Over a year and half years since their last release 'Up To Now', Snow Patrol are back and are set to unleash a new single and album this year.
'Called Out In The Dark' will be the first offering from the new album and will be given it's worldwide exclusive first play this Thursday 21st July between 7-8pm on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show in the UK.

When Bernard Butler left the band all those many years ago, few would have guessed that with him left the dangerous, romantic noir vibe that fueled Suede's first two albums. After all, Brett Anderson was supposed to be the Byronic prince of darkness, and without Butler around, it only made sense that he would indulge his taste for the theatrical. It didn't turn out that way, of course. The band hired young Richard Oakes and refashioned themselves as a glammy, fizzy guitar pop band whose elegantly wasted ballads were tales of love found, not love lost. Suede's fifth album, A New Morning, confirms that this band isn't about to release another Dog Man Star anytime soon, or even turn out a "Whipsnade," since they're now all about "Positivity," as the opening track and lead single crisply announces. Once that disappointment fades -- Suede did tragic romantic better than anybody, and it's hard not to wish they still did it -- it's easy to appreciate A New Morning as another solid, succinct collection of tuneful, stylish modern-day glam pop, nearly the equal of Coming Up, whose blueprint this follows to a tee. Song for song, it's better and more consistent than Head Music -- whose dabbling in vague electronic now seems mildly dated and whose songwriting seems slight -- thanks partially to Stephen Street's focused, flattering production, but also due to a sharp set of songs, highlighted not just by "Positivity," "Lost in TV," "When the Rain Falls" (where the piano sounds lifted from a Vince Guaraldi Peanuts special), and "Lonely Girls," but a triptych of songs that inexplicably borrow their titles from classic rock songs ("Beautiful Loser," "Street Life," "One Hit to the Body"). Plus, there's no denying that Suede does this music better than anybody else (and they sound both loose and muscular here), and that Anderson's voice is aging marvelously, sounding quite fetching with a slight hint of booze and tobacco wear. So, A New Morning isn't a new beginning, nor does it take many risks, but it does find Suede in top form with good songs and an appealing record. You might wish that it was a little more than that, but you'll be satisfied by what it is.

Perhaps you weren't convinced of the Verve's staying power until recently. Before the release of Urban Hymns, skeptics wondered if they could ever match the explosive power of their earlier dedications. In 1995, most critics dismissed their offerings of the time as vapid, romantic excursions. To their credit, the Verve have sustained their shadow rock legitimacy while introducing string arrangements, piano fills, and slide guitar. Nowhere are these stirring traits more obvious than in the epic single "Bitter Sweet Symphony." Laying it on thick throughout the rest of the album with painfully engaging ballads, the Verve have crafted their most accomplished album to date, proving the longevity of their cultural resonance. --Lucas Hilbert
verve 乐队 1990 年组建于英国威根。从唱片中，你怎么也不会猜到 verve 是来自一个田园般的、纯朴的南方小镇。当然，如果没有不同于一般的背景，他们永远也不会投入这种强烈的音域中。面对目前颇为时髦的"虚无逃避主义"英国摇滚乐风气，他们时而松弛、时而压抑的风格超出了传统的歌曲结构，代之以空间摇滚之上的迷幻主义，外加爵士风格和氛围音乐脉络。
乐队的成员来自威根的温斯坦利大学，成员包括主唱 richard ashcroft、吉他手 nick mccabe、贝司手 simon jones 和鼓手 peter salisbury。他们早期的单曲，如《all in the mind》和《gravity grave》，初步确立了乐队猛烈的音乐招牌。 1989 年，他们与 virgin 公司所属的 hut 公司签约，在随后的几年中，乐队出版了一系列颇受好评的单曲，诸如《she's a superstar》和《blue》等，都进入了独立音乐的排行榜。
1993 年，他们出版了第 1 张专辑《a storm in the heaven》，真正显示了他们的实力。这张专辑是在与世隔绝的康沃尔郡录音室完成的，具有与 van morrison 的《astral weeks》或 talk talk 的《spirit of eden》相同的水准。当然，这完全是他们自己的风格。其中一些片断，如同在温暖的夏日里潮汐萦绕在你耳边；但另一些，如《silde away》和《the sun，the sea》，厚重的吉他音如同潮水一般。 verve 在英国也成了热门乐队，被传媒称为“下一件大事”。
1994 年，verve 出了一张集单曲和单曲 B 面歌曲的集锦《no come down》，并且开始了美国之行，虽然有来自美国爵士乐公司 verve 的商标纠纷，但他们还是开发了美国的新市场。他们也曾与 oasis 乐队一起在英国巡演，最后他们与 oasis 的制作人 owen morris 搭上了关系，morris 答应他们担任第 2 张专辑《a northern soul》的制作人。
1995 年《a northern soul》出版，英国传媒的好评铺天盖地，然而它还是被美国市场忽略了。尽管如此，该专辑在英国排行榜上的表现还不错，进入了前 20 名。《on your own》、《history》和《this is music》都是上乘之作。这次所有的曲目结构性更强，内容都取材于自己的亲身经历，特别是 mccabe 的吉他尤为特色。
不幸的是，虽然凭着乐队这样的高水平会使他们前途无量，但他们却在第 2 张专辑出版不久便宣布解散，主要原因是 ashcroft 和 mccabe 在创作和个人关系上出现了裂痕。 ashcroft 举行了几场个人原声音乐会，并于 1995 年底出现在 oasis 的演唱会上。 1996 年初，在没有 mccabe 的情况下，ashcroft、jones 和 salisbury 以另外一个名字重新，ashcroft 也计划出版自己的专辑。
1997 年春，verve 重组，并出版了新的专辑《urban hymns》。----摘自华业音乐网

