Mumford & Sons robust new album "Babel" released 24th September

Image
“ We wanted to do something unashamed,” says Ben Lovett. “We’re confident and happy to be where we are as a band — everything that’s happened with us has exceeded expectations, and it’s all been a surprise, it’s all much bigger than what we were prepared for. So when we came to recording this record we had a choice: to shy away from that, or to realise that people dig what we’re doing, and make something robust, with that energy . ” It was December 2010, and Mumford and Sons had been on the road since the previous summer: a glorious, eventful, yet relentless time. Standing somewhere between exhilarated and exhausted, the plan now was for the band’s four members to spend a few weeks apart, write, recuperate, and then reconvene in Nashville in the New Year, with the intention of trying out material for their second album. The informality of the set-up in Tennessee perhaps helped to dispel any nerves they may have had about following up 2009’s Sigh No More, an album that had gone four t

Mumford & Sons release their new single, ‘I Will Wait’ on the 24th September 2012. It is the first single to be taken from their second album, Babel, released on the same day. The story of Mumford & Sons has been written and mapped out on the road. Since before the release of 2009’s debut album Sigh No More, the band has rarely been off tour, but the recording of Babel brought them off the road and back into the studio. Many of the songs on the new record found their dynamic through years of tested live performance. ‘Whispers In The Dark’, ‘Lover Of The Light’, ‘Below My Feet’, ‘Lovers’ Eyes’ and ‘Hopeless Wanderer’ might be familiar to fans that have seen the band perform live over the past eighteen months across the world. Babel was produced by Marcus Dravs, a man whom the band trusts to replicate and to understand the importance of live energy as much as they do. In a similar fashion to its predecessor, it is a record that marries the upbeat with the intimate, and the unr

ROBBIE WILLIAMS ABOUT TO “TAKE THE CROWN”. NEW ALBUM & SEPTEMBER SHOW DATES

Image
As Robbie Williams looks to the future with the release of the incredible “Take The Crown”, his ninth studio album and his first for Island/Universal, it might also be interesting to remember his considerable achievements so far. In a career strewn with awards, Robbie has quite simply sold more records than any other British solo artist in history. Having sold a staggering 60 million albums over his solo career, Robbie has also won more Brit awards than any other artist in history ( a grand total of 17, to be precise). Six of his albums appear in the all time top 100 biggest selling albums in the UK whilst Williams appears in the Guinness Book of World Records for selling 1.6 million concert tickets in a day in 2006 . In 2010 Robbie Williams won the Outstanding Contribution to British Music Award at the BRITS; later that year his reformation with Take That led to their album becoming the fastest selling album of the century. Since then Robbie has been working on his brand new solo

Get "Ready to Go"with ‘Lonsdale Boys Club’

With their debut album, Lonsdale Boys Club – Charlie, Topher and Loz – have crafted a set of infectious, summer-tinged pre-made festival anthems. Signed to Gary Barlow’s Future label, they infuse each song with a dash of funkiness, the grit of the UK urban scene, a smattering of their love for all things house, a pinch of roots reggae, plenty of pop nous and of course, a gargantuan hook or twelve. “If we had to pigeon-hole it somehow I'd say it's zesty, sprightly guitar pop with an urban flavour and banging beats,” frontman Charlie says. Pre-Lonsdale Boys Club, the band were scattered across the globe, bassist Topher producing and working various jobs in Australia and Cyprus, Charlie Djing and writing songs for a possible solo career in London and Loz finishing his music studies in Liverpool as well as Djing at various drum n bass nights. Meeting through a mutual guitar teacher who had a studio on west London’s Lonsdale Road, it was only a matter of time before they came to
