Two Door Cinema Club Debut Album "Tourist History"

TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE OF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, “TOURIST HISTORY” ON KITSUNE ON MARCH 1ST 2010.
“It’s herky, it’s jerky, it’s mile a minute, it’s everything we love about guitars and boys.” –  NME
Two  Door Cinema Club release their fantastic debut album, “Tourist History” on March 1st 2010 on French label Kitsune. It will be preceded by the single "Undercover Martyn" on 22nd February 2010. The trio from Bangor, Northern Ireland have recently received the auspicious nod from the BBC after being named as one of the fifteen acts on the BBC Soundpoll as well as featuring in numerous end of year tips for 2010. This, coupled with their already strong online following, ensures that “Tourist History” is set to make a big impact. The album is undeniably pop, but draws on disparate elements including electronica/electro, rock and Afro-beats  whilst remaining resolutely fresh and inventive. Pigeon-holing this band will be impossible. Formed at the age of 15, the band now say “We were playing music that we weren’t enjoying, so we said ‘let’s write some songs, without any pretence of what they’ll sound like’. That’s why we find it so hard now if people now ask us what genre we are.” The only constant between songs is the length of them –  short! – redefining short, sharp and sweet. The songs average out at a pop-perfect 3 mins. Says Kev, “We’ve never seen the point of adding something on to make the song longer. Or to cram in lots of songs. We just wanted a really impressive first album, where every song could be someone’s favourite.” Two Door Cinema Club will be touring their new album extensively through 2010, starting with a sold out UK tour and have just added 2 NME Awards Shows with The Maccabees plus a support tour with Phoenix. Having already accumulated nearly a million listens online and being signed to one of the coolest indie labels around, the tour and debut album are sure to propel Two Door Cinema Club firmly into your consciousness. Watch them go....

CHORDS, RIFFS, TABS AND TURN-AROUNDS

Gospel, Jazz, Folk, Country, Rock, Soul, B-Bop, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Punk and Pop, it all came "Out of the Blues" . On the Focus Music page we aim to take a look at the journey popular music has made through the decades with links to influential artists of each era. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and original Blues men including Robert Johnson, Edward Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt made their way north from the American deep South and brought the "Blues" to a wider American audience. This in turn lead to the birth of "Rock and Roll" in the 50s with artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. "The Beatles" were inspired by the great guitar riffs of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Little Richard's soulful sound and "Rhythm and Blues" burst onto the UK music scene in the 60s spawning the "Mersey Beat Sound" and "Beatlemania" and the rest they say is Hi...

Florence + The Machine new single ‘Shake It Out’ out soon

Image
With the excitement surrounding the release on Florence + The Machine’s second album reaching fever pitch, here’s ‘Shake It Out’ - the massive lead single to be taken from ‘Ceremonials’ . Where ‘What The Water Gave Me’ dramatically played out like an ode to the ocean and is magnificent powers, ‘Shake It Out’ incites a desire to jump up and dance fervently, shaking off the shackles of a persistent mood, feeling or indeed hangover, as, she points out, “it’s hard the dance with the devil on your back so shake it out”. It’s classic Florence + The Machine, stirring the soul and senses, urging you to jump feet first into her world. Florence’s No.1 debut album ‘Lungs’ has now sold over 3 millions worldwide turning her into a globally renowned artist. She’s graced the covers of numerous publications across the world and had her music and live performances lauded at awards including the Brits, VMA’s, Q Awards and Grammy’s since its release in June 2009.