简介 Richard Ashcroft的单飞并没使The Verve解散，11年以后，他们又带来了全新专辑《Forth》。差不多在去年中旬，他们就曾宣布重组，发表了全新唱片。
神作出世，在众人闪闪发光的期待下揭开了一团迷雾，这团迷雾让我越听越清，越听越觉得充满力量。大量宏伟气魄的乐器演奏，一个10年前的团队开始出现，很显然，10年后的他们已经不会有着10年前《Urban Hymns》时那样旋律和节奏，当然我们并不需要那时的The Verve，时代变迁，我们需要现在的The Verve 拿出现这个时代所承认的经典作品，那样才是真正的需要。但是也难免会从第四张专辑《Forth》中体会到《Urban Hymns》那时的气息，当然还会有Richard Ashcroft 个人时期的一些作品气息。新专辑《Forth》正式发行收录10首新歌，还会有一些仅用做下载的新单曲或者单曲的B面，隐藏曲。虽然专辑只有10首新歌，但时间却长达1个小时04分。The Verve 的一贯作风，在器乐的旋律上面做大量的文章，迷幻，燥声等。而Nick McCabe的吉他却仍然是这次重组后的看点，Nick McCabe 有时坚硬，有时柔和的指法，华丽同时而不缺乏飘渺，迷幻那样的氛围。而我喜欢的弦乐器也是这个章节没有丢失的东西，使之更加动人

After the critical and commercial success of the top 10 album – ‘Night Thoughts’ (2016) Suede are set to release their stunning new album ‘The Blue Hour’ on the 21st September 2018.
The Blue Hour is the final part of the triptych of albums recorded by the band since they reformed and released 2013’s Bloodsports. Produced and mixed by Alan Moulder at Assault & Battery Studios the album sees Suede continue to explore new ground sonically. It features a choir and spoken word, as well as string arrangements from Craig Armstrong and the band’s own Neil Codling.
The Blue Hour was produced by Alan Moulder and Suede; it shares the same line-up as 1996’s Coming Up – vocals by Brett Anderson, guitars by Richard Oakes, bass by Mat Osman, drums by Simon Gilbert, synthesizers and piano by Neil Codling.

The Libertines ended 2014 by announcing their return. They signed a record deal and announced intentions to release a new studio album—their first since their 2004 self-titled album. That album is called Anthems For Doomed Youth and it's out September 4 via Harvest. That's the album art above—find the tracklist below.
The album's deluxe edition comes with four bonus tracks recorded live at Karma Sound Studios on May 20 of this year.
The album features a few songs that the band have recently performed live, including "Gunga Din" (previously reported to be called "Gunga Gin").

1971年，The Who与制作人Glyn Johns合作了专辑《Who's Next》（谁是下一个）。这张专辑的音乐更硬更重了，它又成了一张热门专辑，其中很多歌象“蓝色眼睛的背后”、“不再受欺骗”、“讨价还价”和Entwhistle的“我的老婆”成了70年代那些专辑化的立体声电台的奠基石。

My Generation is the debut album by the English rock band The Who, released by Brunswick in the United Kingdom in December 1965. It was released in the United States by Decca in April 1966 as The Who Sings My Generation with a different cover and a slightly different track listing.

Performance and Cocktails is the second studio album by Welsh rock band Stereophonics. It was released by V2 on 8 March 1999. The name 'Performance and Cocktails' comes from lyrics in the album's first song, "Roll Up and Shine".

A Hundred Million Suns is the fifth album by alternative rock band Snow Patrol. The album will be released in Ireland on October 24, 2008, in the UK and the rest of Europe on October 27, 2008, and in the US on October 28, 2008.The first single from the album will be "Take Back the City" which will be released on October 10 in Ireland, Germany and Belgium. With a release for the rest of Europe on October 13, 2008 and in France on October 14, 2008.

2009 two CD collection from the Scottish/Irish Pop rockers. Snow Patrol are one of the biggest and boldest bands of the past decade. Over 15 years and five studio albums, the part Irish, part Scottish five piece have sketched heart-bruised ballads and arm-around-your-best-mate festival anthems, radio hits and moments of painful introspection. All of these have been gathered together for Up To Now, a 30 track, double album of singles, cover versions, rarities, album tracks and a handful of new songs. From their formation in Scotland in 1994, the band's hard-earned rise has seen them become one of the world's biggest bands, culminating in them selling over 10 million copies of their last three albums!

Definitely Maybe于1994年由Sony公司发行，其中多首出现在他们发行前一年同The Real People乐队的Chris和Tony Griffiths一起录制的Live Demonstration demo中。正式发行版本的歌曲要比较长，他们与 Mark Coyle 一起录制3遍，直到Owen Morris 出现并混音制作到大家满意为止。整张专集总共花费8万5千英镑在制作上，在当时是相当大的投资。这张专辑的销售量也非常好，受到了很多听众的欣赏和好评。
