Already hailed as local heroes in Sussex, thanks in no small part to their famously incendiary live shows, Noble Jacks have laid out the path to their second album release on 29th March. Leading with the single Rely on Love, the band have assembled ten tracks of resolutely upbeat, anthemic tracks which incorporate all that’s magnificent about British rock, with a side salad of riffing lead fiddle for good measure.

The very private three-piece band from Bilbao Spain has released their newest LP, The Approaching Roar on Season of Mist on 25 January 2019.  For those of you who aren't familiar with the blackened death metal trio, it's definitely not a band for a novice to the genre!! Let’s jump RIGHT IN....

Our very own P.T. Muscutt take a look back at the 2019 Brits Awards Show that was transmitted last night to millions of households across our fine nation, we’ve covered it for the past few years now and I think people are starting to warm to our obscure sense of humour and scathing comments that are often seen in the write up, buckle up folks, it;s gonna be a bumpy (but rather predictable) ride….

"A Bird in the Hand is a simple recipe of folk songs and wholesome lyrics to help stave off the cynicism of an increasingly alienating modern world” - THE SKINNY MAGAZINE

“Still a little mental but with a responsibility and fresh perspective that serves only to make him a more interesting and developed musician, this gradual rebirth suggests that, as album 10 passes, there will be plenty more to come yet” - LOUDER THAN WAR

I recently convinced a good friend to take a listen to IDLES for the very first time, he’s nearing 50 years old but is a die hard fan of music and I knew that without IDLES in his life, he would be living a very lonely existence. He was so moved with what he heard from both of their albums, he thought he’d put his thoughts into words and pass it to me to feature on musomuso, read on to find out how he got on….

It’s true, one of the finest musical lineups for a 2019 festival has to go to CORNBURY FESTIVAL who have managed to book THE SPECIALS, KEANE and THE BEACH BOYS, it will be one hell of a party, day and weekend tickets are available NOW….

Katy Hurt is somewhat of a travelling nomad, she was bought up in New York and now resides back in Blighty where she spends 99% of her days touring the country, performing with her band. We heard that she was supporting the mighty Gangstagrass on a couple of their UK headline tour dates and thought it would be a great opportunity to chat to her at the Exeter Phoenix venue. Sadly, the foul weather (snow, lots of it) scuppered our plans so I had to make do with a phone interview instead. We had a great chat and after a few minutes, realised that we know a lot of the same people, it really was a Twilight Zone moment…..here’s how we got on!

We were invited along to Plymouth Pavilions to catch the legendary DON BROCO on their UK arena tour, they’d already played two Manchester dates so we were hoping that they’d be warmed up and ready to blow the roof off the place!

It was back in November 2015 when we last chatted to Cornish ‘acid world rockers’ WILLE AND THE BANDITS, fast-forward three and a bit years to 2019, they had just released their latest album ‘Paths’ and were looking fresh faced, excited at the prospect of heading out on the first leg of their UK tour.

The tour would take them all over the UK and come to a close at the end of March. In April, they head out to Europe to play a ton of live shows before returning to the UK in June to grace a few fields with their presence (UK Festival season). Armed with a box of Sainsbury’s cherry bakewell’s (so rock n’ roll), I joined Wille, Matt and Drew in the green room at the Exeter Phoenix to chat about the new album, touring, funny things that have happened to them at festivals and tons more!

With their fifth studio album Eton Alive set for release on February 22nd followed by a MASSIVE 33 date UK tour, we chatted to the charismatic and utterly captivating Jason Williamson from Sleaford Mods about his work partnership with Andrew Fearn, his loves and loathes of touring and some of the bands and artists that deserve your time….

Tonight saw Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls play at the Motorpoint Arena in the heart of Cardiff, being the penultimate night of his UK leg of the Be More Kind world tour, we were expecting big things from Frank et al and we can safely say that the audience didn’t go home feeling short changed!

It was a beautiful day, the recent snowfall had started to thaw and I had an appointment with FRANK TURNER ahead of the penultimate date of the Be More Kind world tour which culminates in a headline show at London’s Alexandra Palace. on February 3rd. We had a good chat about how many shows he has left in him, his forthcoming book, the Lost Evenings gigs in May, playing DJ sets and UK/European festivals, click ‘play’ below to hear the entire interview.
