The Osheaga Music Festival returned to beautiful Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal, QC for its second year in a row. The festival initially boasted an all-star line-up with recent buzz-worthy acts such as Amy Winehouse and Peter, Bjorn, and John, but due to unforeseen circumstances the two artists had to drop out of the festival. However, with The Smashing Pumpkins, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Interpol, and Feist on board, the festival was far from a shortage of heavy hitters.

The mighty MTV rolled their juggernaut bandwagon into Manchester, hosting four bands with apparently “spanking new music" – The Maccabees, Fields, Forward Russia! and Wolfmother

The Answer are all about classic rock‘n’roll anthems.  Led Zeppelin, AC/DC & Thin Lizzy are all glaring apparent influences in their music. With the sudden influx of copyist artists around these days, it would be easy just to dismiss the band as another here today gone tomorrow fad, like our British friends The Darkness.

Pual Smith's energy is almost unparalleled by anyone I’ve witnessed onstage before.

This is an album you

By the time these boys are rounding off the night my mind is made up. Believe the hype!! (well some of it)

We Are Scientists don’t offer anything new in the listening stakes, as their speciality is serving up instantly accessible slices of pop rock loveliness to get your head bobbing and those feet a tappin’.
