Cat's Eyes

Faris Badwan, frontman for UK indie rockers The Horrors, has a new project: Cat's Eyes, a duo with the Canadian opera soprano and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Zeffira. The group specializes in a glassy, symphonic take on girl-group pop, and they played their first show in December in a pretty unusual place: St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, during an afternoon mass "attended by seven high-ranking cardinals," according to a press release.

Hot City

Hot City melds together his love of UK and US dance music, taking cues from UKG/2Step and early rave, splicing it with the raw energy of early chicago, detroit and new york house music; aiming straight at the dancefloor, his heavily swung rhythms, shuffling snares, and tight edits roll with deep bass punch and classic synth stabs, at once evoking memories of bygone eras, yet absorbing contemporary production and memes to create some wholly modern steppa's!

Battleaxe

And so it was that from the ashes of the Warrior there was formed a mighty Battleaxe… So runs the ancient legend.
Sometimes legends can be true. Sometimes legends can be modern. From the ashes of a band called Warrior there came Battleaxe. Back in the early 1980s in the north-east of England four young men joined forces to embark on a heroic quest – to be one of the best heavy metal bands around.
