With a raw, blues sound it's everything you'd want and expect from a Black Keys track. One of the more guitar heavy tracks comes courtesy of Bloc Party and their contribution '3x3'.
Its hard-hitting vocal and frantic playing remind us just how good their album 'Four' which the song was featured on was. Florida's Coastline Festival is set to arrive in less than two weeks, bringing with it a handful of the recent indie and rock sensations as well as great beer and great food. It describes itself as a 'A Musiculinary Experience' - and that it certainly will be with an absolutely stellar line-up led by Massachusetts' Passion Pit , whose second album Gossamer was in the top five on the US Album Chart last year, and Irish collective Two Door Cinema Club who topped their Nation's charts with their sophomore release.
Who they already love. Of course. Ok, so there's plenty of serious music fans at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, though there's also those who have no idea who they're watching, where they are, or why they're there. You've seen them wandering around - they chose their festival outfit about 6 months ago. Anyway, Jimmy Kimmel skewered plenty of fake music fans at this year's festival by getting them to gush about bands that, err, don't actually exist.
Sending his cameras into the maelstrom, Kimmel caught one guy saying of the completely fictitious Obesity Epidemic, "I just like their whole style. Their whole genre is great. They are very innovative, and they're new. The reporter was keen to push, Doctor Shlmo and the GI Clinic, which one gig-goer said she was "really excited to see them live.. Two Door Cinema Club were the only real band used in the segment, though one music 'fan' said he'd enjoyed their album 'DJ Cornmeal'.
Two Door Cinema Club. Two Door Cinema Club before going on stage. We are getting to that point where bands are starting to show who are looking to breakthrough in the new decade. Two Door Cinema are wasting no time and look set to leave the rest behind. The new album is already out and now it is time for a release of a follow up Single. Very pleased to be headlining the inaugural In It Together festival. Roll on !! Party time. London O2 Arena - 2 years ago today!
So good to be playing Tempelhof Sounds next year. Did you say it's someone's birthday today?! Behind the scenes from rehearsals. This time last week Leeds, you were unreal last weekend. I like to do things that are relatively dull. It becomes this escape. At the same time, no matter how hard it gets, this is the dream I always had. So I will do anything to keep that.
It can be tempting to be drawn to the hedonism of bands. It is seductive. Halliday says that his favourite moment of the recording process was a morning before they went into the studio and met for coffee on the beach in Topanga, California.
In preparation for recording Trimble would meet him, hang out, drink coffee, listen to records, talk and try to figure out how they were going to get what they wanted to say into the album. How are Two Door Cinema Club meant to go on the road again?
But as Baird explains, their position in the industry, in their careers, means they have to tour. So that level is shrinking.
The squeezed middle? So now the deal is to play gigs for a couple of weeks and then go home for a couple of weeks. Shorter stretches on the road will keep them steady.

The first time they floated the idea of appearing on their own album cover, Baird remembers the band's management saying: "Guys, this is amazing!
We've been trying to get you to do this for so long! So it's a perfect disguise," he laughs. London-based photographer Aleksandra Kingo designed the sleeve, placing the trio in a scene of panic - surrounded by red alert alarms, megaphones, telephones and hazard signs.
It all ties in with the theme of False Alarm, which Trimble says is about a sense of collective, mild anxiety that many people experience today; where most of us live in a world of endless phone notifications, doom-ridden news headlines and general despair. It can be a little bit anxiety-inducing. And that's where the name False Alarm came from, because most of it is needless. That's not to say there aren't pressing global issues to get worked up about, insists Baird.
Sleeve designer Kingo was on the same page as the band when put to task on an album cover. We were introduced to it in our early teens. So it can still be very overwhelming to us. The last Two Door Cinema Club album, 's Gameshow, came off the back of inter-band tensions and a two year hiatus in which the Northern Irish group nearly split. Lyrically, Trimble addressed his dissatisfaction with the information age from a distance. This time, Trimble and his bandmates are realising they're just as vulnerable to technology's perceived dark side as the rest of us.
False Alarm, then, explores how humans are what Trimble calls a "very strange species. We're quite foolish and we're quite self-destructive. But it's all happening in quite a funny way. Rather than pointing the finger at specific trends, or getting doom-and-gloom about the world we live in, the new record explores the "bizarre side of it and the absurdity," he says.
And the album's off-kilter social commentary is channelled through shiny, funk-nodding pop; already found on singles Talk and Satellite.
