Videos // Shake Tiger Shake // HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
O come all ye faithful! So, rather than uploading your typical Christmas cover of Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas', we thought we'd kick in some holiday cheer with a musical group that is in no way themed with snow, nativity scenes or the word 'jolly'. (By the way, is 'jolly' a term that can only be used during the Christmas season? It just doesn't sit right outside of December...)

Interviews // The Postelles
Just like their hometown New York City, The Postelles music is loud and vibrant. Their thrashing drums and firm electric guitar strums pumps that good ol' rebellious attitude into your vains. A 'Strokes-ish' sort of sound (not surprising given their artistic producer...), with more wholesome-pop vocals. Similar to these sorts of US artists, their melodies depict a 1950s 'rock 'n roll' influence, catchy tracks with a alternative edge.

Interviews // The Recliners
Kings of Leon, Oasis and triple the fun, Hanson have all proved there's nothing like a bit of brotherly love. And now, it's indie rock newcomers, The Recliners turn to show the music world just what a strong set of genes - along with a couple of other guys - can do.
These boys are young at heart with their 'fuck the system' attitude, but carry an old soul, playing music inspired by Brit Pop from gone-by eras. Their natural rhythm and tin-can sound is reminiscent of the late and great Beatles and the guitar solos spark up 1970s psychedelic nostalgia. The eclectic mix all fits together, bonded by mopey 90s Libertines-style vocals.
Lead guitarist, Stu Farrington sits back, relaxes and reclines with us, sharing his musical passion with Noize.

Introducing // The Kickliner
It’s 10am in Leeds, Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs is in the kitchen making eggs. The peaceful sound of frying is interrupted by his mobile phone – a tinny rendition of “Ruby” belts loudly – smugly humming along he answers it. “Morning Pete Doherty from The Libertines, it’s been a while”. On the other end Pete replies “Yeah, ‘bout nine months actually, Rick...” Pete’s emphasis on nine months unsettles Ricky, he’d feared this moment and panic sets in. His mind races back through the blur that was that night. Drunken innocent fun, he’d told himself, just too much drinking, surely. Even after all this time the memory of glancing back at that hotel bed cramped with several members of The Libertines, Bombay Bicycle Club and Foals played over and over in his mind. Suddenly Pete’s voice snapped Ricky back to reality “Rick, I want you to know I’m keeping it”, Ricky gulped, “And I’m calling it The Kickliner...”

Singles // Syd Arthur // Ode to the Summer
As the strong rock guitar begins at the opening intro of Ode to the Summer, it’s no surprise that Syd Arthur are greatly inspired by the sonic pioneers of the late 60’s and 70’s. Not only in music, this influence clearly continues skin deep as the band members have a faint Terry Nutkins whiff about them. It’s so refreshing to see an artist in today’s world that’s steering away from the modern indie scene and focusing on an organic ‘rock ‘n roll’ style of music.
