Podcast :: Under The Bridge – Episode 2: Real Idiots Caught On iTunes

“If You Don’t Like James Brown, You Should Fuck Off” – Ian Critchley

We’re back for a second episode. That’s right, we didn’t get canceled and Paul still hasn’t chucked us so all is well. This week we’re ‘Real Idiots Caught On iTunes’. We got some beers and a better set up and hopefully this is a little bit more listenable than it’s predecessor.

We’ve tried to tidy up the show a little bit more. We couldn’t help, but give a few more mentions of Frank Turner. This episode was really all about Fake Problems. The, Florida-based, indie-punk foursome provided us with music for this week and we talked up their new album, Real Ghosts Caught On Tape, and their support slot with Gaslight Anthem on their US tour. We also try and find out which new/recent artists we’ll be listening to in 50 years time and discuss the niceness of, Against Me! frontman, Tom Gabel.

We’ve also got a new segment that comes courtesy of, tour manager extraordinaire, John Berna. He’s provided us with some ‘Words Of Wisdom’. Under The Bridge is a podcast you can live your life by. Fact!

Prepare to listen to us getting drunk. Also: We mean “stalk” in the nicest possible, non-creepy, way.

Under The Bridge – Episode 2: Real Idiots Caught On iTunes (Featuring Fake Problems)

As I mentioned, music this week comes courtesy of Fake Problems. Here’s the tracklist for this week:

Sorry, OK, Sorry
Alligator Assassinator
Diamond Rings
Born & Raised
Rumble In The Jungle
Heart BPM

Disclaimer: Apologies to anyone offended by this episode of Under The Bridge (especially you, Chris Farren). Everything said was said in jest and is not meant to be taken seriously. I mean, when do you ever take us seriously and, honestly, why should you? We’ll try and curb the drunkeness, but it’s highly unlikely this show would exist without the help of a few Scrumpy Jack’s. – Barlow x

This week we have an interview with, Far frontman, Jonah Mantranga as our “main topic”. We also discuss the merits of the film ‘Riding In Vans With Boys’. how good Crazy Arm are and stalking Frank Turner.

Promo & Download :: Alexx Chalise – Break Me

Natalie Deans — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:20:21 +0000

A little while back I received an email from a singer/songwriter from all the way across the pond in L.A. That singer was Alexx Calise. She sent me a track from her new album stating that I might like “the esoteric rock/punk styling” of her music. Well, she wasn’t wrong; her mix of rock and electonica is a refreshing mix which works surprisingly well.

A couple of her songs are circulating MTV reality shows and some of those angsty American sitcoms like One Tree Hill. I had a listen a few times and I have to say that I like it. The electronica elements at the start grab my attention and as it goes on I can’t help but nod my head along to it.

So in my opinion we should all listen and pray to whichever deity that we choose that she comes across the water and plays some UK shows for us all.

Promo :: Editors – You Don’t Know Love (Caged Baby Remix)

Paul — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:19:52 +0000

Remember the stir between new and old fans of Editors with the release of In This Light and on This Evening last year? You dedicated, ‘been-with-them-since-the-start’ die-hards screamed ‘incredulous’! Whilst those of you with a more unbiased ear shouted ‘hey! yeah, I like this!…who is this?’. Well, the no-man’s land in Editors’ sound that created the chasm of divide between you all seems to have been filled, strangely enough, by the release of You Don’t Know Love, track four off the aforementioned record on January 25th,

As a freebie, Editors are giving away the sexy jig-along remix by Caged Baby, for free. Can’t say no to that can ya? Download and play to your hearts content below!

We Say Summer… do you?

Ian Critchley — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:33:14 +0000

This is We Say Summer, (the title was a giveaway,) not that they really need any introduction, this 5 piece “musical friendship team,” as they call themselves, have been making so much noise the past 12 months that O.A.P’s all over the U.K have been telling their grandchildren to “turn that racket down,” they must have feedback in their hearing aids, because the music is far from “racket.”

With hooks so big you could catch Moby Dick and live shows tighter than a pair of Speedos on Rick Waller’s stunt double, there’s no wonder that these boys are making a name for themselves in bedrooms and venues all across England and other parts.

Once hailed as one of the top ten pop-punk bands on MySpace (before they fucked up the genres), We Say Summer are gig buddies with all the top UK pop-punk bands, giants such as Saving Aimee, Me Vs. Hero and Not Advised all helping make them household names.

With an up and coming tour (see www.myspace.com/wesaysummer for dates) and a new E.P to be released this summer, the band can only get bigger and better, and with more penis jokes than you can shake, well you get the idea, there is bound to be some fucked up laughs a long the way.

You can download the band’s new track, ‘Good Times and Road Signs’ here

To hear more of We Say Summer and to find out when they’re in a town near you, check out their MySpace. The band’s self titled EP is available on iTunes.

Had Jesus been de-homotised?

Paul — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:19:14 +0000

Is this a modern, cosmopolitan take on a love song? A stinging, satirical stab at society? Or, a bunch of people having a laugh with instruments?

You’ve got to love Iceland’s quirkniess. If you can see these guys there (they rarely tour outside), then do; their live sets are just fantastic.

Free Track:: Moby – One Time We Lived (Matrix & Futurebound Remix)

Rob Walker — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:06:46 +0000

Moby is perhaps best known for soulful, laid-back, slightly depressing tracks – that or his prodigal “Go,” which no doubt contributed to the creation of modern club & rave music alike.

Matrix & Futurebound, producing individually under their corresponding aliases for some years, are already becoming a heavyweight duo in the world of Drum N Bass – even despite their first track together being a remix of Justin Timberlake’s “Lovestoned” – which is quite frankly, horrific. Still, maybe we all have to do something a little cringe-worthy even now and then. Probably.

They really are more of a remix act, but that’s not to say the tracks arn’t original. M&F mix up punchy-as-fuck drums with plenty of melodic, trancey elements, and coupled with a vocal from whatever track they’re remixing, it’s more than likely a quality track. One Time We Lived is no exception, and definately worth a listen. In the grand scheme of things, if you hate it – you didn’t pay for it. Hooray for the Internet!
