappers We Are Scientists are the funniest men in rock – seek out their blogs, columns and videos posthaste. Inside their music, they are on album three of catchy danceable tunes full of introspective lyrics of missed lessons and excess. Barbara walks that familiar path but the hook-laden ‘Rules Don’t Stop’ and the raw fist-pumping ‘Jack and Ginger’ prove the formula’s not tired just yet.
