I missed music news last week, so here's a round up of the last two...

New Labrinth Video
This week Labrinth released a new music video for his single Treatment. Treatment is from the album Electronic Earth which is out now.

Madness Talk New Album
Since 2011, Madness have been hinting at a new album. But this week the band announced via their online newsletter that they would released a track from the upcoming album, which will be available to download for free from the newsletter. So sign up now!
Madness have also added a new date to their tour. They will play at the London O2 on December 22nd.

Ellie Goulding Announces New Album And Single
Last week, the hugely successful Ellie Goulding announced her upcoming album Halcyon, which will be released on the 8th October. The album will feature Goulding's recent cover of Hanging On (below) and her upcoming single Anything Could Happen, which will be released on the 30th September.

And that's your fill for the last couple of weeks. No review to go with it, but will hopefully have something Doctor Who related for you soon. See you tomorrow for TV.

Isle Of Wight Festival

With no Glastonbury to contend with, Isle Of Wight was big this year. My favourite acts were Elbow and Bruce Springsteen. For highlights of the weekend, click here.

Labrinth Announces New Single

Labrinth announced that Treatment from his debut album Electronic Earth would be his new single. The music video has been filmed and will be on the web very soon (so will probably feature in next weeks news).  Labrinth also appeared in BBC's Project Hackney documentary alongside Plan B and Leona Lewis.


The Fratellis Reunited
This story is actually a bit old now, but it's all news to me. The Fratellis were a cheeky rock band who were most famous for their album Costello Music which the famous track Chelsea Dagger came from. The band reformed for a charity gig earlier this month, and they will be doing more gigs, dates for which are gradually being released. Yesterday, the band announced a gig in Glasgow on the 26th September.

Happy Birthday!
Best wishes to guitarist Jeff Beck who turned 68 yesterday.


And that's all for this week. Let us know what you think, especially your favourite acts at IoW, in the comments.
