You may remember earlier this year when I wrote a post about the reforming of emo kings Taking Back Sunday and my apprehension over whether the eagerly awaited comeback album would ever compare with the band's debut Tell All Your Friends.

Although the new record isn't due out until some point next year, vocalist Adam Lazzara has given us a sneaky peak by uploading a demo of one of the tracks – bizarrely titled 'Best Places to Be a Mom' – to his sound cloud page.

Calling Four Year Strong fans. Questions?

 Tonight I will be interviewing the bearded popcore juggernauts that are Four Year Strong for Subba-Cultcha before their only UK headline show on their European tour, at Camden's Electric Ballroom. If anyone has any burning questions for them, then leave them in a comment below or email them to me . Cheers!

'Sell out with me, oh yeah...': White Lies and Weezer attempt to answer the question of how to make music pay

The music industry is in trouble. A bold statement? Not really. It seems to be the stock phrase with artists, labels, music journalists and media analysts everywhere these days.

People are not paying for music to the same degree as they used to, and are accessing their music in other ways, mainly for free, and mainly illegally. Industry experts are looking for the answer, but at the moment, have had very little success. Despite this having been a hot topic for a while now, it has been driven home to me over the past week, with the coming together of a couple entrepreneurial  experiments that I felt failed terribly.

LOST? I am, especially when mapping the workings of Rivers Cuomo's mind.

Firstly, I popped to a show last week with my good friend James (or The Popscener as he is known to the blogosphere).

I went to see The Gaslight Anthem a few weeks ago and reviewed it for Subba Cultcha. You can read my review here.
