SHOWING OFF THEIR GUNS In a parallel universe, the screaming teenage girls in the background below have lined the streets to worship at the feet of Raw Power chief Craig Jennings and [PIAS] cohort Peter Thompson. Alas, in this reality, these eager females are actually waiting patiently for rock heartbreakers Young Guns following a recent gig. Still, that's no reason for the band's manager and label boss not to momentarily snatch the limelight for a cheeky snap. Well played gentlemen, well played indeed.

DISC ASSESSMENT So you’ve bought a fancy new office in London’s Clerkenwell, moved the staff in… but how to celebrate? Throw a humdinger of a party, of course – which is exactly what Bon Iver, SBTRKT and Frank Turner agency CODA did recently. Music Week’s roaming lens caught the group's bosses at the bar. [Left to right] Tom Schroeder, Alex Hardee, Phil Banfield, James Whitting and Rob Challice.


IN THE MODE FOR LOVE Music Week received a welcome dispatch from Depeche Mode’s new album sessions this week – this snap of Martin Gore, band manager Jonathan Kessler and Dave Gahan. We hear big news is on the way about the LP soon enough, ahead of its release in 2013...
