Dec 30, 2017 By Mark Redfern

2016 was regarded as a fairly rough year by many, but 2017 was no walk in the park either. 2016 was mired by the deaths of several beloved musical icons (David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, and Sharon Jones among them) and the disappointing and divisive Presidential election, but in 2017 we had to deal with the ramifications of said election (we’d say that roughly 95% of the musicians we interview likely don’t support many, if any, of President Trump’s policies). More

Jul 13, 2017 By Mark Redfern

In the past we’ve avoided posting midyear best albums lists. It seemed somehow impatient and premature to evaluate the year’s albums halfway through. And how do you decide which period the list covers, which arbitrary release date do you work out is the cut off point, as every midyear list seems to cover a different period? But 2017 is a year that demands a partial evaluation. More

The Most Anticipated Albums of 2010 section in Under the Radar‘s Winter 2010 Issue includes a short article on Rose Elinor Dougall’s debut album. We’ve now posted the full Q&A of that interview. In December of 2008, less than a year after leaving the female-fronted Brighton pop group The Pipettes, Rose Elinor Dougall released her first single as a solo artist, “Another Version of Pop Song.” The following February, Dougall blogged on her MySpace page that her debut album was nearly finished. Things seemed to be moving fast for the now London-based singer/songwriter. More

Milestones in life tend to be linked with their corresponding dates. For Rose Elinor Dougall, July 17, 2006 saw the release of her band The Pipettes’ unforgettable debut. At just 20 years old, Dougall cradled an indie-pop treasure in her hands. We Are the Pipettes recalled singles-oriented ’60s girl groups with stunning grace. More

Sep 10, 2010 By Frank Valish

Let’s get something out of the way at the start. Rose Elinor Dougall used to be in The Pipettes, dressing in polka-dotted outfits and singing ‘60s girl group-like pop songs with two similarly outfitted young ladies, bopping in choreographed splendor. Without Why sounds absolutely nothing like The Pipettes. More
