The Maccabees有着英国indie音乐最大的优点和最大的缺点，深刻而又易忘，The Maccabees的音乐不能说是照搬其他团体的风格，因为都是同样的indie，强烈的英国记号深深地烙在他们的音乐中。
The Maccabees来自英国的Brighton，有着宗教意味的名字却是这支无神论者团体的名字，他们在2005年的时候就独立发行了第一首单曲X-Ray，并在2006年的时候得到了许多媒体的正面表扬，NME更是把他们誉为The best new band in Britain，去年的时候他们发表了第二首单曲Latchmere和第一首英国单曲榜上榜单曲 First Love，一首让更多人知道The Maccabees的象征性作品，他们的新单曲About Your Dress取得了33名的成绩。

Blur are set to release a new compilation to coincide with their summer comeback shows.
The double CD 'Midlife: A Beginners Guide To Blur' is released on June 15, and features 25 tracks.
Apparently it has been aimed at those who missed the band first time around, before their recent reformation, with a statement explaining that "the collection has been designed as an introduction for those who might have missed out on Blur's prolific recording career".

那些不熟悉4ad的朋友，可能对Swallow这支乐队知之甚少，其实Swallow也只是92年在4AD下仅发了一张"Blow"和混音辑"Blowback",94年之后就转投到Rough Trade旗下了。
半实验仙音吉他二人组(我很少把"仙音"这个词安到某个乐队身上)swallow越看越像是一队玩票的,要不然怎么这么多年来二个人一点动静都没有!玩神秘玩失踪也不用这样对待fans嘛!
由mike mason和louise trehy组成的Swallow可谓又是一队给人忽视的4AD乐队,原因?很简单,生不逢时.但如果听惯dreampop的耳朵对他们的声响都会很敏感,你只要比较一下90年代初那拨dreampop/shoegazing队伍的东西,你会发现swallow的声音真的是独此一家别无分号,Cocteau Twins和Lush完全盖不了他们.

There needed to be a gloomy, remotely intimate glam pop group named after a character created by Franz Kafka who detuned their pained, pining guitars like the Velvet Underground, who screwed up dance beats with as much nimble knowingness and/or amateurish exuberance as Devo, who faced up to long lasting reality with as much sad, mad grace as Magazine, who got stuck into logic as defiantly as Pere Ubu, who had spent a lot of time watching Television and listening to the first six or seven songs written by the Buzzcocks. This is the third release in a series of Domino re-issues Past releases include: Orange Juice's "The Glasgow School" and Fire Enginess "Codex Teenage Premonition". Deluxe hardbound packaging.

Whirlpool is the debut album by British shoegazing band Chapterhouse. The album was reissued in 2006, on the label Cherry Red, with seven bonus tracks taken from three EPs (Freefall, Sunburst, and Pearl) released in the same time frame as the album. The Cherry Red reissue also included, for the first time, lyrics to all of the songs. The album spent 3 weeks in the UK Album chart in 1991, peaking at number 23.

钢琴，鼓，高亢的歌喉与丰富的创作力，是KEANE成功的方程式，“SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW”充满感情而温暖，绝对是2004年迄今最佳单曲！
在英国一个偶然的一个晚上，尚未成名的KEANE基音乐团应邀帮TRAVIS(崔维斯乐团)暖场，当基音走上舞台的时候，大家感觉到一股新的史诗摇滚势力似乎要袭卷而来！英国权威音乐杂志Q不但给予他们四颗星的高评价，还形容“我们看到了一支乐团正上演着酷玩乐团的魔幻效应”。来自英国萨西克斯郡BATTLE小镇，从小一起长大的基音乐团，在走唱英国小镇6年，以及于独立厂牌FIERCE PANDA发行两张单曲之后，2003年底正式加盟环球音乐，基音乐队的首支单曲SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW秘密基地登上英国金榜TOP3，成为2004年各大乐评眼中的“21世纪披头四”。2001年在最具公信力的媒体“英国国家广播公司BBC”年度乐评票选活动中，更获选为“2004年最具潜力团体”，一时之间，基音受到前所未有的注目，新专辑的发行成为2004万众瞩目的盛事，果然，基音乐队首张专辑《HOPES AND FEARS憧憬》发行首周空降英国金榜冠军！
没有吉他手，基音以三种基因创造出全新音乐，钢琴，鼓，以及歌声，凭着动人的旋律与歌声，把原本的“弱点”转化为突出的特色，基音反而异军突起，受到各界一致的推崇。钢琴编织出旋律，鼓给予骨干，而歌声赋予不朽的灵魂。在名混音师MIKE SPIKE STENTS 的打造下，主唱充满穿透力的歌声与丝丝入扣的动人旋律合而为一。首支单曲SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW成功登陆英国金榜，问鼎2004年最佳单曲，第二波单曲EVERYBODY`S CHANGING的歌声表现直逼乐坛前辈COLDPLAY QUEEN的透明清洁，虽然没有吉他的出现，BEND&BREAK，CAN`T STOPNOW，SUNSHINE等歌曲，融入贝斯助力，更添英式独特风味。

Blur have announced that they will release 'The Magic Whip', their first album in 12 years, on April 27.
The band – Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree – made the announcement at press conference hosted by outgoing BBC Radio 1 presenter Zane Lowe at Chinese restaurant The Golden Phoenix in London's West End, which is ongoing at present.
The album's producer, Stephen Street, also attended.
Blur recorded an album's worth of material in five days in Hong Kong in May 2013.
However, in an interview published by NME in July 2014, Damon Albarn said that because he likes to work in shorter, more concentrated periods of time he feared that he would never return to the tracks the band made while in Asia.
"There are about 15 songs we recorded in Hong Kong," he said at the time. "The annoying thing is, if I'd been able to write the lyrics there and then about being there, we'd have finished the record. But sometimes, if you can't do it all at once, it dissipates really and I don't know what I'd sing about now with that record. There's some great tunes on there, but it may just be one of those records that never comes out."
