A Month In Records: November 2006

In Depth by Mike Diver

Time, dear friends, is ticking away; it feels like only yesterday that DiS was chomping on Easter Eggs, but Christmas is only days away. Terrifying, isn’t it? Us we-haven’t-shopped-yet sorts certainly think so. But November's records: there were some, some good ones, and here are some of those some...»

DiS is 6! Our 66, part 2

In Depth by Mike Diver

So here we are, fellow travellers through the last six years of DiS’s favourite sounds: part two of Our 66. Believe you me, this section – which collects together the albums we’ve placed at numbers 44 to 21 – was no easier to assemble than the preceding chapter (click here if you’re yet to look over our selections from 66 to 45).

They won’t, of course – we’re too shy for that. Festival-wise, there is but one event that truly whets the insatiable appetite of the indie boy: All Tomorrow’s Parties...»

ReDiScover: The Blood Brothers

In Depth by Mike Diver

The Blood Brothers formed in 1997, although their debut, This Adultery Is Ripe, only emerged in 2000. Four albums in four years (a fifth has been delayed, no doubt by members’ side projects) is some standard of productivity, and the quality’s only increased from record to record...»
