sweet chorus
We found the term sweet chorus in 78 articles.
Tunng: Comments of the Inner Chorus
To describe Tunng as folk would be for the large part inaccurate, but they are currently to be found categorised in the nu-folk movement, a genre name that conjures up mental images of ex-Limp Biscuit members Morris Dancing in a bitch slapping manner.
The Sugars: Doo Wop (Sugar So Sweet)
Bands such as Arctic Monkeys may dispute that image isn't everything, and whilst it certainly isn't, it's always good to find a band who, in addition to writing first-rate songs, also have a good ol' bash at looking damned good.
With Fischerspooner and Ladytron trying to reclaim the ground lost in the bloody and pointless electroclash wars, Detroit couple Adult.
Ash's latest single 'End Of The World' is the bands third release from the album 'Twilight Of Innocence'.
In which a 25-year-old sweet and innocent looking gal makes a distinctly sweet and innocent sounding song.
The impact is immediate. As soon as you hear Brooke Dundas' voice you know this girl is something special.
Jupiter and Teardrop: Bring Me Down EP
Jupiter and Teardrop don't reveal whether or not they are named after the song by Grant Lee Buffalo, but there are plenty of similarities in the Americana pop/rock sounds of main man Geoff Martyn's song writing.
The second release from Elbow's second album 'Cast of Thousands'. In Jupp the band have one of the most inventive drummers around at the moment.
Despite obvious youth Kram manage to regurgitate punk metal ideas that have been well worn by bands of the same ilk for the past 20 years.
Sounding about as fresh as a builder's armpit, Nic Armstrong strolls onto the musical scene citing the Beatles as a major influence in his music.
The Polyphonic Spree: Hanging Around
Sounding like a gospel version of Grandaddy vs The Mull Historical Society vs The kids from fame, this is truly bemusing stuff.
Little Barrie are funky... wait wait before you leave in a huff, yes it's a horrible genre funk, virtually a swear word in some circles but sometimes, and not often enough it is done so well you need to take your hat off to it.
Counting Crows: Accidentally In Love
So the story goes, Adam Duritz got a phone call from Dreamworks asking him to write a song for the new Shrek film but with only one remit...
She's Not Dead: Bedtime Stories
Some very accomplished playing, programming and production work lifts this 3 song (2 and 1 remix) CD out of the "ordinary" category, but limitations in the lyrics and overall sound holds it back from moving into the "extra-ordinary" league.
OK, here's a strange one - a CD that comes with a disclaimer! Apparently it's "by no means EP quality and the songs aren't the finished article", but having enjoyed the USA live onslaught, I was keen for a listen all the same.
The back of Gaia's four song demo is adorned with the typically touted quote "...who have defined their own sound" and as with so many before them, Gaia are not something that'll leave you thinking "how revolutionary".
Fulc have been hailed in the national press as one of Britain's 'brightest hopes' and after hearing .Embrace.Destroy.
The Lodger: The Lodger Sings A Demo CD
The Lodger is starting the Britpop revival as of NOW. His lyrics are honest and insecure at times but he ain't no bedroom melancholic, no no.
The Chiara L's, named aptly after front-woman Chiara Lucchini, are a sprightly, naïve, fun, bundle of scratchy guitar pop.
UK five-piece (spunge) are proclaimed as Britain's answer to Less Than Jake, and even scored a top 40 hit with Jump On Demand - the fan's favourite also opens this strong album.
The KBC: Pride Before the Fall
Dance-punk... it's one of those catch-all, media type short-term genres isn't it? You know the score: don't bother with giving some thought to the task you've been set, just dig out some old Shed Seven b-sides (don't get dewy eyed on me now), add a bit of hissing hi-hat and a dollop of white funk bass and the indie disco is your empire.
I deliberately delayed starting this review as the first listen frightened me into the thought that the single El Shake might be too challenging to describe very well, but when I played it today things became distinctly clear...
The Crimea: White Russian Galaxy
The Crimea's debut major label single, "Lottery Winners On Acid", was championed by Zane Lowe and MTV2, and became a minor hit (read: chart disappointment).
Superelectric: E Is For Effort, A Is For Attainment
First off, I like this CD a lot, it's up there with a lot of good CD's, and I really enjoy listening to it.
The opening bars of the mistitled "Orgasm" are beautifully done. A well controlled and very sweet guitar phrase leads into Anthony Slattery's very good vocal delivery on a big open song.
