Hey Sholay reveal new video for "Ribcage"
Hey Sholay prefer to be called a collective of musicians, artists and filmmakers fusing left-field pop with raw DIY indie, than a band. The Maccabees, Tame Impala and Foals are some of the comparisons that come to mind here, bands that are constantly progressing whilst maintaining integrity, check out the video for "Ribcage" just below.

[DAILY DOWNLOAD] Hey Sholey - Eyes For Me
Sheffield via Leeds based Hey Sholay have today put up a brand new track, "Eyes For Me", their first in quite a while if you go by their soundcloud account. After most of the band's equipment and gear was stolen some thought they'd have a tough time getting back to the good old days, but we wait no more as "Eyes For Me" is a great piece of Alternative-Rock with some soothing vocals and relaxing guitar hooks.

Festival Review... Underground Festvial @ Gloucester Guildhall, 29th September 2012
Based on how much fun we had last year I knew it would be worth the long drive from Cambridge. This year was better than the last, not bad for a free festival! We open our review by covering a young acoustic act, Emily Jones (pictured) played the BBC Introducing stage and proved why she deserved to be there by giving everyone a powerful performance that can only help her on her way to success.
I stayed in the room to watch Coastal Cities, now we've been following them for a long time on here, ever since we got their début EP way back in 2010. They too played to a full audience, but everyone seemed to be sitting down. The young fans were lapping up everything the band had to offer, yet my friend and I were left a bit saddened with the omission of 'Think Tank'. Still, we enjoyed it none-the-less! Hey Sholay were the first 'big band' that we wanted to see, after the release of their mini-album I had to check out their live performance, boy was I in for a treat. Their live act is amazing, giving fans the chance to participate in the event and with massive sing-a-longs and those sweet Indie-Pop tunes I have to say Bravo to them.
One of the surprises of the day was seeing Lexy in the BBC Introducing room, her powerful vocals memorised the audience who were yet again sitting down. Her band behind her were fantastic. Duolouge were next up and after a slight wait and a bit of a delay the band emerged to give us a unforgettable performance! The crowd were left in awe after their set had finished, it clearly looked like they won over the crowd.
Last Dinosaurs came to play their last UK show, and here the fans were given a treat with a Cure cover and some of their classic songs such as 'Zoom!'. Swim Deep and Peace were next up, the two Birmingham based bands both gave a stellar performance with some band love given to Swim Deep from Peace, this was an amazing duo of bands on. Bastille closed the first night of THE BEST free festival in the UK. We'll be back next year!

Album Review... Hey Sholay - ((O))
The oddly named début album from Hey Sholay; ((O)) is a huge step in the right direction for the Indie-Pop five-some. The Sheffield band have been touring around the UK and have built up a dedicated fan-base, and ever since we were told about them we knew that one day we'd hear something fantastic, and I think now is the time.
The album opens with their signature track 'Wishbone (Wish Wish Wish)', which is a real lesson in how to create an Indie-Pop song that you can never get bored of, with all of the guitar washes, the band show why they're one for the future. The track after is their newest single, 'My Blood' is a slower track compared to the one before but the futuristic sounds in the bridge and the distorted bass in the chorus just makes this track for me. You then get treated to two fantastic tracks in a row, 'Go Easy Tiger' and 'The Bears The Clocks And The Bees', the latter track featured on their first single way back in 2011 and it hasn't lost it's appeal and I found myself loving it as much as ever! 'Go Easy Tiger' is the anthem wedged in the middle of the album, something to put on your playlists for years to come!
'Burning' was a track we got hooked onto since the day we heard it back in May of this year, once again this is a typical Hey Sholay track, the dazzling vocals combined with the background noises and the guitars draping all over it. 'Dreamboat', 'Ol' St Nick' and 'Golden Is The Colour Of The Sun (Run Rabbit)' finish off the album. I remember when I heard 'Ol' St Nick' as a demo earlier on this year, and the final version couldn't be any closer to perfection in my eyes. The album ends on the fabulous nine minute epic, the track is a long one and the title is just as long too, 'Golden Is The Colour Of The Sun (Run Rabbit)' is a great way to end what has been a great début album for the Sheffield band.
As we said back in October 2011 that they were destined for great things and it seems like they are well on the way for greatness! '((O)) is out 17th September.

New Ivory have smashed their way to the top spot on our 'Track of the year' for 2011. They first caught our eyes way back in early June, here is the original post.
They won with 345 votes out of the 1045 cast. A close second place is the best performing international act for the second year running, and third was a close battle between two bands that are very close to each others hearts, Safari and VOWS.
Here is a run down of the top 5:
2nd - In Golden Tears - Urban Emotions
3rd - Safari - So I See
4th - VOWS - Colours
5th - Films Of Colour - Actions
The rest (in no particular order)
The Spires - Fireworks
Is Tropical - South Pacific
Peace - Bblood
Rapids! - Littleblood
Waylayers - Hear No Lies
I Heart Sharks - Neuzeit
Hey Sholay - Wishbone
This has been a fantastic year for me and all of my contributors.
We all wish you a very happy new year and have a great 2012, I know I will.

Track of the week... Hey Sholay - Wishbone
A lovely 5 piece Folk/Indie-Rock band from the Sheffield and Leeds area of the UK. They craft sweet harmonies with light riffs, a brilliant clunky bass and foot tapingly brilliant drums. They have had a brilliant year with them band seeing themselves support Crystal Antlers and the fabulous Cave Painting.
After hearing their last single 'Dreamboat/The Bears, The Clocks, The Bees', I then fell in love with the band and found a download link of 'Wishbone', this cemented them into my hard-drive for ever with the guitars and vocals toying with my ears, the fantastic effects they add into the track, the distortion on the guitar in the background and the the nice folky touch towards the end of the track. I am certain that 2012 will be an even better year for this band, with plays on the radio already, next year will be the year they get into the world!

Introducing... Hey Sholay
A lovely 5 piece Folk/Indie-Rock band from the Sheffield and Leeds area of the UK. They craft sweet harmonies with light riffs, a brilliant clunky bass and foot tapingly brilliant drums. They have just came off a tour with Crystal Antlers and are now finishing their tour off supporting the fabulous Cave Painting.
But enough of the other bands, you want to hear more of Hey Sholay right! They currently have a single out on iTunes - "Dreamboat / The Bears, The Clocks, The Bees" - and you can stream 'Dreamboat' below the post. I'd keep a close eye on them as they are going to be big in 2012, why? Because their album is going to be out, and judging by the critics that reviewed their début single, this will be amazing!
Tour dates:
05 Oct - AlterEgo, Bristol (w/ My Other Life)
06 Oct - The Castle, Manchester (w/ Cave Painting)
08 Oct - The Bridge Hotel, Newcastle (w My Other Life)
11 Oct - Borderline, London (w/ The Crookes)
21st Oct - Stone Roses, York
