RECORD OF THE WEEK - MONA, Trouble on the Way

IS it time for a new rock Supergroup?
Mona’s leading the contenders on this one.
‘Course it’s almost their birthright, coming from Nashville, Tenessee, so expectations are high.
Trouble on the Way is simple, snappy, immediately memorable but it’s frontman Nick Brown who holds their not-so-secret weapon – stunning, stadium-ready vocals.
They play Hoxton Bar and Kitchen on December 7.

RECORD OF THE WEEK - EMINEM ft RIHANNA, Love the Way You Lie

WHOEVER thought Scottish hobbit/Lost actor/Flashforward scientist Dominic Monaghan would look good alongside Megan Fox in the violent, passionate, tempestuous video for Love the Way You Lie, was inspired.
A menacing, heavily tattooed Monaghan fits the role precisely, while incredible shots capture every minute facial motion as he and Fox clash in this tale of a couple who thrive on manipulation, mind-games, and pushing each other to mutual violence.
Is this how Eminem - in trad wife-beater vest - sees himself?
The close-ups of Rihanna, who duets with Eminem on this single, are intense and frightening, inner torment etched across her pained visage, reliving a subject all too uncomfortably familiar.
Love, love, love this video.
