Leaping from their winter hibernation now that spring is here, The Computers bound into their first tour of 2010 with their hard rocking old pals Outcry Collective.

The Computers have been busy honing their skills for writing snarling, phlegm-filled tuned before they head off to a very special secret location deep within the good old US of A to record their debut full length

These forthcoming dates will give the band an opportunity to test out some of their new material and will be the last chance to see them before they head across the pond and hit the studio.

Cult psychedelic/stoner rock band Sun Dial celebrate their 20th anniversary by returning from the wilderness with a brand new self-titled studio album, released April 26^th

A critic's favourite back in the early 1990's, Sun Dial were and are the perfect assembly of grunge, shoegazing and moody late 60's psychedelia. After a rather lengthy sabbatical, the band are back with an album that effortlessly straddles stoner rock, grunge and in places even metal.

This self-titled new album is darker, heavier and with a relentless focus brought about by personal adversity and the determination to show the band's musical talent with no tricks/studio gimmicks. This hardcore approach has led them to what they believe to be their best and most essential release.

In 2003, Sun Dial made a triumphant return with the heavily psychedelic/pop overtones of Zen For Sale. Now they unleash what is without doubt their heaviest and strongest offering to date with blistering guitars and a brutal production.

“We're both very reclusive now,” admits Russ, “And have developed a mistrust of most people as well as a dose of dark humour due to our sometimes ridiculous circumstances.” Add to that Aleister Crowley, occult magic, Hanna Barbera and old horror films and you get the strange melting pot that is Sun Dial.

Jaguar Love release their new album, 'Hologram Jams’ on April 26^th. It is the first Jaguar Love album to feature the band’s stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up two-piece line up of Johnny Whitney (Vocals, keys, drum machines) and Cody Votolato (Guitars, vocals, drum machines), both formerly of the late, lamented Blood Brothers.

During their short career so far the band’s inimitable sound has inspired the folks at Matador Records, who signed one album and an EP, as well as Fat Possum, who have now signed them to a worldwide deal.

Whilst there are no finalized plans for Jaguar Love to stalk music-loving prey on the road over here right now, the band promises “endless amounts of touring” so watch this space.

Subsource say – “Four years ago, 20 miles south of central London, four people went into a studio to start a war. Fucked off with so-called live dance acts mincing behind laptops, and rock acts with no more substance than the product in their hair we decided things had to change.

Following the release of October's crowd favourite 'The Reason (parasite)', Subsource's electro, metal and unique take on dubstep influences come to the fore of the socially charged track 'The Ides'.
This single will be released March 29^th along with the album 'Tales From The Doombox', which is set for release on April 5^th.

Due to phenomenal public demand, The Gaslight Anthem have been forced to move their London Headline show to Brixton Academy.

The band who had a monumental 2009, touring the world in support of their acclaimed album The '59 Sound, featuring at major festivals including Coachella, Rock AM Ring, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Leeds and Reading and more, are hard at work recording the follow up to The '59 Sound in New York City.
The album, which will be named 'American Slang' will be released in June 2010, and in support of this forthcoming record the band have announced the first of many UK/European tour dates:

June 19 - Southside Festival (Germany)

June 20 - Hurricane Festival (Germany)

June 22 - Birmingham (UK) O₂ Academy (headline show)

June 23 - Glasgow (UK) O₂ Academy (headline show)

June 24 - Manchester (UK) Academy 1 (headline show)

June 25 – London (UK) Hard Rock Calling (supporting Pearl Jam)

June 26 - London (UK) Brixton Academy (headline show)

June 29 - Oxford (UK) O₂ Academy (headline show)

July 1 - Amsterdam (Netherlands) Melkweg (headline show)

Florida natives We The Kings will release their Sophomore album 'Smile Kid' on March 8^th.

The band, who have secured themselves a heavily dedicated fan base, and who have toured the US with bands such as Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Cobra Starship, and who have more recently headlined the 2009 Vans Warped Tour have pre-empted the albums release with their infectious first single 'Heaven Can Wait' which was released on March 1^st.

The album, produced by S*A*M and SLUGGO (Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship), follows their self-titled début which took the number 1 spot on Billboard's New Alternative Album sales chart.

The band will visit the UK in March 2010 supporting You Me At Six on a Nationwide tour. So while you anticipate the tour, here's the video for 'Heaven Can Wait'.

The Who release 'The Who Greatest Hits/Greatest Hits Live' on February 8^th to coincide with their 2010 Superbowl XLIV half time show performance on Sunday February 7^th. Where they will begin with their first single 'My Generation' and end with a track from their most recent album 'Endless Wire' spanning their entire recording career for 1964 to date.

The Greatest Hits CD/download includes some of the bands classics such as 'My Generation', 'The Kids Are Alright', 'Pinball Wizard' along with the three theme songs to the CSI series 'Won't Get Fooled Again', 'Who Are You' and 'Baba O'Riley'.

Disc 2 includes an album full of rare live tracks that have been chosen by the band from performances from 1965 through to 2007, along with live versions of many classic hits and live favourites.
