VIDEO: Pint Shot Riot - Somebody Save Me

Coventry's Pint Shot Riot are back with another cracking tune, the lads have even made a naughty video for the song (Coventry people might recognise a few of the places!) The video features Guy Jenkins and Amy Rudge and was directed by Dino Kazamia - Rocket has been a very naughty boy, as you will see in the video below!. The single, Somebody Save Me is available from iTunes for just 79p and on CD from HMV for £1.99.

Pint Shot Riot have also released their debut album, entitled 'Spell It Out' - available at HMV for £9.99 (with DVD of Coventry Kasbah gig) or £7.99 (without DVD) at iTunes.

The review sums Pint Shot Riot up perfectly: Produced by Peter Miles (King Blues, Crazy Arm), the album narrates stories of life and love in today's Britain. The CD also includes a live DVD featuring one of the bands sell-out hometown shows at Coventry's 1000 capacity venue Kasbah.

The band have recently returned from New York where they performed at Webster Hall and the Mercury Lounge to promote their last single 'Hazy Days'. Pint Shot Riot will return to the USA to perform at SXSW in March 2011.



The next single 'Somebody Save Me', is a typically riotous affair which grabs instantly from its pulsating introduction, holds on with its infectious chorus and doesn't let go until the final chord is struck.



Pint Shot Riot have cut their teeth performing with bands such as Band Of Skulls, Athlete, We Are Scientists, Pete Doherty, The Twang, Cage The Elephant, Glasvegas and fellow Coventry locals, The Enemy. Pint Shot Riot's music has reaches millions of people across the world, with various songs featuring on the video games 'Need for Speed Hot Pursuit', 'Need For Speed Nitro', 'FIFA 2010', 'Fight Night Round 4' and 'The Sims 3'.





Truly a band on the rise, Pint Shot Riot's 'Spell It Out' is a must for anyone in need of honest, and fresh guitar driven indie-rock.

The Ripps Make Triumphant Return

 The Ripps made a welcome return as they showcased their new material and proved once again why their tunes are so needed today. It had been over a year since The Ripps had publicly taken to the stage, but a lot has happened since they supported Coventry legends The Specials.

 Patch and Raul Lagunas have known the highs and lows of being in a band, while trying to make a living. Thankfully for their fans - they didn't give up, instead they picked themselves up and along with new band mates Alan Ferguson (bass guitar) and Phil Cox (drums) worked hard on writing new material.

The Cambell gig was the first opportunity for family, friends and fans to hear the new songs and judging by the reactions - The Ripps have been given a big seal of approval. The many hours spent together have paid off, you could see The Ripps were enjoying being back on stage in their beloved Coventry.

 It was a triumphant return to the quirky sound that made The Ripps stand out from other bands, as each new track bellowed out from the stage, you couldn't help but tap your feet or hands. The Ripps have their mojo back and they certainly want to use it!

 VIDEOS: HERE

 The Ripps kicked off the set with two familiar songs from 'Long Live The Ripps' before winning over the Cambell crowd with 'This Modern Life', 'Dealer Song', 'The Police Are On The Attack', 'Night On The Town', 'Young and Lost' and 'All Good Things'.

 The Ripps then cranked it up to the next level with 'Riding High', 'True Colours' and 'Lose Yourself' - songs that fans can listen too on The Ripps Facebook page. By the time the final song 'Lovesick' was performed, the venue was buzzing with excitement. Patch, Raul, Alan and Phil wouldn't get away without an encore!

A four song encore proved to be a winner with the final new song 'She's Not All There', two indie hits 'Loco' and 'Holiday', then a track that featured in an episode of Glee ('Dancing With Myself'') rounded the set off perfectly. The band could now relax and enjoy socialising with friends, fired up ready for a summer of gigs.

Supporting bands Revellers Riot (above) and Casual Parents (below) warmed the crowds up ready for The Ripps and did a mighty fine job!

The Cougars @ Kasbah Coventry

The Cougars were back in Coventry over the Bank Holiday weekend and the crowds at Kasbah nightclub were in for a real treat. Ashley, George, Ross and Matt not only warmed up for The Delays performance, they truly 'rocked the Kasbah' with their power packed set list.

Despite The Cougars having van trouble, even before they had set off from Cambridge it didn't stop lead singer Ashley and drummer Matt from lugging all the equipment into their cars and driving up to Coventry so as not to disappoint fans. Many an artist would have pulled the plug on the gig but The Cougars love Coventry too much for such a thing to happen!

