Melted Snow is a quite unique organisation. Not quite a record label, not quite an art statement, not quite design delight; but all of the above and more. Having released the quite beautiful, subtlesoul-synth melancholia debut recordings by Saso, as well as a beautifully-designed art book, this is an o»
"Dear Artrocker, you are Rock and Roll Gods, without you the world would be a sadder and more whingey-arse-indie-sad dump. But, why don't you ever go on about our home grown heroes The Libertines and Ikara Colt?" Thankyou for your enquiry Jane of Doncaster, I will endeavour to explain. How many ways are T»
In a world where popular country music is currently as ludicrous as a group of banjo-strumming hamsters, and also invariably performed by them, Laura Cantrell, an elegant, jaw-droppingly sophisticated natural from Nashville, is breathing air into it that's as fresh as a daisy. She's the new Laura Cantrell, a new»
Ok, so it is their website, we're not going to be on teevee or nuffink. Bossman/Creator chap Sean, got quizzed by the BBC One Music website (which is really useful if you're in a band or want to get into the music biz) the other day and you can read it if ya wanna »
HELLO! Well, there's another shitty round of virus' hitting again and we've all been hit at DiS towers so I thought I'd post a link to a free and really good Virus scanner, protector and cleaner called Grisoft. »
It’s 5am on a rainy Sunday morning and I am in a hotel bedroom introducing the wonders of the Magic Roundabout to Dave McPherson, lead singer and guitarist of new rock band, InMe. Dave is wide eyed with amazement at the small television screen depicting Dougal and friends on a “mushroom” hunt. “Is it me or »
Some of you have realised the brillance of 7 Questions. Some of you haven’t. If you look at it as a stupid, wacky, fanziney thing to do, you might like it or not depending on how puerile you wish to be on a Thursday. If you look at it as an interesting insight into the mindset of a musician,»
De-Frag MCR #5 - Manchester’s DiS guide from =RaZ= I told you it’d get regular and here it is again already. It’s been a quietish time in Manchester after October’s rock extravagances but treat some of this week’s with a callous disregard and you will be sure to hold your head in your hands and weep. »

Ankst – now morphed into Ankstmusik – has always been an extremely important label that has showcased many bands of super quality alongside some truly original artists. Perhaps the label’s heyday came with the launch of acts such as Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci and Super Furry Animals in the mid»
Last week we brought you some of our personal memories of music: ways in which our lives were shaped by music, or occasions on which a gig, band or album made us turn round and change the way we thought. Here are some more of those memories. »
I stood at The Back for a long time this year. I didn’t enjoy it. I could easily gauge how much I would, or should, be enjoying it, but that’s not the point. Is it? I love being a barfly. It means you don’t have to traipse through the crowd to get back there and it’s alright doing that at»
Its Wednesday afternoon and I am sitting at my desk, and I am so tired. Yes I've been out everyday since time immemorial, or at least that is what it feels like. Why? I don't know. Watching bands, seeing people, living my life. Trying to get away from all the madness, all the bullshit. But its pretty hard, its»
Blame the Punkz. Blame Nirvana. Blame Corgan. Maybe blame Molko. And certainly blame the shit state of the world today. Don't blame Essex, that's just not fair...
But we're not going to place blame. We're simply going to point out something's a-happenin and has been goin»
You may have heard that recently the London Astoria was refused its entertainments licence. Now, the conspiracy against the music we love deepens, it seems... Our government is looking to change licensing laws, it was warned yesterday by the»
Y’know, there are some bands who I’d love to sanction to the masses. There are so many things I could say about them and there is so much I want to say. But do you ever get the feeling it would just be pointless? London’s I Own Kings are one of these very bands, but hey just wanna say it all themselves, dammit. If »
The Sun are reporting it and now DiS...(thought we'd save ya buying a paper) Terrible music and release strategies (i.e. using singles as a loss leader and way of getting media coverage) have caused a slump in singles sales. Some stats nerd has revealed that singles sales have dropped this year b»
ALOHA! Oh look, another Drownedinsound night at the Windmill - just off Brixton Hill in London.. and what of this weeks showcasing of "interesting and exciting new bands" we hear you ask. More drunken noisy rock antics? You betcha.. what about some art-rock, art-indie and a bit of art-metal? Some in»
Here at Drowned In Sound we're not just into the next big thing, blindly following trends as though we didn't have minds of our own. Music is about passion, not fashion, and that's why we all have very personal memories relating to the soundtracks of our past. Here are just some of them - make of them what »

Firstly, some huge apologies for not doing this for a while but I could reel off excuses like a madman. I will, however, spare you. I promise to get this to you more regularly from now on!
Secondly, if you go see yer bands in the fair ci»
