IN THE CITY // Frightened Rabbit
Last Wednesday , Glasgow natives, Frightened Rabbit graced the stage of the Empire and put on a solid show. Belfast being the last show on their UK tour, they said other than home, Belfast was one of their favorite places to play. They opened for Death Cab for Cutie almost 3 years ago, in St George's Market, and received a warm welcome, which apparently keeps them coming back.

Six Star Hotel - Album review
The first time I saw the Belfast based band Six Star Hotel was in the upstairs room of a grotty, rock and roll pub somewhere in South London. My mate Chris and I were trying out a project called Acoustic Bullet Records, looking at signing our first band. Now I have seen a fair few bands perform live in my time, some of which were pretty memorable, this was one of those times. Ok so it wasn't U2 at Wembley Stadium, the Chillies at Hyde Park or Radiohead in Earls Court but there was something about that night that made me remember. The raw energy, the cutting guitars and David Clements amazing vocals, here were a band creating something far beyond their years. Sign this band? Who were we trying to kid.

Explosions in the sky
I love going to live shows. There's something thrilling about seeing a band live. Especially when that band is epic. Epic like Explosions in the Sky. They're an instrumental band from Texas, USA, and, man, I thought their albums were epic...right, if you have spotify (which i love...) search Explosions in the Sky and listen to the album ‘The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place’ as you read this.

Heaven
Music video by the acclaimed director Spike Jonze for the track Heaven by the great band UNKLE. When we saw this for the first time we just couldn't resist. It was quickly dispatched via e-mail to all who would listen. It's got to be one of the best music videos out there.
