The Ting Tings - ‘That’s Not My Name’ Music Video Review | New British Alternative

This is an old song which has just been re-released in the UK by The Ting Tings, a fairly new British alternative/indie pop/dance band comprising of Jules De Martino and Katie White.
That’s Not My Name didn’t even chart the first time around but since they’ve now got some airplay and mainstream press, the band are […]

Santogold - ‘L.E.S. Artistes’ Music Video Review | Alternative Is The Right Word

This is the first viewing of new artist Santogold which I’ve had the pleasure of, and I must say, I’m impressed.

This is Bjork’s brand new single Declare Independence, which isn’t released until January 1st 2008, but as soon as I saw the video, I knew I had to get it on Killed By The Video Star.

The Eels - ‘Last Stop, This Town’ | A Genetically Modified Carrot Anyone?

The Eels have been pushing out alternative music for over 10 years now. They’re songs are both innovative, and original, and some would also say a tad weird.
