Video Premiere: Antennas Up – ‘Coming On’
Last year, almost one year ago to the day, in fact, we brought you our review of Antennas Up’s debut full-length record, The Awkward Phase (read it here!) Well, now they’re back with the first official video off of the record, after a heavy year of touring the country, playing as far east as NYC, [...]
Single of the Week: Mother Feather – Mother Feather (Video)
Over the course of the last year, we’ve gotten to know the sassy, seedy, and seductive world of Mother Feather quite while. They have been on quite the tear this last calendar year, releasing their debut EP, touring up a storm (including a UK stint), all whilst working on new tracks to hit us upside [...]
Single of the Week: The Rolling Stones – Doom and Gloom
How could it be anything else? The greatest rock & roll band perhaps of all time show on ‘Doom and Gloom’ that in their seventies, they still have everything that made them great in the ’70s. While A Bigger Bang was a great release, there is something present in ‘Doom and Gloom’ that seemed to be missing [...]
Sunday (Video) Rewind: Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer
It was April 1986 when Peter Gabriel released his seminal video for ‘Sledgehammer’ off of his smash record So that topped the charts in the U.S., Canada, and the UK. With the industry still very much in the exploratory phase of the music video as a medium, Gabriel unsurprisingly saw the medium as a fantastic [...]
Live: Passenger – The Living Room, NYC – 9.13.12
Back in March, we highlighted singer/songwriter Mike Rosenberg, better known on the artist circuit as Passenger. While enjoying extremely respectable success in the UK and Australia, Passenger has still been trying to find a foothold on this side of the pond. But, judging by the sold out, standing room only crowd that flocked to The [...]
The Review: Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest
A year ago, well-accomplished actor/director/producer Michael Rapaport released his documentary based upon the journey of A Tribe Called Quest, three years in the making. Not surprisingly, Rapaport gives us so much more than just another documentary about music, which is fitting, considering that A Tribe Called Quest was never just another group of artists. Beats, Rhymes [...]
Watch This!: The Hives – ‘Wait a Minute’
After a number of teasers, it’s finally here – The Hives released today their video for the latest single off of Lex Hives, ‘Wait a Minute’. It’s as catchy a number as there is on Lex Hives, dripping with the snotty punchiness that has so defined The Hives tenure as kings of modern day rock & [...]
Watch This!: Flagship – ‘Still I Wait’
Our newfound affinity for Charlotte, North Carolina’s Flagship is no secret. So without retreading fresh ground, here is their brand new video for their strongest single off of their Blackbush EP, ‘Still I Wait’. This is without question a candidate for ‘Track of the Year’ here at Goodbye Babylon. Dig it. And in case you missed it, [...]
Hear This Now!: Bat for Lashes – ‘Laura’
The UK’s other indie songstress, Bat for Lashes, is back with a brand new single, called ‘Laura’, from her forthcoming record The Haunted Man. Once again, Natasha Khan stuns with chillingly beautiful vocals laid delicately over a melancholic piano melody. At first, the track is reminiscent of Gary Jules’ take on ‘Mad World’, but it’s at the pre-chorus and [...]
Sunday Rewind: 1 Giant Leap – 1 Giant Leap
I had the distinct pleasure to have been living in London during the summer of 2002. To say that London was in its glory at the time would be a supreme understatement. The weather was anything but dreary, World Cup 2002 was in full swing with England fielding a strong side, and the music scene [...]
