John Q Public hang with their gnomies

CARDIFF punk-rockers John Q Public have uploaded a new music video for their track One by One.

JQP's video features the band dressed up as gnomes, rocking out with various gardening implements. If you're anything like us, you've probably never realised the musical potential of a spade, a hose, a rake and a couple of toadstools.


One by One originally appeared on their 2008 EP Land Ho!, which was released under their previous name - May Contain Nuts.

The band are re-releasing a deluxe edition of Land Ho! on 9 November under their new name, and this time round the EP features two new tracks.

Check out JQP's new video here.

Visit the band's MySpace for more information on the EP release.

Muse play prank on Italian TV

TEIGNMOUTH trio Muse well and truly stitched up an Italian TV presenter when they appeared on Quelli Che Il Calcio recently.

Allegedly, the band were so outraged at being asked to mime on the show, that they decided to play a practical joke on the unsuspecting TV team.


Frontman Matt Belamy swaps places with drummer Dom Howard before miming the entire song in the wrong positions.


What follows is an blundering interview, where Howard continues to pull off his front man role, whilst the presenter remains oblivious to the stitch-up.


See the comical results here, courtesey of Yahoo! Music.

Biffy Clyro say goodbye to Jo Whiley


RADIO 1's Jo Whiley is moving to a new weekend show and Fearne Cotton is due to take her place, but the DJ couldn't leave before completing a Live Lounge tour.


Following a short interview and a tearful presentation of gifts by Scottish band Biffy Clyro, Jo Whiley introduces Biffy Clyro's Live Lounge cover, Ciara and Justin Timberlake's Love Sex Magic.

In what is probably one of the strangest covers since the Arctic Monkeys covered Girls Aloud's Love Machine, Biffy Clyro pull off a convincing and likeable cover of this RnB hit.
