Organisers of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay have announced that Biffy Clyro will headline the Edinburgh’s Hogmanay 2015/16 Concert in the Gardens, joined by Idlewild and Honeyblood in a very strong all-Scottish line-up. This will be Biffy Clyro's one and only UK performance of 2015 and will be the stage from which they will kick off 2016 and what is being lined up to be an absolutely huge year for them. Biffy Clyro said “We are so happy to come out of musical hibernation...

Here at TLE we bloody love We Are The City. Second album Violent was a powerhouse of sleepy-cool synth and conscientious, poetic lyricism that moved our hearts as much as our feet. It didn't hurt that it was also the soundtrack to a beautifully-shot film of the same name which is still picking up awards to this day. Now it seems their third album is on the way, announced with a new track - 'Keep On Dancing' The band self-produced the...

Mark McGuire (who you might recognise from Cleveland noisies Emeralds) has announced his latest album, Beyond Belief, the follow up to 2014's Noctilucence, with the release of new track 'Earth: 2015'. It's intricate, melodic and more than a little bit chaotic. Mark McGuire is also set to play one of our favourite fests, Le Guess Who? Festival, on 20th November, where he will share a line-up with Sunn O))), Chelsea Wolfe, Destroyer and a bunch of other acts. Lucky Utrecht. Each pre-order package...

Check out the full statement from Maybeshewill below. 'When we started this band over a decade ago it was just a bedroom project that we never really imagined playing live with. Every...

By Dr. Robin George Andrews  Series 9 of Doctor Who premieres on the 19th September with The Magician’s Apprentice. In the meantime, another (lesser known) doctor, Dr. Andrews, has been pondering on the power source of the TARDIS: the Eye of Harmony. That’s right: the man who stops the monsters is back, and he’s not alone. The Master – reincarnated as the phenomenally mischievous Missy – is somehow alive and kicking, and is teaming up with the intrepid, effervescent Clara to...

Sleaford Mods are scheduled to play at Banksy’s much talked about Dismaland this Friday, an event that frontman Jason Williamson has personally been looking forward to ahead of their Key Markets UK tour this month: "I got asked about 8 months ago if Sleaford fancied playing an art exhibition. I asked who's it was and got told whose it was and I thought yes, why not? I thought it was really good that we'd been asked. Why shouldn't I think...

Viet Cong, the Calgary-based quartet —recently short-listed for Canada’s' prestigious Polaris Music Prize,— have revealed their brand new video for “'Bunker Buster'”, directed by Yoonha Park. It's a heady mish-mash of twitchy-faced mannequins, smoking starlets and milky blood. Who are you to resist? If Viet Cong's “'Bunker Buster'” elicits the images of a nighttime urban hellscape littered with lost souls, it does so with its dissected, angular rhythms and existential lyrics. Taking these visual cues even further, director Yoonha Park gives the song a...
