Coldplay - Us Against The World

Here is my favourite track from Coldplay's upcoming fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, which is set for release on October 24th. As you can tell from the first two singles, Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall & Paradise, the album is a whole new direction for the group, with Chris Martin explaining: "it's inspired by old school American Graffiti, the White Rose Movement and The Wire. However, this song reminds me of the the older Coldplay work and wouldn't sound out of place on Parachutes. I can't stop listening to it. Pre-order the album HERE.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Pick Up Truck (Kings Of Leon Cover)

Benjamin Francis Leftwich took to his offical site yesterday and let go of a five track freEP, which contains five covers of songs that mean a lot to him - he explains:

"As you may know I am a fan of covering songs by artists I love. If you have come to see me on any of my October tour dates you will have seen and heard I have been playing ‘Atlantic City’ by Bruce Springsteen, a song I think is amazing by an artist I very much look up to. So, I have put together a little EP with my take on 5 songs I am really fond of."

Below is my favourite cover, which is a stripped back interpretation of the closing track on the Kings Of Leon's 2010 release, Come Around Sundown. All you need to do to get the EP is go HERE, fill in your details and then download for free. So much talent.

Coldplay - Paradise

Here is the second single from Coldplay's upcoming album, Mylo Xyloto, which is set to be released October 24th - pre-order your copy HERE and get 'Paradise' for free. Much prefer this to Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall. What do you think?

City And Colour - We Found Each Other In The Dark x The Grand Optimist

Here are my two favourite tracks from Little Hell, which is the third album by City And Colour, an acoustic side project of Alexisonfire vocalist/guitarist Dallas Green. It will be released on June 7th and is the highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2008’s Bring Me Your Love, which was certified platinum in Green’s native Canada. The album is worth buying for these two tracks alone. We Found Each Other In The Dark is one of the most beautiful love songs I've heard for an incredibly long time.

Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

Earlier today Fearne Cotton played the world premiere of Coldplay's lead single from their upcoming fifth studio album, which is a follow up to the 2008 release, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Wasn't too sure what to expect when I saw the cover last week, but I like it, a lot. This will sound massive at Glasto.

Miles Kane - Counting Down The Days

Indie/Alternative isn't usually my kind of thing; however Miles Kane is an incredibly talented musician and an exceptional lyricist. His debut solo album was released yesterday, and here is my favourite track from it.

This album could be something really special.
