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 […]
I’ve been quite scathing about both Dance and Hip-Hop on Killed By The Video Star up to now, and with reason too, as both genres tend to be quite shallow, and not very inventive.
However, I’ve hit a problem, as I kind of like this tune, Wearing My Rolex by Wiley, as even though it combines […]
The Mystery Jets are a five piece Indie band from the UK who you probably haven’t heard of as yet. No, that’s not me being snobby, but unless you’re British, and in to new Indie, it’s just a statistical fact.
So I am here to teach you, and to that end, here is their new single, […]
I’ve already given The Feeling some airplay here on Killed By The Video Star, but as none of you seemed to notice, or care, I thought I’d try again. I warn you, if I get no comments this time, I’ll keep plugging their videos until someone takes notice!
This is the second song from their second […]
British band The Kooks are continuing their mission to become completely Americanised, as can be witnessed in this, their latest video for Always Where I Need To Be.
As a big British music fan, as anyone who regularly reads Brit Music Scene will know, I find it sad when home-grown artists feel the need to change […]
I have very mixed feelings about James Blunt. It’s like having a devil on one shoulder who hates him vociferously, and an angel on the other who thinks he is a genius. I’m somewhere in the middle and flit between the two.
He IS a genius, but probably only for earning shed loads of money for […]
Last week, I reviewed Taio Cruz Feat. Luciana with Come On Girl. I didn’t rate it very much, so I thought it would be fitting to go back and look at another dong featuring Luciana.
This song is by Bodyrox, although Luciana definitely takes centre stage and makes the song what it is. She also makes […]
If you’re currently residing in the US, you may well have heard this song, but might not have seen this particular video for it, as there is another one knocking about.
Rather than a monkey doing the housework, this one features British acting legend Bob Hoskins miming the lyrics while acting out a recreation of the […]
The Futureheads are an amazing British band who have taken a whole host of influences, as well as their own style, and fine tuned it in to a unique sound.
They’re just about to embark on a UK tour, and have a new single out, but I thought we should go old school, and revisit what […]
This song is one of those that leaves me with a feeling of why did they bother? It never gets going, just repeating the same words from beginning to end.
The only thing that almost saves it is the appearance of Luciana at the end, but she’s not in it nearly enough to make up for […]
