For editor Mary's coverage of SXSW 2013, go here.
Don't forget to like There Goes the Fear on Facebook and follow us on Twitter! ~TGTF HQ xFYI our fearless editor Mary is currently on holiday (sort of, she says, since she'll be working on blog-y things for most of it) in Britain and the site won't be as updated as frequently until she returns stateside after the 23rd of May. Don't worry though, we'll be busy this month going to festivals (Liverpool Sound City, the Great Escape) and loads of great content is on its way!
Bristol’s electronic outfit Seasfire have a new video for ‘Oh Lucifer’, which will be released as a single on Little Fan Records on the 1st of July. Equally punishing guitars and drums make for a compelling track, as you will hear by watching the video below, which was directed by James Booth (who also did The 1975‘s video ‘Chocolate’.
OMD‘s newest video from new album ‘English Electric’ is for ‘Dresden’. It’s entirely animated, which is kind of a disappointment b/c Andy McCluskey’s got a very entertaining way of dancing live. The single is out on the 27th of May.
My review of the gig isn’t online yet but have a look at Martin’s amazing photos of their show at Gateshead Sage on 13 May here.
Hey Sholay are playing the Fierce Panda 19th birthday party this very night, alongside their mates the Crookes and the Heartbreaks. They’ve got a lovely new video for new single ‘WDYRWMTB’, which will be out as part of the ‘Cloud, Castle, _______’ EP, to be released on the 3rd of June. The video is…well, watch it. You’ll see.
The latest single from the Frankie and the Heartstrings camp is a little ditty called ‘Nothing Our Way’, being released today. A car wash and a five-a-side, you say? Just watch the video below.
The band are on tour in the UK in June.
To say that I was pretty bummed that Fenech-Soler pulled out of this year’s Great Escape is a terrible understatement. However, I know they’ve been working super hard on finishing their second album ‘Rituals’, which is now finished (hurray!) and will be available in the high street on the 2nd of September. ‘Magnetic’ is their forthcoming single out on the 1st of July on Warner, and I’ll be some time before I can really give Ben Duffy’s lyrics the proper attention, but visually, this video is brilliance, and for sure this will be huge at summer festivals. “Can you feel it too?” Watch it below.
What happens when you stick the National in a small white room with their instruments and leave them alone? Presumably you get a scene like this video for ‘Sea of Love’. Watch the video below. Oh wait. I’ve just read that it’s playing homage to another video that the band found inspiring. How…unimaginative.
The band will release their next album ‘Trouble Will Find Me’ this summer.
There Goes The Fear is where we tell you about the latest tours, gigs, and music we love and think you should too.
We love music that has its heart on its sleeve, tells a story, swims around our head all day or makes us dance like idiots.
