The Verve - Love Is Noise 2008-06-26 16:47:28 Love Is Noise
, the new song from The Verve
, is their first new material in a staggering 11 years. And i'll tell you what, it's pretty damn good! Richard Ashcroft's voice is so strong, and it's just got the feel of a great record that is both "singalongable" and still maintains musical credibility. The bands new album "Four" will be released 15th August, with the single preceeding that on 1st Augu
Marvin - The Blogspot Mixtape 2008-06-25 16:00:01 First Marvin

" (clearly a lot of thought went into that one!), it features a rather staggering 30 tracks. Some feature Marvin doing his thing over recognised tunes such P
Danny Bryd - Shock Out 2008-06-25 13:26:54 If you like your Drum and Bass then you've got to check out Danny
Byrd.He's signed to the awesome Hospital Records (home to likes of High Contrast), and recently released his debut L.P "Supersize".Check out "Shock
Out" which is killer of a track combining D+B, Breakbeat, and Dubstep, with a wicked soulful vocal. The beat that kicks in is just so sick and heavy. It's such a TUNE.Also check out his

Featured Artist: Styrofoam 2008-06-21 05:11:10 Today's post comes courtesy of Gio, who has been a long time supporter of Music Liberation.

Featured Artist: Nephu Huzzband 2008-07-04 06:52:32 I was recently sent the new single from Nottingham based band, Nephu Huzzband. Despite being the shortest single i've heard this year, (1 minute 27 seconds!), "Nurse! Nurse!" is quite possible one of the most vital pieces of new music to surface in 2008. The band combine various influences from the likes of Post-Hardcore, Indie, Electronica, and Punk, to create a sound which is progressive and to Read more:Featured

Catcutter Records present...A Sketch For Summer 2008-08-19 15:19:01 I was recently sent a new compilation CD from Catcutter Records

record "Intimacy" in digital form, however I only listened to three tracks before stopping myself from listening any further.

Black Kids - Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo) 2008-09-07 06:00:01 I have to say that initially I was a little wary of Black
Kids, their first single "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance" was overplayed and overhyped by Radio and Blogs. But I liked the understated by cool 80's esque "Hurricane Jane", and new single "Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)" is just absolutely sublime Pop. It ticks all the boxes, and despite being quite cheesy, it gets a forme
