Post rock at its best, by bands like Mono, has something about it that can elevate the everyday into the sublime.»
Let's hope such adulation hurries her return.»
Fifteen years ago, this stuff sold by the truck load. The audiences have moved on, grown up.»
As an insight to a world within a world of black American music, Personal Space elicits interest. As a compilation, it fails to sustain it very long.»
There isn’t enough of what Memoryhouse are in themselves to really separate them from all the other dream pop bands you’ve never heard.»
I've only ever heard one semi-commercially released bootleg that sounded anywhere near this bad, and that was made in Chelmsford Prison in the Seventies.»
"Welcome to Premier Inn. How are you today?" The man is wearing a waistcoat and a well practiced smile. He is excellent at his job, and in moments we are seated in comfortable chairs in the downstairs bar. This is the sort of bar where nothing really wild»
There is satisfaction to be had here, but more than a notion that there was a better album to be had than the one on offer here.»
Whether you come to this album fresh, or as a former fan of some other bands the members used to be in, Wild Flag offers a lot to the listener.»
What it lacks in energy, it makes up for with heart, and genuine emotion.»
Only when the end nears does Last Words remind you why Screaming Trees were special.»
"...and he's such a nice bloke." I'm eavesdropping a conversation in the morning, about how lovely Tony Iommi is. He'll need to be, I think. He's about to get asked when Sabbath are reforming twenty times in a row. Another thing I overhear sticks in my head all day. "When I was shaking his hand, I realised... I'm touching The Hand of Doom!" »
DiS visits a fascinating Metal exhibition, and is lucky enough to have a chance to sit down Mark Wilkinson. He's an artist who helped to visually define the works of one of the leading lights of British Metal in the 1980's - Judas Priest. »
On the whole, the reissue is a historical time capsule, padded with endless ephemera. It doesn't detract too much from the core work , arguably the greatest British album of the Nineties. But a little more quality control would have gone a long way to making this album an essential purchase for people who don't sleep with a Suede poster in their bedroom.»
There's something that underpins all teen rebellion. Whatever you do, it has to be something your parents don't like. Playing loud»
There are a few moments on this album where True Widow get it so right musically, you'll probably find yourself air-punching in simple appreciation.»
Straightforward and template driven.»
A solid addition to Greenwood's burgeoning catalogue, and worthy of a listen in its own right.»
By breaking the rules of what they were supposed to sound like, The Get Up Kids have given themselves a second bite of the cherry. More power to them.»
From being touted as the New Springsteen to being next to nowhere in five years flat. That would appear to be the very definition of diminishing returns.»
If you want to look back on a legendary band peaking, or even if you just want a place to start, this is it. Welcome to The Fall.»
A venue is the sum of its parts. Some are spit and sawdust, while some are beautiful, ornate places. The Shepherds Bush Empire always fell more into the latter category for me, at least if you were facing the stage. The place still has the music hall aura»
The mythos that surrounds the recording of Kill City may give it a little more interest and flavour for fans, but unless you're a die hard, this is one reissue that you can probably afford to miss.»
The highlights will bolster their setlists, the rest will clog up your hard drive.»
Like many a début, it could have been more, but regardless of this Star of Love is an auspicious start.»
Wednesday 12th August The plane touches down in Hungary, and the passengers walk onto the airport tarmac. The first thing they notice, once they stop hugging the tarmac and thanking their God that they're alive, is the heat. It's 37 degrees Celsius and t»
While sometimes The Final Frontier seems to mine the Iron Maiden groove until the canary chirps its last, the better songs are an indication that they aren't yet trading solely on their reputation.»
What's that you say? Hungarians can't rock? DiS's Tom Perry begs to differ as he offers a preview of this year's righteous-looking Sziget festival.»
It's like being fed delicious cookies by a terrifying, calculating machine, and what's worse is that it's an oddly comforting experience.»
Towards the end, even the most hardened listener might find their attention waver a touch as the last four songs sneak Lives over the finish line. »
