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 was never a fan of Natasha Bedingfield when she was over here in the UK plying her trade. Her first album was okay but it wasn’t really my cup of tea.
Now, she has disappeared over to the States to find her (larger) fortune and fame, and unbelievably, the quality of music she’s producing has […]
Gabriella Cilmi has come seemingly out of nowhere to have chart success in her native Australia, as well as New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland. And she’s done it with this brilliant song called Sweet About Me.
The other day I reviewed a song by an Australian band called Pendulum, who have moved to the UK […]
Pendulum are a new Australian band who have relocated to the UK as they know it is the Mecca of decent music. Just ask Dave over at Brit Music Scene, oh hang on that’s me! However, don’t tell Lauren at Oz Music Scene, or she’ll kill me.
After starting as producers and remixers, they are now […]
Duffy is back, releasing her second single, Warwick Avenue, as a follow up to the huge hit that was Mercy. And even more than her début, this song transports me back in time to the 1960s.
Not that I was ever alive in the 60s, I’m old but not that old, but it gives me a […]
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 […]
Adele and Duffy both seemed to come from nowhere and burst on to the music scene in the wake of the success enjoyed by Amy Winehouse on both sides of the Atlantic.
In terms of first singles, Duffy was more successful, with Mercy making it to number one in the British singles chart. I personally preferred […]
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, […]
Kylie Minogue is huge in the UK, Europe, Japan, and her native Australia, but America just doesn’t seem to have taken her to their hearts like the rest of the world. She’s the female Robbie Williams in that respect.
This song, In My Arms, is the third from her new album, X, which is her in […]
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 […]
