DiS is onsite at both Reading and Leeds Festivals this weekend and through a haze of dust, here's DiS' editor with a quick rundown of Day One at Reading...»
So, in no particular order, here are the twenty acts DiS' editor is most looking forward to seeing this weekend. »
The Kaiser Chiefs' FM-friendly pop juggernaut rolled into Sheffield - the Hallam Arena, no less - recently, and they bought some mates with them: Black Kids and Esser provided the support.»
The first in a new series of articles penned by those in the know about the industry issues of the day. Meet The Insider...»
We asked Kaiser Chiefs enigma of a guitarist Whitey what he would like to contribute to the takeover and got no response. We asked him what he loved and the response we got back was this no nonsense collection of YouTubes for you to click through and a mix-tape tracklist...»
Guest Editors Kaiser Chiefs reveal the musical inspirations behind new album Off With Their Heads»
We've heard that Kaiser Chiefs' keyboard player Peanut loves Photography and that Ricky loves the Radio, now we hear from bassist Simon Rix...»
Yesterday we heard about Peanut's love of Photography, today Ricky explains why he loves the radio...»
As part of DiS' exclusive Kaiser Chiefs takeover week of content, we asked frontman Ricky Wilson to keep a little Twitter-like time-line of his day to give you a little glimpse into what it's like to spend a day in his trainers...»
As part of our Kaiser Chiefs takeover week we asked each band member to tell us about something they love. We kick things off with their pork-pie hat wearing keyboard player Peanut sharing his love of photography and a selection of his shots...»
Welcome to Kaiser Chiefs week! The Leeds-leeds-LEEDS boys, our old friends (well, like, yuhknow, we released their debut single 'Oh My God' way back when), have hijacked DiS this week. They kick things off with a track-by-track 'directors commentary' style rundown of Off With Their Heads by KC's bassist, Simon Rix... »
We stumbled across these great pictures floating around the system and thought it'd be a crying shame to waste them»
Remember when festivals were exciting? This excitement seems to have transfered to stadium rock. Is it back? DiS waffles on»
A week, just over, on and we’ve had time enough to let those Brit Award nominations sink in. Now we're wondering: who's actually going to win, and do we want them to? Here, the DiS office picks its ideal winners, and compares them to the favourites at the bookies. Snap? Rarely»
For a whole week, we barely touched a drop: too expensive, too cold, not a thing like what us Brits are used to. A dry county, Hove might as well have been; not a sip, not a tipple. For a week, teetotal. Lies: we just didn’t eat...»
Possibly, you are aware of Drowned In Sound Recordings; given that it’s the sister operation of this beloved website you read, adore and occasionally spam. Gareth Dobson checks in with founder Sean Adams to begin DiS' regular label features.»
...he'd probably write a better tune than most of the rejects and retards who proffer us Christmas singles year upon year...»
2006 has been a year that’s lived up to and exceeded all expectations. With enough fantastic albums to treble the length of my Albums of the Year list, and a gig list long enough to frighten even the hardiest tour manager, I’ve seen plenty of goodness this year. Luckily we’re on hand to jog those memories and help you reminisce about the good times and the couple of sad moments which brought us all back down to Earth with a big bump. This is 2006...»
Here's the last little tidbit tangent to DiS's favourite 66 albums of the past six years, Our 66. Here, we present to you a selection of personal top sixes (of the last six years) from an assortment of musicians and label folk, starring Alan McGee, Sparklehorse, Howling Bells, Kaiser Chiefs and more...»
This week, DiS is going to Iceland! No! Not to the frozen food haven for some over-sized breasts a la Kerry Katona (formerly of hit UK girl group Atomic Kitten), but to the frozen LAND haven quite a lot further north than Scotland for the quite fantastic Iceland Airwaves Festival that runs in Reykjavik from Wednesday to Sunday. See? We do leave the M25! We’re going on a plane so that things like grass and trees do not confuse us.»
With a plethora of hot talent emerging on an almost weekly basis, Leeds is swiftly overtaking Manchester as the northern epicentre of music and culture. Which probably means that the Kaiser Chiefs are the White Rose equivalent of Oasis. What does Ricky Wilson make of it all...»
A message from our record label arm with news on Martha Wainwright & Kaiser Chiefs.»
It’s been less than two years since John Harris’ most excellent ‘The Last Party’ documented a certain period in music, roughly 1993-97, when British bands decided to give a jolly good kick in the teeth of grunge. For a while, it looked like we mig»
As well as running this site full of news and opinions and stuff, we're also dabbling in the sordid world of releasing records by bands we love (not that we don't love all the other bands we write about). Anyway, yes, thisGIRL and their acclaimed hyperactive rock show is currently on the road sponsored by RockSound, in support of their forthcoming single 'Hallelujah' in June. And them there Kaiser Chiefs released their cheeky eccentric indie-pop debut single 'Oh my God' this week (go grab a copy, before it sells out!) and are currently on tour with the Ordinary Boys + Dogs Die in Hot Cars...»

Cheap entry (£3) is available to all DiS readers. Come along, discover some great new music... details are as follows...»
