New Found Glory to play London Forum
New Found Glory are to play the London Forum on Saturday 30th May.
Pop-punk’s reigning champs, New Found Glory, come out swinging on their hotly anticipated new album, Not Without A Fight, due March 9th on Epitaph Records.
Defending their title against any and all contenders, the platinum-selling group’s sixth studio album delivers a one-two knockout with fist-pumping hooks and catchy sing-along choruses.
Working with producer Mark Hoppus (Motion City Soundtrack, The Matches) and mixer Neil Avron (Fall Out Boy) in their corner, NFG prove that challengers don’t stand a chance.
Black Crowes date moves to Brixton Academy
Due to unprecedented interest from their British fans, the Black Crowes one off show scheduled for Sunday 17th May, has been moved to the O2 Academy Brixton.
Right from their start in 1990—with their six million-selling Shake Your Money Maker, a pivotal work that kick started an authentic style of rock and roll in America—The Black Crowes have been at odds with prevailing commercial trends. Their heady mix of '70s inflected rock, Funkadelic soul and heartfelt roots music jostled against the hair metal and high-gloss pop getting airplay at the start of that decade. While the sheer attitude and charm of "Hard To Handle," 'Jealous Again,' "Twice As Hard" and 'Remedy' managed to make big waves, the intervening years have seen the band steadily evolve an increasingly refined, singular sound that takes the best parts of hard rock, gospel, country, psychedelia and anything else it fancies into their hungry maw to create something several light years beyond the young men who recorded "She Talks To Angels."
Having been hailed by Melody Maker as 'The Most Rock and Roll Band In The World’ it is hardly surprising that their seventh studio album Warpaint released in March of last year, reached top 5 status on the US Billboard 200. Their powerful new album--the first on the band's own Silver Arrow Records, builds compellingly on the band’s trademark adventurous brew of rock, blues, country, soul and gospel, and finds the band in top fighting form.
Today, anyone checking in will find The Black Crowes more dedicated than ever to their craft which has resulted with sales of 20 million albums worldwide. They’re not only a band with something to say; they have become known as one of rock’s best live acts and have been called a 'thoroughbred American rock 'n’ freakin’ roll band.' Their panoramic live shows feature alternating set lists and signature incendiary musical explorations that are designed to take audiences on a journey. Make sure you don’t miss what is sure to be one of the highlights of 2009 Rock ’n’ Roll calendar.
