Football Manager 2014 Release Date Announced

September 19, 2013 by Rich Leave a Comment

Football Manager 2014

Sports Interactive has officially announced that Football Manager 2014 is all set for release on October 31st.

Just like last year, a beta version of the game will be made available around 2 weeks prior to the release date for those that pre-order the game to receive early access. The beta will be close to the final release version, however, Sports Interactive will continue working on the game in the fortnight prior to the game’s release so that any bug reports generated during this period can be worked upon ready for the official release date. Any career started during the beta period will be transferable to the full game when it’s released on October 31st.

Having previously only been playable for those working within the Mac and Windows operating systems, Football Manager 2014 will mark the first game in the franchise to also be playable on Linux.

With cloud saving now available, this therefore means that if you have several laptops/computers that you use, you can save your game to the cloud and happily carry on playing the same save on another computer without having to worry about transferring the files from computer to computer every time you want to play your save game on another system. As long as you’re connected to the internet you’ll be able to save your game to the cloud, and this therefore makes things far more straightforward for those that enjoy the game on more than one system.

You can watch the latest official announcement video below to learn more about the new features and functions of Football Manager 2014:

Giants Release Weezer ‘Hashpipe’ Cover for Free Download

September 17, 2013 by Rich Leave a Comment

Giants Hashpipe Weezer Cover

UK punk band Giants have recorded a cover of Weezer’s ‘Hashpipe‘, included on the ‘Nevermind The SOUNDLAB‘ covers compilation which is currently available for free download.

The band had the following to say about their decision to record a Weezer cover:

Weezer were always one of our favourite bands when we were growing up, mainly because they did whatever the hell they wanted with their music and their videos and they never took themselves too seriously, which is something we think there needs to be more of nowadays. We had a lot of fun re-working a classic into our own style by punking it up a bit. Hopefully we didn’t completely piss on it for any die hard Weezer heads out there!

Giants’ ‘Hashpipe‘ cover will also feature on the band’s Double A Side 7″ vinyl which is to be released on September 30th, with the 7″ available for pre-order right now from the Giants Bandcamp page.

Giant Drag commence UK farewell tour this week

September 10, 2013 by Rich Leave a Comment

Giant Drag 2013 UK Tour

Lo-fi alt rockers Giant Drag will be hitting the road for the last time later this week as the band embarks on its final ever UK tour.

Giant Drag’s Annie Hardy had the following to say about the tour and what lies ahead for her in the future:

I want to engage people once again and make the rest of the world care as well. Basically the last couple years of my life were pure hell and I spent it (and my “success” period of GD) a slave to prescription drugs, only to go to rehab last October to get clean. Charlotte Froom and Tennesse Thomas from The Like will be helping me to reform GD for a select few shows to promote the record and say goodbye to the band properly so I can concentrate on my new project Annie Hardy and the Psychos as well as my pet project PnP who will also be finishing up recording EPs with Joe Cardamone of The Icarus Line.

The London date of this final Giant Drag tour will be particularly poignant, a special RIP Giant Drag funeral service complete with commemorative programmes.

Pierce The Veil and Sights & Sounds supporting Bring Me The Horizon on European Tour

September 10, 2013 by Rich 1 Comment

Bring Me The Horizon UK Tour 2013

Bring Me The Horizon will be heading out on tour in late October, starting in the UK before working their way into mainland Europe for a large number of shows that will see them through into December.

Pierce The Veil and Sights & Sounds will be supporting the band on this huge European tour, with Pierce The Veil frontman Vic Fuentes having the following to say about hitting the road with Bring Me The Horizon and Sights & Sounds:

My prediction is that touring Europe / UK with our best friends is going to be insanity every single night! Our last trip of shows over there made for some of some of the craziest and most entertaining nights we have ever had on stage as a band, and we’ve been counting down the days till this next tour. It is also a real honour to share the stage with BMTH in their home country, as well as play for our amazing fans across Europe and even a few other cities we’ve never ventured before. We’ll be hitting the stage with a full production as well as new songs that the UK and Europe have never heard us play live before. So pumped for this tour and can’t wait to see all of our fan’s faces again.
