Nately's Whore's Kid Sister / Ribs
EP Review
“How dare you! How very fuck'n dare you....Richard Dawkins?..Richard fuckin' wankers, challenge me...You think you're clever...I will fuck you up... I will intellectually spin you around completely.”  'Man outside...
Gringo Star
First Look
Gringo Star / You Want It
Atlanta's Gringo Star follow up 2008′s 'All Y’all’ with new album 'Count Yer Lucky Stars' on 30 April.   They've chosen 'You Want It' as a preview of the album.  Listen below; I was quite taken...
Toy / Manchester Soup Kitchen
Gig
Toy
Arriving early I quaffed a swift Guinness in the Dry Bar and took to the streets of the Northern Quarter, indulging in a little evening pre-gig derivé. My drifting took me towards the venue, which was lined with a gaggle of paisley shirted...
Mummy Short Arms / Silicone Dream
First Look
Mummy Short Arms / Silicone Dream
Noisy alt-pop from Glasgow's Mummy Short Arms.  The fuzzy bounce and cracked Frank Black / David Yow vocals make for a big sugar hit with an aftertaste of warm moonshine.  It should fill slippy indie dancefloors nationwide.   This...
Kick To Kill
First Look
Kick To Kill / Avalanche
Glasgow's Kick to Kill are bubbling away nicely and getting quite a bit of attention at the moment.  Here's the new track 'Avalanche'. They've earned comparisons to countless post-punk and gloom-rock luminaries, but I'll...
Hayley Mary The Jezabels
Gig
There have been a string of Aussie acts who've 'made it' in the UK, from pop purveyors Kylie and Jason to rock acts like The Vines and Wolfmother, and rather shyly singer Hayley Mary didn't think that her Sydney based band fell into...
TOKOLOSH
Gig
John Rylands Library, music, a handful of Manchster's greatest purveryors of such a thing – count us in. What a mind-blowing building to be visiting, and for the first ever gig in the space, what an honour. And an honour to be at the first...
BOTW / White Swallow
Band of the week
Not the 80's aftershave or the porn search criteria. White Swallow the rock duo deal in melodic stomp and barbarian amp destruction with more hooks than a velcro front door. The verses are tuneful and droll, the choruses stomp on the pedal and...
Damn Vandals / The Beautiful Mind EP
EP Stubble - Unsigned
Damn Vandals / The Beautiful Mind EP
Damn those Vandals. Perusing the internet for some background information on the band is a thankless affair. No biography as far as I can venture...a deliberate ploy perhaps? Are they playing the mystery card in an attempt to appear elusive and...
Last Days of Lorca EP
EP Review
Last Days of Lorca / Last Days of Lorca EP
Brighton's Last days of Lorca make melodic, sweeping enormodrome rock and carve an edge into it by harnessing the angular capriciousness of 'De-loused in the Comatorium'-era Mars Volta.   Strangely, for all the frenetic, super-tight...