Seemingly bursting out of nowhere from Queens, New York last year with debut 'The Fine Art Of Self Destruction' Jesse Malin won over a legion of fans with his punk-inspired yet, gentle, melodic and lyrically strong songs in the classic songwriter mould.
A real mixed bag here; think maybe "I Should Coco" era Supergrass fused with funky disco, throw in some West Coast summer pop harmonies and sprinkle on some heavy rock riffage.
When a band includes ex members of Guns and Roses and the singer from Stone Temple Pilots it is impossible not to draw comparisons between those bands and the new one those members have formed Velvet Revolver.
The album version of this track has been spiced up with drums, the tempo upped and tinkered with to make it more 'radio friendly' but fortunately that doesn't interfere with the heart of this song.
The Scaramanga Six: Horrible Face
Sweet sounds but with a raw quality, then biting operatic bitter vocals crooning "Where did you get that horrible face?" Then a soaring heartfelt chorus yelping out "You ugly ugly cow!" The Scaramanga Six certainly know how to bend the rules of pop music and when they do it it still create a very successful end product.
Too excitable too soon, my young boys. Puscha's (albeit high-energy thrashing-at-the-bit heavy-breathing) second single gets all hot and bothered before it has anything to show for itself.
With a badly scribbled post-it note as an inlay Pigzipper introduce themselves with little decorum. The same impatience with which they hastily prepared for a review seems to have also influenced the giddy desire to fill out this 10 song album with everything they have ever committed to tape...
Richard Nixon would be proud. At last, something good with his surname. This 3 track EP from Manchester quartet Tricky Nixon is mighty impressive.
There isn't a great deal that inspires on this 5 track EP. Opening song Perfume is about as good as it gets, with what seems to be their big song - it's as watered down as stadium rock gets.
This is fine stuff. Nikoli can stand up with today's best and be counted, measured, weighed and purchased.
One obvious disadvantage of calling yourselves Breakthemould is that reviews of your recorded output are inevitably going to query whether or not you do actually "break the mould" in terms of pushing new musical boundaries.
All Time Low: So Wrong It's Right
If you like your pop-punk to sound just like the early The Starting Line or New Found Glory with a pinch of pre fame Fall Out Boy songs, sweet summary vocals and hooks that could catch Moby Dick, then All Time Low are your new favourite band.
"The first band will start at 8," shouted the manager of the cockpit. Ah good I thought. 8.10 ... 8.20 ...
Sawthroat @ The Albion (Morley)
Tug Ether: Having not heard this band in the past I was quite cynical going into the gig about another alternative band.
In amongst the punks, skaters and frightening ska types in the local scene sit Beautiful Feet, an altogether more relaxed and calming bunch of guys, playing acoustic guitars and singing delicate songs about the brighter things in life.
What we have here are two good voices and one mission to go spaced out and relaxed. Superficially it has Boards of Canada for the underlay and lite nu R&B as the deep pile upholstery.
Saving Lenny: Driven To Distraction
On receiving a lovely 7" sized plastic sleeve I eagerly anticipated the smooth black vinyl slipping out into my hand.
The upstairs room at the Cardigan Arms is a perfect place for an acoustic gig. With its small, dark room, the atmosphere is made even better by the dozen or so candles that are situated around the room, creating a very intimate feel to the whole place.
The Chiara L's kick off tonight's trio of female fronted bands each of whom bring their own distinct style and charisma to proceedings.
Just like the Klaxons themselves, lets make this as short and as sweet as possible. Klaxons are the best new band in the UK right now.
Shallowend: Shining Brighter / Tigers
Back in May last year I reviewed Shallowend's first release "The Waterfall" EP and at the time made the point about the difficulty I faced in being objective in reviewing a band where I new one of the members quite well.
Various Artists: Valentine Records Sampler
As the inlays states this represents a "12 month rollercoaster of learning curves, guitar bashing, synth-thrashing and a 'no safety net' approach" and as with any rollercoaster there are some high and low moments throughout this 10 track offering from one of the countries most promising independents.
Playing acoustic guitar before Jon Gomm must be a rather daunting experience but Tim knocks out quite a strong set of songs with confessional and indeed rather poetic lyrics with fresh sounding strummy guitar.
To release this double A side at any other time of the year than sweltering July would have been highly foolish.
The Like: Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?
The Like are three extremely photogenic waiflike females who make self-confessed indie-pop. Unfortunately, their reliance on their own aesthetic appeal means the actual quality of the music falls by the wayside.
I am loving the whole boy/girl vocal trend that seems to be kicking off at the moment. The Subways, Young Heart Attack, The Raveonettes all get the thumbs up from me for proving that rock 'n' roll is not gendered.
