    DiScover tip: Pink Nasty

    16862

    Pink Nasty is 24-year-old Wichita-born Sara Beck's project. Sara is now based in Austin, Texas (home of the renowned South by Southwest music shindig, as well as many bands) and she plays a classy line in acoustic pop, via indie-rock and with the attitude of a... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: What are your six best albums of the last six years?

    16816

    Yes, correct. DrownedinSound.com (you're looking at it!) turns six in October; this, you should know by now. What you may not know is that to accompany our array of gigs, we'll also have a good deal of birthday-related content on the site, including our top 66... »

    Welcome to DiScover!

    9684

    Drowned in Sound has always been about new music. Having championed the likes of Bloc Party from day one and maintaining a pedigree for finding great new music into our sixth year, we thought it time to make a bigger deal out of our new music coverage. »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: DiS's album picks for autumn

    16564

    Autumn is, traditionally, something of a busy time for the industry: record labels race to release albums that, if delayed and distributed to stores in November or December, would almost certainly be consumed by the flood of best-of compilations and cash-in festive c... »

    DiScover: Snowden

    16026

    Atlanta-based Snowden began as the bedroom project of singer and guitarist Jordan Jeffares, but has since grown, welcoming Chandler Rentz (drums), Corinne Lee (bass) and David Payne to the Snowden fold. Although they’ve attracted en... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: Is your bedroom the new Abbey Road?

    45823

    Not since White Town has the British undercurrent of 'bedroom music' been so interesting. Is there a real resurgence in the idea of a studio-free existence? »

    DiScover: Bat For Lashes

    15500

    Bat For Lashes' Fur And Gold follows in the wake of no little critical acclaim for its preceding single, ‘The Wizard’. Comparisons to both Kate Bush and Björk have put Khan in an awkward position, albeit one enviable to many: what happens if thos... »

    DiScover: Optimist Club

    16269

    Ahead of the quartet’s headline set at the DiS-curated RoTa show, we caught up with Optimist Club's Bryn (vocals, guitar) and Jeion (guitar) to talk touring, drummers, aspirations and motherhubbarding punk rock... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: DiScuss DiS!

    12829

    It’s as-it-says-on-the-tin simple: this week, we want you to DiScuss us. We want your opinions on areas of the site that could be modified, or tweaked, or completely overhauled. We want to know what draws you to the site – perhaps a couple of times a we... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: can we beat festival crime?

    15901

    It’s no secret that things have a habit of going missing at festivals all the time: from stray cans of Stella and portable gas hobs to leather jackets and digital cameras, each and every major music festival campsite suffers a rash of robberies once inebriated metalh... »

    DiScover: Cyann & Ben

    15813

    Cyann & Ben are the best musical wet dream you’ve never had, yet. They’re French, seductive like a fine fragrance lingering in the wake of a fantastically beautiful belle of the ball, and they’ve earned themselves comparisons to acts as diverse as Low and Soni... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: should the Astoria be saved?

    15714

    It turns out that a company of developers, namely Derwent Valley Central, have bought London’s famous Astoria Theatre, the much-used music venue in the centre of our nation’s capital... »

    DiScover: Kaada

    14354

    Music For Moviebikers is a truly absorbing, consuming record – sixty minutes of score for some wonderful fantasy fairytale of a film, some imaginary celluloid experience that no filmmaker could credibly capture. It draws, quite obviously, upon Kaada’s ‘... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: what's the best best-of?

    This Tuesday’s DiScussion piece focuses on best-of releases, past, present and future. What bands have ever really earned a best-of? Who's due one? DiScuss... »

    DiScover: Sika Redem

    14967

    In late May 2006 Sika Redem released their long-overdue debut album Entheogen, to a bank of hushed praise. The nine-track album received 9/10 or 4/5 reviews in several magazines and webzines, but the band have had a conspicuously slight amount of press coverag... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: Deafened by Death From Above? Submit your own indie mixes...

    14936

    This week’s Tuesday DiScussion? the indie club mix-tape DiScussion. Many a DiSser can be found week in, week out, playing records (okay, CDs mainly) to assembled punters at clubs both within the M25 and beyond it. There’s more to come, too – watch this space. For tod... »

    ReDiScover: Isis

    14643

    It wasn’t until early 2003 that these ears – previously unreceptive to anything heavier than At The Drive-In or, at a push, …Trail Of Dead’s explosive Madonna long-player – were opened, brutally, by the widescreen something-like-metal of Isis... »

    DiScover: Cortney Tidwell

    14402

    Cortney Tidwell, here as part of the Twisted Folk package tour alongside Howe Gelb, will, less than an hour after our interview, leave an entirely unprepared audience breathless. Hers is a talent previously untapped – allowed to shine only around the bars and ... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: Should we mourn the death of Top Of The Pops?

    14329

    On hearing that Top Of The Pops was soon to be axed, my heart sank on behalf of Britain. Like the local post office being shut down or a red telephone box being ripped out of the ground due to its mobile-induced redundancy, the thought of TOTP no longer being a disti... »

    The Tuesday DiScussion: MySpace or MyFarce?

    14300

    Social networking does not make million-selling acts... so what is really happening?
    Is it still the traditional media hype model? Is it all virtual word of mouth? Does it feel like you're bashing your head against a million bands trying to stampede through a sta...

    ReDiScover: Inspiral Carpets

    14003

    Back in the day when the phrase “indie” meant flared jeans, Joe Bloggs tops and shady men with Mancunian accents asking whether you were “Sorted?” or not, there was a holy triumvirate of pre-Premier League artists from the aforementioned city of dirty water. If The S... »

    DiScover: Emmy the Great

    13310

    Over the past year we’ve given Emmy a few mentions here and there and even pushed her out on stage to play to 1000 Brightonians to support Martha Wainwright after Teddy Thompson had to pull out at the last minute to do Jools Holland. A few weeks ago we made her part ... »
