Dark Young Hearts is the debut album from frYars (Ben Garrett), a young Londoner with a promising future. The album offers a diverse blend of both genres and themes from alternative, pop and the darker side of electro. Although some might assume that an album attempting so much by someone so young may not deliver all it promises, thankfully frYars has created an album with depth that is both refreshing...

Energy is one of the most imperative aspects of music to the mind. So to find an energetic (in any direction) band unsigned is always appealing. Hailing from the NY Metro area, I'm sure the Tactylics , are another form of guilty pleasure to the ears of many in NYC. Surrounded by a town breeds terrific dark mood or garage, Tactylics may be as cheesey as a unicorn breeding under the great city lights....

There’s nothing better on the planet that stimulates my creative senses and inspires my complicated gaming mind then video games and a good soundtrack. I’m addicted and attracted to music videos, short-films of eye-candy, visual stimulation and at times, even good music. (Hur Hur) Sure, there’s tons of movies that are guilty of being the ultimate piece of cinema that have inspired...

I can't believe noone has already started this thread. I've just got round to watching it and have to say I really enjoyed it though was a bit disappointed as I'd thought it was the usual 3-parter rather than a one-off. It certainly took me back to the late 70s/early 80s, which suddenly seemed soooo long ago and a bit bleak. And didn't people look so young - Depeche Mode looked about 12, especially...

A couple of days ago, Depeche Mode was in Peru, performing in front of a 3,000 strong audience at the Explanada del Estadio Monumental. At the end of the show, after the band performed “Never Let Me Down Again,” frontman Dave Gahan yelled in the microphone something that sounded like “Thank you very much, Chile!” which understandably upset many. The thing is, as Daniel Barassi,...

During the closing song of Depeche Mode's show on Tuesday in Lima, Peru, concertgoers who had been having a fine time up to that point were sent into a tizzy when they thought they heard DM lead singer Dave Gahan bid farewell to the people of neighboring Chile---after all, as the AP helpfully notes, "The South American neighbors are historic rivals who fought a 19th century war and still argue...

At a recent stop in Peru, Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan had a total Spinal Tap moment; he shouted out "Thank you very much Chile." In fairness, most people couldn't pick Peru from Chile, or tell the difference between chili, Chilli (from TLC), Chili's (the restaurant) or Chile, so it's understandable. Also, Lima, where Depeche Mode were performing, is only like a few hundred miles from...

A humble message to Depeche Mode 's tour manager -- perhaps frontman Dave Gahan needs a little geography refresher whilst out on the road? Gahan managed to put his foot in it in front of 30,000 Peruvian fans during the band's show in the country's capital Lima on Tuesday night when he yelled out "Thank you very much, Chile!" It's a little more serious than getting the name of a mid-Western...
