It has been announced The Waterboys are to headline the 2014 Chagstock Festival. Mike Scott and his band join previously announced headliners The Selecter at the event held in July.
More information, plus previously announced acts, can be found here. More bands will be confirmed soon.
On the eve of the arrival of ‘Spectres’, UK black metal band BAST have a bunch of gigs confirmed. All dates listed below.
Following the success of ‘Pyromania’, ‘Hysteria’ and ‘Adrenalize’ 2CD deluxe editions, Def Leppard are giving ‘Slang’ similar treatment in February 2014.
Moving away from the band’s signature sound, ‘Slang’ is a “Marmite” album for fans (ie: they either love it or hate it), but despite the mixed response, it still scored the Leps three hit singles in the title track, ‘Promises’ and ‘Work It Out’.
On March 24th 2014, Universal Music will release a deluxe two-disc edition of Status Quo’s 1972 album ‘Piledriver’. Boasting the hit single ‘Paper Plane’, the album cemented Quo’s fascination with the three-chord boogie and became a long-standing fan favourite.
The deluxe edition adds a bonus disc featuring 15 BBC live recordings; seven from two different John Peel sessions between 1972-73, plus an eight song recording for ‘BBC In Concert’ from 1973.
UK rockers The Brew have released a video clip for their current single, ‘Repeat’ (viewable below).
The track is now available as an audio download from iTunes and also featured on their forthcoming album ‘Control’ (produced by Toby Jepson).
