65daysofstatic, Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + START, Jason And The Astronauts at Buffalo Bar, Islington, Thu 14 Oct
Sometimes it feels like Gentle Giant being battered by the brute strength of Zeppelin at their bombastic best. They play maybe two songs, fleshed out by what must be sections of improvisation, and climax with a shudder felt as far away as Birmingham. Birmingham, Alabama.»

"But I'm a LADY" - Manson to don frock for new flick
Marilyn Manson will don a frock to play the Queen of Hearts in an upcoming remake of Alice In Wonderland.»
Dosh - Pure Trash
If there's a single criticism that can be genuinely levelled at this album, it's that it's a little too nice. But hell, who really cares?»
Rays Of Helios, Airstrip One - Split 7"
It's post hardcore, but not in the glossed-up MTV2 sense.»
Grails - Red Light
Don't we all dream of a better tomorrow? I know I do - every single morning on the tube I drift away to some music or other, wishing myself toward tomorrow in the hope that it doesn't bring with it the exact same experience as today.»

French Kicks - The Trial Of The Century
French Kicks have never quite earned the acclaim they’ve deserved this side of the Atlantic. Over there, they’ve enjoyed a residency on the Carson Daly show; here, a half-full Garage performance. Suffice to say that they’re hardly A-List material in the eyes of the domestic indie-rock rags.»

Tokyo Dragons - Get Em Off
'Get Em Off' is the Tokyo Dragon's second release; I can only assume that the first was better for them to have gotten this far.»
yourcodenameis:milo - Schteeve
If you're sticking to what you know best, great - being one-dimensional is fine. However, get out of your depth and you'll sink into the darkness quicker than Peter Stringfellow goes through g-stringed girls a third his age.»
Isis - Panopticon
This truly is music that lives and breathes like the Earth itself. People speak of the ebb of tides; this has an ebb all of its own. It laps at your ears like the sea does at your feet. It caresses them, before brutally laying them to waste. I never want this feeling to end.»
