It’s the SeX PiSToLS Jubilee, just like the Queen's one but for the people who can’t afford towers of cake, champers or to live outside of relative poverty. 25years ago the Sex Pistols were living in squalor, with barely enough cash to eat but the brains to get by. Most importantly they had the empowering»
DROWNEDINSOUND.COM LAUNCH NEW MUSIC MAGAZINE... INTRO: Enough is enough! No-one but market targetting majors are controlling and feeding our nations youth! Fact!

Oh my, oh my…. First up tonight are Purple Munkie managed by DiS’ very own Adie Nunn. A music-industry heavy queue flows into the Castle (it’s not actually a castle, castle, more a bar with a backroom) and the sound pouring from the stage, from 4 barely-started-shaving Elgin boys is one with a lot»
I keep telling people it’s time for change, that we can’t keep standing still on a backward escalator like this. Records keep the hope and magic of a revolution alive. Seeing the (International) Noise Conspiracy has renewed a lot of my hope, so has the new iDLEWiLD album (great ain’t it?) but I just think»
It's not long now, til TRUCK FESTIVAL which takes place this weekend (20th-21st JULY) @ Hill Farm, Steventon, near Oxford; it's one of, if not the festival of the year...but is it the nu-glastonbury? Might just be better, we'll tell you after. Confirmed so far are... Saturday:»
Right here, right now, you might as well pour orange juice all over me and find the five bestest bimbos in Norway to lick it off and give me the key to their chastity belts.

How much does DiS love the best rock band from Aldershot REUBEN?? Lots and lots: more than vodka!! That's how much! And that is a lot, let me assure you... So, they've got a new rockin-like-a-bad-bwoy single out on August 5th called 'Stux (Tell Me It's Alright)' on Andy Ross's (formerly of Fo»
Well, this isn't a REAL party, but we've got real audio and windows streams (not as exciting as multicoloured streamers, sorry!) of the amazing new Reindeer Section album 'son of evil reindeer' which is out Monday 24th June 200»
Oh dear oh dear, do you ever get the feeling you like a band too much? Y'know, that point when you've analysed every word and find yourself staring meanfully at the artwork discovering the reason to existence. Dear oh dear. Well, anyway, drownedinsound, we get like that about Biffy Clyro and guess what; they're »
Following the license refusal for this years Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival, the organisers, Mean Fiddler, have announced an immediate appeal to the Magistrate’s Court. Melvin Benn (aka the man), Managing Director of Mea»
“I taste, your skin, it melts and sings 'yes, we can win for sure'" - The Reindeer Section, yum! What do you mean you don’t know who they are? Their last album was a true gem. Their music is the sound that any band writing love songs should sound like. Yet, they effortlessly make Coldplay an»
You will have read and felt the hype of The (International) Noise Conspiracy by now, and if you're fortunate, you'll have witnessed their live garage-rocking, political PARTAY! The albums, out on Burning Heart, are quite hard to get hold of. However, you can get two of the bands best songs on one 7"»

What a clever idea: Get a truck. Get a pa. Get a field. Get some bands. Sell tickets and give some of the profits to Amnesty International and other local charities. Truck Festival 2002 takes place on Saturday 20th trough Sunday 21st July @ Hi»
Camden (home of historical style, London-cool and very little legal substance..) @ The Underworld, are Tyler from Exeter. This band perfectly sum up the venomous hate I have for Hundred Reasons. I’m not sure how to make that statement make sense to you, but it’s basically down to their emulation an»
The Liars, who're yet another noisenik band from Nu Yawk have been confirmed as "special guests" of Sonic Youth on their forthcoming British tour in June. The noise-fests happen on the following days and these lucky (probably sold out already) places:

I love press releases which begin: "Famed for their total disregard of the mainstream music industry, Los Angeles based noise punks The Icarus Line bring their passion for chaos and musical self-destruction back to the UK for dates across the UK and Europe in June and July 2002." So, in the Uk, you»

Woooah! What’s happened here? People actually know who ’A’ are nowadays, they’re playing the kinda venues they used to be first on in and from big toofy grins come the words. Some of them in the band have kidz of their own now and the strangest thing is, Jason Perry’s become a (somewhat squeaky) centre-leftie po»
The mighty, mighty, mighty, dis-adored Aereogramme are coming back out on the road to give us some more of that delicate/screaming inside a ornamental snowball... After touring with iDLEWiLD a month or so ago, they now have a swish new website aereogramme.»
Just in at the DiS news desk... "ALANIS MORISSETTE IS PLAYING THE WATER RATS ON FRIDAY 24TH MAY! Tickets will go on sale from the venue (The Water Rats, 328 Grays Inn Rd, King Cross, WC1) on Wednesday 22 May at 6.30pm - 11pm. They will also be on sale from the venue on Thursday 23 May a»
As we hope you're aware, on Monday (20th May) drownedinsound has a gig @ the Camden Monarch and we're pleased to say the show has sold out. The response for tickets has been overwhelming and we're not sure why (might have something to do with those Crackout boyo's being all over m2 or it might just »
