British Rock – Control+Alt+Delight

A little over a year since the release of their debut album, all I can say is I still honestly don’t know what to expect from the Vaccines. Their debut was a glorious tumult of vintage-esque British rock, catapulting them into the libraries of fans of such exalted Brit rock bands as Arctic Monkeys and […]

You might have just had to do a double take but that man is not a young Paul McCartney. He is Miles Kane and he is a vision in guyliner. Mr. Kane recently released this EP, following his debut solo album “Colour of the Trap.” He has a very consistent sound, so if you heard […]

I would have dreams about Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane making music together and those dreams finally came true in the form of S.I.A.S. b-side “Little Illusion Machine” for which Sr.Kane provided the vocals. This is one of two songs that Arctics have released under the moniker “Death Ramps” which is pretty much just the […]

The Soft Pack I was fortunate enough (understatement) to get tickets for the sold out Soft Pack/Arctic Monkeys show at the Glasshouse in Pomona this week. Though I’d already seen the Soft Pack once and Arctic Monkeys twice, I was really just excited to see them in such an intimate venue. Granted, Arctic Monkeys are […]

If Miles Kane isn’t already on your radar he should be, especially if you’re into British rock or 1960’s inspired rock. And especially if you’re into good music. He’s the chap that plays along side Arctic Monkeys headman Alex Turner in The Last Shadow Puppets (among other things) and he recently released his debut album, […]

CoachellAltDelight brings attention to special artists that will be featured in Indio come April.Some we love. Some we just discovered. All good stuff.Click here for more from this series.33 (40) Days To be honest, I had a minor heart-attack when I saw Kasabian on the Coachella 2012 line-up. Probably because they’re one of my all-time […]

If you’re as obsessed with Arctic Monkeys as I am, you probably already know that they’re set to release their “Black Treacle” B-side in February, which will feature the songs that didn’t make the cut for the album. The following linked song “You and I” finally leaked the interwebs and it’s pretty fantastic. It’s more […]

I’ve never been the biggest advocate of Liverpool trio The Wombats. If you’d asked me a week ago what I thought of them I would have laughed and said the only song worth knowing was “Let’s Dance to Joy Division” (which happens to be a jam and a half) but anything else was a waste […]

The solo debut of Miles Kane is a murky flashback to the 1960s Brit-rock music scene. It’s an impressive breakout for an artist tightly associated with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, largely for their bromance baby The Last Shadow Puppets. There’s an elegant mystique about Colour of the Trap, enshrouded in booming drums and smoky-rock […]
