On Tour with Mojo Fury Part One
March 2nd, 2012Do you remember our friends Mojo Fury? The Northern Irish alternative rock band that won the New Blood category sponsored by Original Penguin at the Artrocker Awards and are a favourite of ours. Their music is influenced by the likes of the Beatles and Nine Inch Nails, creating a style which sets them aside from other alt-rocker bands.
Formed of Michael, James, Ciaran and Jerry, the boys are currently touring the UK along with support artists InMe and Lost Alone. We are lucky enough to bring you exclusive behind the scenes photos from their tour so far.
Mojo Fury are touring throughout all of March so be sure to check them out! See their website here for more details.

Artrocker New Blood Festival Part 3 : Laurel Collective
January 25th, 2012We caught up with Laurel Collective before the show for a beer and to play our Chatterbox game which we’re pretty sure they thoroughly enjoyed.
The experimental pop outfit from London, who are set to release their long awaited first album this month, have been very busy boys for the past year with the Artrocker New Blood festival being their first gig of 2012. In addition, the band members also host a festival –‘In The Woods’, held yearly at a secret remote forest location!
We launched head first into an intense game of Chatterbox with the guys. The first question Original Penguin had for the boys was what is their cure for a blinding hangover?
Artrocker New Blood Festival Part 2 : Citizens!
January 25th, 2012In yesterday’s part 1 of our Artrocker New Blood Interviews, we caught up with Paul and George from Foreign Office for a game of Original Penguin Chatterbox. In today’s installment we talk to the boys from Citizens! to  find out a little more about the band.
