Time For T debut "Rescue Plane" [IAI PREMIERE]

Brand new video from our favourite Brighton 'tropical world-alternative folk' band Time For T. Although with new song 'Rescue Plane' we see a slightly heavier, raw side to them but then with a nod in the outro to their sun shimmering sound. The song talks about yearning and long distant relationships.

Frontman Tiago Saga is known to break into a Ian Curtis style frenzy when performing this song shouting, "now they're at war with their distance" then breaking the seriousness with the cheeky line "rescue planes crash too, then you need a rescue plane for the rescue plane rescue".

Time For T love performing live and gathering an army of fans everywhere they go. Last year against the will of their friends and families, they played in Beirut a week after the attacks to a highly appreciative audience. They are back on the road this summer with a widely extensive tour around the UK and Europe. 'Rescue Plane' is out today and available to purchase digitally everywhere.

Joy Division Twitter account angers Peter Hook

Another person who wasn't happy with the move was Joy Division's bass player Peter Hook who took to Twitter to vent his anger:

Unknown Pleasures - 35 years on

In 1979 Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister. In 1979 the Khmer Rouge were defeated in Cambodia by the Vietnamese. In 1979 the Islamic Revolution started in Iran.

And, 35 years ago, Joy Division released their debut album "Unknown Pleasures". Although the album wasn't that successful after its release, it is now one of the most important and influential albums of music history. The post punk sound saw in a new era in British music, and, 35 years on still inspires bands.

From the amazing songs to the iconic artwork: Unknown Pleasures is surrounded by a mysterious feel only magnified by Curtis' early death. Perhaps this is why even today teenagers regularly fall in love with the band. Whatever the reason: Happy Birthday, Unknown Pleasures!
And a massive thank you to Joy Division!

- "Unknown Pleasures" was released on June 15th 1979 -
