Love Ends Disaster!, Settlefish at London Barden's Boudoir, Wed 25 May
When Nottingham's Love Ends Disaster hit their stride, they're bang on. Settlefish aren't short on potential either, but they have a disappointing habit of detonating their songs with fantastic bouts of noise, only for things to settle into a furrow of unremarkability. They can do better than this, but it feels distinctly like they're holding back.»
Enablers at London Barden's Boudoir, Fri 03 Jun
Every song begins like a piece of crumpled newspaper - a page torn from a literary glimpse into a bigger picture, into a world of hopes and dreams dashed like so much beer spilt across a bar.»
Wolf Eyes, Duracell at Barden's Boudoir, Hackney, Sat 11 Jun
Tonight, Barden's hosts an endurance test of ghastly extremes. The experience is at first akin to A Clockwork Orange's famous eyelid-clamping scene - turn where you will, the experience is inescapable.

You keep your rock and I’ll keep mine, ta. Mine knows how to, y’see. What can yours do? ‘Very Ape’. Oh sure, ha ha, clever clever. Fuck you...»
Yeasayer, Psychedelic Horseshit, Pink Reason at Barden's Boudoir, Hackney, Tue 04 Mar
Adored by many since the release of All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer take to the stage with a rapturous welcome from the audience, and zip through their ‘jams’ with a crystal clear sound»
Dananananaykroyd at London Barden's Boudoir, Thu 13 Mar
A six-headed beast of a band replete with delirious smiles and gloriously infectious stage presence, Glasgow's Dananananaykroyd display the sort of gusto and verve DiS hasn’t seen in, well, forever»
The Ruby Suns at London Barden's Boudoir, Tue 27 May
You don’t listen to The Ruby Suns, not like you do most bands at most gigs. They’re up there, playing music, but the way this music is communicated feels unreal»
