The Duke Spirit - Cuts Across The Land
Highlights are abundant but inconsistent – rollicking garage-rock monsters smash and slash into one’s ears only for a handful of sexy and soulful numbers to soothe the substantial burn. Sounds great on paper, but Cuts Across The Land possesses no real feeling of cohesion...»
Sons And Daughters do instores; release The Repulsion Box
Sons And Daughters play a series of instore shows this month to promote their new single...»
Fantomas - Suspended Animation
...rampant run-throughs of what Looney Tunes would sound like if Bugs Bunny’s high-jinx were soundtracked by The Locust...»

Constantines: Canada, peaks and valleys and pregnancies...

Itch, Various, Jeniferever, Chariots - All The Better To Eat You With, My Dear
As a coherent piece it doesn't work, but once broken into its core components, All The Better... becomes a highly recommended release. It probably only costs a few quid, too.
Features new DiS Records signing Jeniferever (debut album due later this year).»
Weird War - Illuminated By The Light
Where was I when Weird War decided to camp it up and become the 21st Century's T-Rex?»
A-Frames - Black Forest
Black Forest is the sound of 1992 fast-forwarded to the present via an accidental diversion through the burnt-out landscapes of the ever encroaching future. Guitars fuzz and fizz whilst drumbeats come on in military fashion, regimented and rigid...»
Investigate, Explore: Research (on tour)
Wakefield indie rawk 'n' bowlers The Research take their quirk-pop hooks on the road, like, now.»
Billy Bragg live album on sale Friday
Billy Bragg releases a download-only live album this Friday (6th May).»
Vanlustbäder - Power Makes Sense
Vanlustbäder: Aussies with a penchant for powerful garage rock riffs and a taste for all things retro. A comparison to a three-lettered outfit of a similar ilk is unavoidable...»
Pack up your Snakes: These Arms Are on tour
Seattle-based punks These Arms Are Snakes bring their atmospheric sounds to the UK really soon.»
Dragonflies Draw Flame - Eyes Closed; Asleep In The Storm
Fans of the indie end of the Big Scary Monsters spectrum and of the Subjugation releases of old are advised to investigate these guys immediately.»
The Duke Spirit - Love Is An Unfamiliar Name
The Duke Spirit, for all their press attention and live prowess, have never really released a single that fully grabbed the listener. 'Til now...»
Eels - Hey Man (Now You're Really Living)
Ultimately this isn't the single to sell the accompanying album in question - the two are very different beasts in the cold light of the bigger picture - but in terms of FM-friendly indie rock efforts this'll do just fine.»
Rise Against, The Lucky Nine, Fightstar, Alexisonfire at Alexandra Palace, Tottenham, Mon 02 May
Give It A Name... The concept's simple: rock bands from the emo-slash-post-hardcore spectrum of Kerrang!'s weekly content bring their heart-on-sleeve histrionics to London's greenest borough and keep the aforementioned Scuzz-schooled jailbaits entertained for the duration of a Bank Holiday, allowing mum and dad to indulge in some D.I.Y. or whatever.»

The Notwist, themselves, 13&God - 13&God
Pencilling fine lines between the parallel worlds of independent hip-hop and the ice-cool continental underground, 13&God are a meeting of minds – on the left, the Notwist; the right, themselves.»
Her Space Holiday - The Young Machines (Remixed)
It almost seems wrong that Marc Bianchi can release this under his Her Space Holiday moniker, so different are the tracks (sometimes) from their two-year-old templates.»
Anti-racism gig requires help
The Love Music Hate Racism gig to be held in Trafalgar Square this Sunday (May 1st) requires volunteers.»
Juliette And The Licks - You're Speaking My Language
This is a misguided attempt at credibility: the songs simply don’t have legs regardless of Lewis' snotty enthusiasm, and fall waywardly towards irrelevance as soon as their generic sounds have departed one's airspace.»
Enablers tour; intensity expected
Quite, quite brilliant spoken-word rock quartet Enablers return to the UK in late May, following a series of continental dates.»
Saul Williams - Saul Williams
Mouth-agape stunned faces. Puzzled looks and pounding feet. Quizzical expressions. Poetic licenses torn into quarters. No man has the right to rhyme this well.»
Chalets news spew: website, album, tigers...
The Chalets, the best band in the world named after some gaff that you might crash at whilst on holiday, perhaps, have some news. And here it is...»
Transistor Transistor, Fuck U Is My Name at London Tottenham Swan, Wed 20 Apr
