The Lazarus Plot

Just got another review published by the folks at the Sonic Dice site.

This time its a single review from indie crossover newcomers, The Lazarus Plot.

To read the review go HERE, and to check out the other reviews i've done for them go HERE.

Drum + Bass (In Your Face)

Really been feeling my Drum + Bass lately, particuarly these two tracks. The only problem with D+B is that there seems to be a lack of blogs out there that cover the genre, therefore a lack of tracks that appear for download. So until these two are released officially you'll have to do with streaming them on their respective myspace pages.

First up its DJ Hazard with "Machete". This such a killer of a track that would just rip up any dancefloor! DJ Hazard Myspace

Then theres's SubFocus with "Timewarp", another really heavy piece of music from Andy C's RAM Records based artist. SubFocus Myspace

New Wave Of Music #19

Another week, another bag of juicy new tunes for your listening pleasure. Get your ears round these!

MP3: Dead Prez - Bigger Than Hip Hop (Ghetto House Remix)
The original hip hop tune was massive, so any remixing of it is pretty dangerous, however Ghetto House soup it up and prime it for the dance floor pretty well. Dead Prez



MP3: Black Kids - Hurricane Jane
First single "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance" was a well received chart hit, however its this new track which encourages me that Black Kids have more to offer. Its a real grower for sure. Black Kids



MP3: Pendulum - Propane Nightmares
Pendulum's new album "In Silico" has divided opinions, its more diverse then their debut release, encompassing more Rock elements which seem to alienate the D+B contingent. It works for me though! Pendulum


MP3: Buy Now - Body Crash
Out on the 23rd June, "Body Crash" is a wicked tune from an artist called Buy Now. B.N are two parts of Swedish House Mafia (Steve Angello + Sebastian Ingrosso), who create a crunchy heavy house track that is both accessible and edgy. Buy Now



MP3: Coldplay - Violet Hill
Coldplay have always been a guilty pleasure of mine, and although taking a few spins, new track "Violet Hill" is another piece of music that my ears are drawn towards. Its a slightly different direction for the band. Coldplay


MP3: Big Boi feat. Andre 3000 And Raekwon - Royal Flush
Check out this fresh sounding slice of Hip Hop from Outkast duo Big Boi and Andre 3000. The beat is old skool, but the lyrics are current and cutting. Big Boi

Justice - Stress

Awesome video for the Justice song "Stress". Its directed by Romain-Gavras.

Check it out its really good.

New Wave Of Music #18

So from the tracks on offer in this post, you might assume that Music Liberation has gone all Electronic on you. And you'd be right. However in the near future there will be a similar post on some wicked new Rock tunes i've been digging lately, so it all evens out! I've also really been into my Drum + Bass lately, so expect a post along those lines pretty soon. As always, turn it up and enjoy!

MP3: Lillica Libertine - Britney Spears (Demo)
As far as i'm aware this track has nothing to do with Miss Spears, unless you listen to it whilst pummelling her face in. This tune is absolutely mental, big heavy bassline, distorted samples and beats, and it justs keeps going. HUGE! Lillica Libertine






MP3: Audio Bullys - Gimme That Punk
Only heard this recently but instantly fell in love with it. Its a total mashup of vocal samples, beats, riffs, anything and everything basically. Seems like a triumphant return to form for A B. Audio Bullys




MP3: The Presets - This Boy's In Love (Lifelike Remix)
Credit must go to ML contributor Craig Duranti for his heads up on this one. It took a few spins for me to really get it, but its an absolute stormer. I imagine it would create a real hands in the air moment during any set. The Presets / Lifelike / Craig Duranti





MP3: Mystery Jets - Hideaway (Switch Remix)
Introduced to this track through Craig's wicked feature on the latest Music Liberation podcast. It seems almost everything Switch puts his hands to he turns into a classic including this one. Mystery Jets / Switch

MP3: Lethal Bizzle - Keys To The Bentley
New material from Lethal B, its pure Grime! Definately a direction I hope he follows, after his more commercial sounding latest album "Back To Bizznizz". I'm also still not sure on that Gallows collaberation either. (Sorry for the Mix Rip into Wiley) Lethal Bizzle

MP3: Guillemots - Falling Out Of Reach
After all those monsters, chill out with this new one from the Guillemots latest album "Red". Totally stripped down compared to first single "Get Over It", this one shows another side to the band, and clearly demostrates their obvious quality. Guillemots

New Wave Of Music #17

Haven't done one of these posts for a little while, not really sure why, guess its cos i've been busy with other things. Anyway these are some fresh new tunes i've been enjoying of late. What do you think???

MP3: SebastiAn - Dog

Heard this track a few weeks ago, its absolutley mental! Fuses Metal with House music into a terrifying noise onslaught that will kill your ears. Its dangerous and I love it! www.myspace.com/0sebastian0

MP3: Busta Rhymes - Don't Touch Me Now (Throw Da Water On Em)

This is the lead single from the new Busta album titled "Blessed" which comes out in June. Its high tempo hip hop from a man with something to prove. http://www.bustarhymes.com/

MP3: Black Tide - Shockwave

New young Metal band from Miami, Florida. Think Metallica meets Iron Maiden meets AC/DC. This single is released on 19th May on Interscope. http://www.blacktidemusic.com/

MP3: Rusko - Cockney Thug

Check out this nice slice of Dubstep from London based artist Rusko. Also hit up his myspace and listen to the Roy Walker influenced track "Mr Chips". http://www.ruskonfire.com/

MP3: These New Puritans - Swords Of Truth

So can anyone guess which track the guys in These New Puritans may have been listening to when they put this track together? hmmmmm. www.myspace.com/thesenewpuritans

MP3: AC/DC - Thunderstruck (Crookers Remix)

What happens when you combine two awesome artists from two different genres? This track I guess. Its very much a Crookers track but i like the interpretation they've put on the song. AC/DC / Crookers

Just a little heads up, the April episode of the Music Liberation podcast will be available next week on Wednesday 30th April. Once again it will feature some of the best in new and unsigned music from around the world, and hopefully we might an exclusive for you!

Stars And Sons - The Goat Show EP

I recently received an E.P titled "The Goat Show", from the masked up band you see before you, Stars And Sons. There's a generous seven tracks on offer from this E.P, and surprisingly there's not a dud to be found. This is definitely one of the most exciting and polished cd's I have been sent not only this year, but since the existence of this blog.

The band blend infectious pop sensibilities and melodies, with gorgeous sweeping guitars, piano, harmonies, drums, and everything else that's going on. The music sounds really tight with everything seeming to hit the right note. There's a lot of diversity within these seven tracks, with the band experimenting with different styles and ideas. This is something which is really refreshing, particularly with the current stagnant manufactured pop scene that any commercial radio station will subject you to.

Stars And Sons offer another way to think about and listen to pop music.

Check out the bands myspace and also check out a couple of songs below.

MP3: Stars And Sons - Out Of View
