Rule #1 of the PR company: If no stand out tracks are available when choosing the third single release from a number one album of a very famous band, maintain composure, breathe in, cover the CD casing in something shiny and hope it’ll attract kids like magpies. 'Love Foolosophy' by »
Tonight the Astoria's triple assemblage of ska-punk-power-rock-misfits has gathered the many varied peoples of the punk rock fraternity to an all encumbering post-exam, pre-Festival mosh fest, in all its glory. The Astoria buzzes, as is usual at many a punk gig, with fuzzed up, ‘cola’ drinking, rizla smoking, teens (so»
If I were a PR company I’d say this band were ‘an amalgamation of punk rock ethics and teeny bopping antics’. However - as some of you will know, I am not… Charlies Angels is… ‘Mindless meaningless lollipop licking cheeky sass-drivel for the preteen generation - too soft for dog collars, too naï»
The Peel Pub in Kingston has played heart to a thriving local music scene for many years, publicising and praising unrecognised talent in its infancy. Providing bands with support slots on the tail of better known groups, as well as rehearsal space and lots of advertising mean that bands respect and grow to love this m»
The Pilot E.P. is absolutely, undoubtedly, immeasurably, one of the best debut releases I’ve ever heard! From the opening note of the delicious introduction to Reuben, ‘Alpha Signal Seven’ to the final heart rendering piano chord of hidden track, ‘Shambles’ you just want to wrap your arms around this band and feel the »
As we all know, backstage is the coolest place in the world.

Backstage is rock utopia. It is also disorganized chaos - all in the »
It’s nice to see that despite the huge infesting interest for Nu-Metal of late, some labels are still prepared to introduce bands bearing a little more towards the indie-rock side of things. ‘27’ is Biffy Clyro’s debut E.P. for Beggars Banquet who describe them as an “aggressive popcore outfit” from Glasgow. Agg»
Sunlounger are a powerful, direct and musically pungent rock band. They generate maximum riffage through screaming singer, irate bassist and mental drummer but they, unfortunately for themselves, are unable to stimulate or excite like any half-decent rock band should. Sunlounger are bland, dull and irritating. Their so»
Of the people I talk to who know the Llama Farmers exist, many if not all of them totally respect the post-grunge groove of this awesome four piece. Unfortunately for the Llama’s however, many of these people would never, on any account, envisage setting off to the back roads of, lets say, Camden – The Underworld for e»
Jim Carrey is a funny man who makes funny movies with no plot. Simply by waving his arms around in an insane manner and gesticulating during what would appear to be sporadic convulsions, Carrey can generate laughter. Throw in a few cheap jokes, the occasional smutty pun and some pictures of dog turd and you have the pe»
Whilst I was at the Reading festival this year, I couldn’t help but notice the buzz behind some of the bands on the bill. Limp Bizkit featured highly of course, along with Slipknot and all the other nu-metal bands of the moment. People had been prepping themselves for weeks about checking out exactly what the pig»
