Okay, Music Monday will be undergoing a slight change as from this week.
Instead of reviewing full albums from one band, I’m going to start reviewing 5 individual songs a week, sometimes with a few more details about the band in question.
And how will I decide? Obviously, I will be using the iTunes random shuffle technique. [...]

I bet you’re thinking ‘An Horse’? But that’s incorrect grammar.
Oh, just me then?
Well I have no idea why they named their band in such an odd way, but they’re pretty quirky and awesome anyways.
But does their first full-length studio album match their personalities?
Track #1: Camp Out – The band actually performed this song on the [...]

I’ll have to admit, Mumford & Sons are easily becoming one of my favourite new bands of this year.
As I write this, their album ‘Sigh No More’ is number 7 in the iTunes chart, so they must be doing something right, right?
Let’s see…
Track #1: Sigh No More – Many people have said that Mumford are [...]

I thought it was about time that I reviewed a brand new album for all you Wigglers.
You can’t get any newer than this: out today is new folktronic popstrel Ellie Goulding’s debut studio album.
And here we are, reviewing it on the Wiggle. It was just last week that she was awarded the Critic’s Choice Award [...]

Especially when one of your friends finds their album in a charity shop for £1.99 and buys it for you. Which is exactly what happened when I got this CD.
Maps are a Northampton-based band and We Can Create was their first studio album. One of the songs on [...]

I’m guessing quite a lot of people know who Placebo are… If you don’t, well I suggest you get your google on.
No, that picture the right isn’t a form of strange, distorted pornography, it’s actually the album cover. Don’t know why they chose it though, you’ll have to ask them…
There are some pretty disturbing photos [...]

Kate Nash. Rhymes with mash, flash and ‘tache.
In case you didn’t already know.
I’m not sure that Kate really needs any introduction, especially to those of you living in the UK. Ms. Nash had smash hit singles in Britain with ‘Foundations’, ‘Mouthwash’ and the delightful ‘Pumpkin Soup’.
Let’s see if her album matches up to her single [...]

To be honest, any British band based in Brighton gets my vote.
Colour It In is their first album and the only album I have. Someone actually bought me it for Valentine’s Day, but you don’t want to know about that…
So, is it a good listen or not?
Track #1: Good Old Bill – Love the drums [...]

Paloma Faith was one of 2009's hottest new talents. But is her album all it was hyped up to be?

Yep, it's Monday again! But what does The Wiggle think of the Black Eyed Peas?

Lauren reviews yet another album: Paramore's third.
