• Walk between Worlds

On 2nd February, BMG will release ‘Walk between Worlds’, SIMPLE MINDS’ first album of new material since 2014’s Big Music (which MOJO magazine declared “their best album in 30 years”). ‘Walk between Worlds’ was produced by SIMPLE MINDS with Andy Wright and Gavin Goldberg, both of whom worked on ‘Big Music’. With its eight tracks rocketing past in 42 minutes, it is a relatively concise affair. It is also an album of two distinct sides, very much the old-school album format that singer Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill grew up with as music fans. Side one tracks such as ‘Summer’ and ‘The Signal And The Noise’ revisit the glassy guitars and new wave dance grooves of the post-punk era and the second half explores more cinematic sounds, with the title track and ‘Barrowland Star’ both featuring dramatic orchestrations recorded at Abbey Road.

Sad news for all VNV NATION fans. As the band announced yesterday, live drummer Mark Jackson leaves the band. Here's the full statement: "As the years pass, life and situations inevitably change. After a long and fruitful working relationship, Mark Jackson will no longer be a part of VNV Nation and will be leaving to pursue other paths in life. Mark’s role as live drummer with VNV Nation began in the 90s, when the band started performing as a live duo. He has expressed his thanks for the time he spent in the band. I’m proud of what VNV Nation has achieved so far and wish him the best with the next chapter of his life. My passion and commitment to VNV Nation will continue as ever. A new album is underway and there’s lots more to come."

Broilers

Few other German Oi and Punk Rock bands can claim to have landed an album on the top spot of the German album charts, as BROILERS did with their recent album ‘(sic!)’. Contrary to popular belief because of the band name, BROILERS do not stem from the Eastern part of Germany, but they are from Düsseldorf - the same city as DIE TOTEN HOSEN.
