News: we're sticking with this DiScover Mixtape format (you seem to like it!), but from now on we're going to bring it to you in two installments per month, sorta like Side A and Side B on a 'real' cassette tape. So here's the first, and from now on you'll be seeing six new tracks per feature, hopefully making it a little bit more digestible and giving you more of a chance to listen to our writers' selections. Good idea? We reckon so.»

A few weeks back, just before Muse played two huge homecoming shows (discussed here) and released their hugely successful new album The Resistance (reviewed here), DiS had a chat with their drummer Dominic Howard. Seeing as you've now had time to get your teeth into the album, here's what he had to say about it... »

DiS' founder and current editor Sean Adams compiles a playlist of songs that could be heard in the year 2000 (a rough theme we've set for you to build a Spotifriday playlist around - more details here) when this very website was in its embryonic stages. First, a bit of prologue...»

We round off the Invada Invasion of DiS with a chat with Andy Hung, one half of the mighty Fuck Buttons (Benjamin John Power having swanned off on holiday). As Geoff Barrow discussed on Monday, the erstwhile Bristolians are signatories to ATP rather than Invada, but they’re taking pride of place at tomorrow’s Invada Invasion gig, topping off the second stage bill as they break out the divine accelerations of new record Tarot Sport (out Oct 5).»

Editors have come a long way since debut seven-inch ‘Bullets’ first landed on DiS’ doormat at the outset of 2005. Their two albums to date, The Back Room and An End Has A Start both achieved platinum status amidst a wealth of critical acclaim, while their live shows have regularly sold out around Europe in the process...»

All this week Invada invades DiS, for a week of content from its artists and acts playing at the concert. Why? Because we love Invada, because the Invada Invasion of Bristol looks amazing, and because for today’s first feature we get to talk to the delightful Mr Barrow himself, who discusses the gig, the label and his new band, BEAK>.»

Another week, another DiScover Mixtape... with all this new music, we are really spoiling you (say in a sleazy European accent, liberally smattering zees and vees all over the place).»

The hold music playing before the label rep connects us to Brand New front man Jesse Lacey draws a charming parallel to the old hymn that eerily opens their new record, Daisy (out September 21st).»

It’s perpetually 1972 at Kutsher’s Country Club, the utterly perfect location for the New York incarnation of ATP. The event may attract several generations of indie rock fan, but for the people who run the resort this is no different to a local weddi»

There's a lot of new music out there, that's for sure. So rather than just spew words at you about why you should be listening to band A rather than band B or C, we've decided to give you the choice - them, plus bands D, E, F, etc. - in the form of this handy (and, from now on, regular) DiScover Mixtape.»

Okay, okay, so we left it to part three to get onto the 'music' section of a record label interview, but Constellation is a pretty special case. Here we bring the final part of the transcript of Andrzej Lukowski's interview with founders Don Wilkie and Ia»

Review
by Andrzej Lukowski
The abrupt uncommercial curveball record from a big-selling, once zeitgeist-imbued artist is a bitch to review upon release, because it comes weighed down with such distracting baggage. »

DiS is still mulling over the decade that was and pondering who the most important acts were, what the best gig was and which labels/events/moments really truly mattered. To soundtrack my thought process, I've compiled this playlist of my favourite songs of the decade and thought I'd join the opensource revolution and share this playlist with you all.»

Now, July may not have been the greatest month of the year as far as big-name bands releasing big-name chart crushing records - this is normally always the case, mind - but there has been a steady flow of excellent little records from equally excellent little bands.»

"All good things have endings," sang The Get Up Kids, many moons ago. And so it came to pass: in 2004 the band made the decision to call it a day. Their story isn't quite finished yet, however. We caught up with founding 'Kid Jim Suptic for the lowdown.»
