Manchester-based dark-pop duo Shield Patterns have unveiled a video for new track Ruby Red. The song is taken from their debut album Contour Lines which was released via Gizeh Records earlier in the year.
Shield Patterns, the Manchester-based duo of Claire Brentnall and Richard Knox, create intense, infectious and incredibly detailed dark-pop music. Debut album ‘Contour Lines’ was released in June via Gizeh Records and has gathered heavy praise from the press including a five star review from The Skinny magazine.
The project started life in late 2012 with Brentnall working alone on a bunch of home recorded demos. A chance meeting with Knox at her first ever solo show was enough to form an interest in working together in some capacity. Just a few months later and the duo were performing live together whilst also working on the beginnings of new material that would finally form the debut album. After retiring to the wilderness and isolation of the North Wales countryside, that album was finally complete.
There is a resolutely unique sound to the music Shield Patterns make. A lush, fragile and rich soundworld… like falling - slowly, gracefully, and not without hope, but still falling; a white shape in the darkness tumbling downwards.
The 7th Fast & Furious will be out on 1st April 2015, even if many film fans will hope it's an April Fool's Day-joke.
The film, which finds Diesel’s Dom and the rest of the gang dealing with the fallout from stopping Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) in the last film, aims to keep the franchise’s burgeoning reputation for mad car stunts and other action alight with James Wan stepping in behind the camera.
Universal has announced via the film’s Facebook page that a trailer reveal will be happening in Los Angeles at an event that will also be broadcast online.
Bad Pollyanna & Sophie Lancaster Foundation Launch 'Invincible Girl' Marking 7th Anniversary Of Tragic Murder
Alternative Rock Band Bad Pollyanna have joined forces with The Sophie Lancaster Foundation and cult makeup brand Illamasqua for their poignant charity song 'Invincible Girl' commemorating the seventh anniversary of the brutal murder of Sophie Lancaster.
Sylvia Lancaster, mother of murder victim Sophie, founded the Sophie Lancaster Foundation in order to honor her memory, provide education and raise awareness, and to challenge prejudice and intolerance towards people from alternative subcultures.
“To say that everyone at The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is extremely excited about this track is an understatement. We all feel that seven years is an appropriate milestone to celebrate the strength and courage Sophie’s death has given us to slowly but surely change the world. The proceeds and awareness from this charity single will help us continue our crucial work”.
- Sylvia Lancaster
Bad Pollyanna's 'Invincible Girl' is available to purchase on digital download and will be released on collectable, limited-edition 12 inch vinyl – in Sophie’s favorite hue, purple.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 21st century, the century of all crisis: political, moral, economical, ecological and individual. It is now 14 years old, but it is already old and dying.

A heavy electronic masterpiece due to its intensity and rich melodies.