Various Artists: Across The Pennines VI
The heightened sense of regional pride in The North can become a bit absurd sometimes. Then again, on the strength of the deeply Northern music on the sixth Across the Pennines compilation, perhaps a little superiority complex is allowed.
Def Leppard: Songs From The Sparkle Lounge
For over 25 years Def Leppard have been one of the UK's biggest rock bands, selling over 30 million records worldwide.
"Send in the cavalry from up above" request Australians Heather Barnes and Gareth Hudson of The Good.
Outsider (Midlands): Through Exiles Eyes
My mum used to tell me that if you've got nothing constructive to say, then don't say anything at all.
North South Divide: Another Fine Day
When you have songs that are worth writing, a gift for melody, and a workmate who can do rich musical arrangements, you do the obvious thing.
Two-thirds of tweed-suited pop misfits The Young Knives look like they should work in a public lending library, or at a push, a computer programming department.
Forgetting it's Sunday I turn up just in time to see the end of Rob Galloway's set. This comprises of a song about doing something unsavory to a poor ginger girl's rectum and a cover of Electric Six's 'Danger!
Dillinger Escape Plan @ Cockpit
As the freezing weather continues, still the devotees come out in droves for what was rumored to be DEP's last ever UK tour.
Sawthroat @ Cross Keys (Morley)
I've seen these guys many a time and this is was definitely Sawthroat at their very best. Probably the best that I have seen them play since their gig at The Cavern in August.
Back in April, Tunng warmed up for the legendary Vashiti Bunyan and contemporary folk star Adem at West Yorkshire Playhouse.
With people still slowly drifting into the venue The Glitterati take to the stage. A crack of drums and a howl of overdriven guitars sees the band launch into 'Heartbreaker' and a rampant set that keeps upping the energy levels with each song until you feel veins are going to burst somewhere on stage.
The Swedish four piece trip daintily on stage, accompanied by a hurdy gurdy soundtrack that conjures up images of accordion playing moustachioed fellows and Heidi running through lush meadows.
Foley (2) @ Royal Park Cellars
My first trip of 2004 into the deep dark depths of the Royal Park Cellars. It's often dirty rock you find emanating from the cellars but this evening it's an altogether more mellow collection of bands.
Jeff Klein: Everybody Loves A Winner
After around Europe with One Little Indian label mate Jesse Malin, this is Jeff Klein's first UK release.
The Vine seems to have a cross section of every genre of rock 'n roll tonight, as we move through pseudo funk, light indie, Maiden-esque metal and then finally some anthemic indie stompers.
Various Artists: Fame Academy - The Album
Right, before you stop reading, this album, surprisingly, isn't all bad, so stick around for a bit eh?
Stuffy and The Fuses: Join me or Die!
Stuffy and the Fuses crash in like a lump of hard coal through the window. There's a scary noise, some local damage, and a cold wind rushes in behind.
All dressed in black; sultry with stiff motions, Mother Vulpine's heavy QOTSA style guitars lap over some gorgeous male to female harmonies.
Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan @ City Varieties
Euros Childs, former frontman of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, provides some strange folk indie to warm up the crowd.
Send More Paramedics @ Cockpit
That tonight's event is rammed to capacity and is being held in the larger of the venue's two rooms, only demonstrates how well respected Send More Paramedics are around these parts.
Adem @ West Yorkshire Playhouse
A barmy warm night and an audience that looks like a life-style magazine for relaxed funky living, a perfect setting for some Folktronica and old school hippydom.
Dan Glendining is a song writer and musician whose previous band Headswim made a little progress into the national consciousness during the 90s.
Dead Disco @ Dublin Castle (London)
Dead Disco, Death Disco, some might make a connection. Let's get things straight, Death Disco, and Alan McGee's pathetic spin off "The Queen is Dead," are nothing to do with this pint sized trio, full of pent up energy.
Dave Cooke talks about life after Landspeed Loungers, Wrath Records, the local scene and the fortunes of his new band...
Marvins Revolt @ Bar 1-20 (Huddersfield)
The latest You Are Invited all-dayer in Huddersfield may be the last unless some benevolent soul steps forward and offers to support the event.
One Bullet Left @ Snooty Fox (Wakefield)
The Snooty Fox in Wakefield is slightly different to the majority of pubs that you'll will have no doubt drank in.
Iron Maiden @ Leeds Festival 2005
Dark sky in the morning, festival goers warning. Fucking brilliant ensemble of bands on the main stage tonight, festival goers delight.