The Cougars deserve praise for delivering such an energetic performance and are a worthy contenders for the main stage at the Kasbah. Coventry and indeed the world, needs bands like The Cougars during these difficult times. Despite having a long drive back to Cambridge and the prospect of a long 13 hour shift at work, Ashley and the lads stayed behind for The Delays set and shared a few drinks long into the night with fans. No wonder Coventry love The Cougars!

Goldfrapp 'Rocket' from the official website: http://www.goldfrapp.com/

Starting something, thought it could be fun
I started something, couldn't go wrong

Danger, heartache, I'd always knew
There's no winner, in this game you lose

But I still wanna know how she got in the door uninvited

Oo-ooh I got a rocket
Oo-ooh you're going on it
Oo-ooh you're never coming back

This is secrets, stories unfold
Flow by pleasure, losing control

Danger, heartache, something has died
No good pretending, I'm leaving this time

But I still wanna know how she got in the door uninvited

Oo-ooh I got a rocket
Oo-ooh you're going on it
Oo-ooh you're never coming back

Oo-ooh I got a rocket
Oo-ooh you're going on it
Oo-ooh you're never coming back

You're never coming back
You're never coming back again no no
You're going out on your own

You're never coming back
You're never coming back again oh no
You're going out on your own

Oo-ooh I got a rocket
Oo-ooh you're going on it
Oo-ooh you're never coming back

Oo-ooh I got a rocket
Oo-ooh you're going on it
Oo-ooh you're never coming back
(you're never coming back)

VIDEO: Scouting For Girls - This Aint A Love Song (with Lyrics)

Scouting For Girls are back as the new video, 'This Ain't A Love Song' demonstrates. The lads have lost none of their original sound and you'll be singing along to this tune in no time at all. The lyrics are included below just to get you started. The single is out now, visit http://www.scoutingforgirls.com/ for more the latest updates.



Every night I remember that event
The way you looked when you said you were leaving
The way you cried as you turned to walk away
The cruel words and the false accusations
The mean looks and the same old frustrations
I never thought that we'd throw it all away
But we threw it all away.

And I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm a bloody big mess inside
And I'm a little bit lost without you
This aint a love song this is goodbye (oooooh)
This aint a love song this is goodbye (ooooh)

I've been lost, I've been losing
I've been tired, I'm all hurt and confusion
I've been mad, I'm the kind of man that I'm not
I'm going down, I'll be coming back fighting
I may be scared and a little bit frightened
But I'll be back, I'll be coming back to life
I'll be coming back to life

And I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm a bloody big mess inside
And I'm a little bit lost without you
This aint a love song this is goodbye (oooooh)
This aint a love song this is goodbye (ooooh)

Whoooo
And you can try (you can try)
And you can try but you'll never keep me down
And you can try (you can try)
And you can try but you'll never keep me down

La la la la la la la
(I wont be lost, i wont be down)

And I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm a bloody big mess inside
This ain't a love song this is goodbye

It's alright (It's alright) cause you can try but you'll never keep me down
It's alright (It's alright) I may be lost but you'll never keep me down
You can try (you can try) you can try but you'll never keep me down
You cant try (you can try) I know I'm lost but I'm waiting to be found
You'll never keep me down
You'll never keep me down
Never keep me down

VIDEO: Shakira - Gypsy

Here is the latest video from Shakira called 'Gypsy', featuring tennis champion Rafael Nadal. The full lyrics for Gypsy are below so you can sing along with Shakira!



[Verse 1]
Broke my heart
On the road
Spent the weekend
Sewing the pieces back on

Crayons and dolls
passed me by
Walking gets too boring
When you learn how to fly

Not the homecoming kind
Take the top off
And who knows what
you might find

Won't confess all my sins
You can bet I'll try it
But you can't always win

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a gypsy
But are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes
And wear them if they fit me
I never made agreements
Just like a gypsy
And I won't back down
'Cause life's already hurt me
And I won't cry
I'm too young to die
If you're gonna quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy

('Cause I'm a gypsy)

[Verse 2]
I can't hide
what I've done
Scars remind me
Of just how far that I've come
To whom it may concern
Only run with scissors
When you want to get hurt

[Chorus]

I said hey you
you're no fool
If you say 'NO'
ain't it just the
way life goes?
People fear what
they don't know
Come along for the
ride (Oh yeah)
Come along for the
ride (ooohhh)
