Euro symphonic metal band Delain are set to release a special CD at the end of spring 2013. ‘Interlude’ rounds up various leftover tracks, remixes and live recordings in one easy package. It marks the first time the band’s version of the Bronski Beat hit ‘Smalltown Boy’ has been issued on CD, having only ever been available as a free download previously.
Bob Mould announces four UK shows
Following last year’s ‘Copper Blue’ performances, Bob Mould is to return to the UK later in 2013. As part of the ongoing promotion for his ‘Silver Age’ release, the ex-Husker Du/Sugar man has scheduled four UK shows, as follows:
BROCKLEY FOREST – Brockley Forest EP
Whether it involves cranking out sweaty rockers like The Dead Exs or tackling tunes with a much more panoramic (and perhaps more commercial) feel as per The Black Keys, the stripped back nature of the blues duo comes with a surprising amount of musical mileage. With relatively no time for fancy flourishes, the garage blues genre is often – although not entirely – reliant on a sense grit to make the songs stand proud…and when it comes to grit, there’s plenty to be found on this debut EP by Brockley Forest.
