Police sirens wail in the distance, interrupted suddenly by a cheeky barrage of guitar and bass riffage as well as clattering drums, it sets a nice scene, like a contemporary Artful Dodger (Dickens not dance music) surveying his city. The track Hurricane Dolly continues in similar fashion and ...

It is often philosophically quipped that the star that burns brightest burns fastest, and it is certainly pertinent to this release through Audio Antihero, a deserved retrospective physical release of Nosferatu D2 's debut, and only, album. The label was in fact formed for the original ...

It was my first time to actually set foot in London itself rather than fly over and just stopping by at Heathrow. I was so tired after travelling all the way from Newcastle to Kings Cross. Having not been much of a Taylor Swift fan I wasn't sure what to expect from the show. After finding out ...

It's October 1987 and Stephen Morrissey has spent the past five years changing the face of contemporary music forever. He's appeared on TOTP with gladioli emerging from the back of his trousers and The South Bank Show is heralding his recently disbanded band as being wholly unique with the ...

This debut E.P. from Blue Eyed Shark and his band The Experiment is quite an exciting proposition before you even listen to it. From the peculiar but strangely attractive, vibrant front cover to the wonderful design of the CD made to look like a 7 vinyl with realistic grooves Blue Eyed ...

Without knowing anything about this band, I assumed by their ridiculous name that this was going to be some kind of cod-techno from Austria. I wish it was. Sgt. Wolfbanger are a powerpop outfit that gurgle the kind of for-heavens-sake-grow-a-pair music that is seven levels of pathetic below ...

I believe it was the great prophet Haddaway that boldly proclaimed What is love? Baby don't hurt me / Don't hurt me / no more . We chase love like rats after bacon scraps, and when we carelessly lose love we are forlorn, crying into our favourite woollen blankets, with Kenny G in the ...

The Clientele represent a way of listening to music that is sadly in decline. In the age of the MP3, or more specifically the decline of the traditional album, a record like Bonfires on the Heath only exists because of the very gradual build up of a committed fan base. There is nothing ...

The singles chart has always been unrepresentative of a week in music let alone a year. Subject to the fickle fads, and promotional campaigns of a hysterical, celebrity driven Television and media. Even in the inclusion of download sales hasn't halted the slide in quality, topped off by the ...

Where else can you hear djembe, xlylophone, and triangle, and see a grown man dressed as an orange cat all in one night and all for £2.50? Witnessing all this after last week's news of its impending live music closure, hit home with great poignancy how vital, lovely, and above all unique a ...

Interweaving guitar lines mingle menacingly on opening track The Man From the Sleepy Village , the song gradually, carefully builds at first like a particularly eerie Michael Nyman soundtrack before erupting into a maniacal Ennio Morricone -like finale. Ursine Vulpine, who is just one chap ...

Who'd have thought the likes of Hard-Fi and The Ordinary Boys would leave behind a legacy; that Richard Archer and the man known only as Preston were (are?) influential lyricists and not just a couple of well groomed Fred Perry wearing goons. One of the curious features of being a small time ...

I've often debated the point on bands that have quite a political leaning. The main issue people tend to be sceptical about is the whole 'If they're so anti-establishment, why are they with a major label?' debate. To me, I don't question the motives of the bands that make the music, I'm just ...

Following on from the title track's release as part of Tracks For Amnesty in August, this 8 song strong EP gets to show Southampton's six piece folk-pop multi-instrumentalists in more vivid colours.
Leading with the titular song, an (aptly) haunting song with a Yann Tiersen -esque sense ...

Miike Snow's debut confronts me with curiosity. Compiled by two pop-producers and experimental singer/songwriter Andrew Wyatt, I'm not exactly sure what to expect. Based upon their single Animal' , however, I was optimistic and the Swedish three-piece didn't let me down.

As is the way with music journalism, 2009 isn't over yet and publications are already predicting the albums that will be topping end of year polls in 2010. As album info for the first quarter of next year starts to come thick and fast, and the rumour mill speculating albums that might or ...

There are some positives to Attention Thieves, not least of all is their self-deprecating humour that peppers their lengthy press release, however this tongue-in-cheek, wry, erudite attitude hasn't quite managed to infect their music. Opening track Number One Thing starts off like so many ...

There's a peculiar and appealing 80's alternative vibe to Air To Achilles, lead track Holy Ghost marries together synths with a The Cure -like guitar, hollered vocals and rampant drums. It's both as polished and vacuous as the decade's great pop-rock singles but also emotive and powerful come ...
