We cut through the hype and give the one thing lacking in so many places these days: an honest opinion. We're not going to put something down for the sake of it either. For an honest outlook on music (and other subjects), you're in the right place!
Lots more lovely new videos for you fine folks this week, so rather than waste time, let’s dive right in!
First up we’ve got folk songstress Laura Marling with Devil’s Spoke. Set to be released in March this will be the first track from her new album so check it out to get a flavour of what to expect.
Next up are Pendulum, not a lot to say about this one besides that it’s a preview video featuring some impressive new material from their forthcoming album.
We reviewed Life We Live last week, but the track is out today and as we enjoed it so much, we thought we’d share the video with you. Check it out and then follow up on checking out the guys who wrote it, Let’s Go To War are gonna be big – and you heard it here first!
Another track we really enjoyed and featured in last week’s singles corner was Like Home by Musee Mecanique, so while we’re at it, why don’t we check out their video too?
Last, but not least we’ve got Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip with possibly their best track yet, Get Better. It’s a cracking tune and though it isn’t released for over a month we couldn’t resist sharing it with you!
One of the defining highlights of last summer’s festival circuit, Pendulum completed 2008 with a sold-out tour that saw them play to a combined audience of over 50,000 people. Now Pendulum can confirm the June 15th release of their ‘Live At Brixton Academy’ DVD that offers an irresistible monument for fans eager to relive the glorious chaos of the Pendulum live experience.
Recorded at Brixton Academy on December 4th and 5th 2008, the DVD highlights a full live set directed by Paul Caslin. Caslin was recently nominated for a Grammy in the Long Form Music Video category for his work on Rihanna’s ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ DVD release. An added feature in the shape of an eighty minute audio CD of the Brixton gigs makes for an essential purchase for Pendulum’s devoted and ever growing fan base.
‘Live At Brixton Academy’ features scintillating performances of Pendulum’s biggest hits and killer tracks to date including ‘Showdown’, ‘Propane Nightmares’, ‘Granite’, ‘Slam’ and ‘Another Planet’. The DVD also features Pendulum’s explosive interpretation of The Prodigy’s 1994 cult hit ‘Voodoo People’ and their incendiary take on the Metallica classic ‘Master of Puppets’.
Aside from the standard DVD / CD release, ‘Live At Brixton Academy’ will be also be available as a single DVD / deluxe double CD package that will be sold exclusively through www.pendulum.com as well as an iTunes exclusive format. Further details of both the deluxe version and the iTunes format of ‘Live At Brixton’ will be announced imminently.
