Bhangra Kings RBD get ready to showcase new tour and album

International Urban group RDB has come a long way in becoming one of the leading South Asian producers, musicians, singers and entertainers in the world, with a huge following in the UK and internationally in India, Pakistan, Middle East, Canada and America. RDB, which was formed in 2000 by three Bradford-based Punjabi Sikh brothers Kuly, Manj and Surj, has radically pioneered the style of British Bhangra by remolding it into a raw urban sound, making their work stand out from the crowd. Their musical influences were shaped at a young age when they were introduced to music by their father, who taught them to sing religious songs and play the harmonium in their Gurdwara (Temple).RDB (Rhythm Dhol Bass) have brought audiences around the world a new genre of music. Bringing different musical styles and genres together and fusing these with South Asian influences is ultimately what comprises the familiar and popular 'RDB sound'. Putting their distinctive musical stamp on the international and UK music scenes, RDB have written, sung, played instruments and produced for countless hit songs, most notably for many A-List Bollywood films, including the cross-urban music track, Shera Di Kaum, which saw them collaborate with Grammy Award winning American artist Ludacris and Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar. Other mainstream collaborations include tracks with Snoop Dogg, Elephant Man and Public Enemy.

Future Of The Left new album 'the plot against common sense' out soon

Future Of The Left are excited to announce that they will release their new record, 'the plot against common sense' on 11th June 2012 through Xtra Mile Recordings in the UK and Europe and on 12th June in North America through Xtra Mile/ILG..Constituting 49.8 minutes of singing, shouting, slinking, smashing and (at times) sobbing, the album is the best thing the band have put their name to in this or any other dimension, a fact which is not open to debate.Recently expanded to a four-piece, initially as a bet, the band originally conceived the record as a Broadway musical based on the recent British phone-hacking scandal but were forced to abandon this idea due to budgetary restrictions. This is not a joke. After writing hundreds of songs fifteen were recorded and placed into an order deliberately selected to exhibit the full dynamic range of the experience, a gift which will be lost to anybody who regularly utilitises the shuffle function on their mp3 player.Recent single 'sheena is a t-shirt salesman' is currently being blasted out across the airways played and championed by Radio 1's Daniel P Carter, Huw Stephens as well as XFM, 6Music and Kerrang! Radio. They are also heading out on an eagerly anticipated headline tour across the UK and Europe. Full dates are as follows:
