The Next Big Thing?

Grace (MySpace)This lot are tipped to do very well with the kind of people that buy The Feeling or Keane CDs, but really that comparison isn’t very apt cos they’re definitely more on the side of rock than pop or indie. Still, their next single, called Wonderful, is a very commercial sounding rock song, only… Continue reading The Next Big Thing?

Erik Segerstedt – I Can’t Say I’m Sorry (Watch)Sweden finally have their own Daniel Powter, and sadly he’s just as dull.

Well, if LazyTown’s terrifying single went top 5, and High School Musical mania is still gripping the country, they… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

Blimey!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMWSWKdZ5mE] And if that’s not enough, let’s go and… Continue reading Blimey!

Wow!

It looks like this week’s no.1 will be a fight tot the death by Mika and Just Jack, my two biggest and bestest tips for 2007, and artists I have been following since they both first had any media coverage. If this is a sign of things to come, by the end of year BWO… Continue reading Wow!
