Following the release of their debut album, 'From Here On In', South release 'Keep Close'. The press release says it sounds like 'futuristic funk rock'... hmm, I think it sounds like something between Alfie and The Mull Historical Society. Maybe the rest of the album is funk rock, but this isn't at all. I»
I was reluctant to listen to this album and had practically written it off already because I read that Noel Gallagher was the producer. Not the best attitude for a reviewer, but I am not the biggest Oasis fan (if you hadn't guessed already!) and I thought that this was going to be Oasis : The New Breed... kind of like»
With the gig to start at 8pm, I was suprised to hear My Vitriol still soundchecking at 7.45pm. I guessed that this meant that the gig wouldn't start until 8.30. I was right. My Vitriol take the stage to a generally unappreciative audience who are just there to see the headline act, Wilt. Howe»
Probably the best track from Everclear's latest album, 'Songs From An American Movie Vol II: Good Time For A Bad Attitude'. However, that doesn't mean to say it is that good. It's ok, but it doesn't really seem to go anywhere. It just sounds 'samey' all the way through. I mean, it has nice power chords going on, that w»

I walk into the Brighton centre with my friend Ian who is going to be recording the interview. We ask for the tour manager, and next thing you know, we are in the dressing room about t»
Following a residency at London's Camden Underworld, Alabama 3 release Mansion On The Hill, an interesting mix of sounds including acid house...with definite Elvis influences. Mansion On The Hill is a cool upbeat tune, with a sound that you know will be going around in your head, even if you don't w»
I bought Finelines purely for the reason that I was going to meet the band and get the album signed at their free Virgin Megastore gig in London. I had only heard "Always: Your Way" prior to the gig, but since bringing the album home, it hasn't left my cd player. I have never been so taken aback by an album since I hea»
