  • Private Dick

  • A violent dream

    The skinny: Dense atmospheres with a banshee wail. The review proper: Yeah, I like it a lot.  So beware, a gushing follows after the jump.

  • Interview – Bromheads

    First time we heard about Bromheads was due to one of our writer’s watching their slightly chaotic show in DQ during Tramlines 2009. Since said writer (name rhymes with Spam) is a big fan of the band, we managed to get a quick interview with Tim (guitar, voice) and Dan (drums), who were kind enough…

  • Ogden – more than meets the eye (part 1)

    Ogden is full of surprises. From the moment I moved here, I became obsessed with Ogden’s bustling music scene. There are so many amazing metal and country bands, but today I am going to give you the lowdown on Ogden’s indie folk music scene.

  • Paving Stones – Jay Leighton

    Paving Stones is our brand new column where we talk about new bands and artists we find (or they find us). Check it every week, with a free mp3 included! You can submit stuff too, if you want to. Jay Leighton

Man, I want to travel on a train right now! Links for Ensemble Website. Facebook. Myspace. Spotify. Website (old version). Special thanks to Ash…

  • Interview – The Monicans

    The Monicans is one of those bands I’ve heard a lot about from other bands in Sheffield, sort of a band’s band. Their psychedelic, seedy music is pretty rocking and talking with them was quite fun. Check out this rather strange conversation, with a rather weird joke which went nowhere (my fault, really).

  • Third time’s a charm

    Chikita Violenta – Tre3s. The Skinny : Mexican curious (no me vas a decir). The Review Proper: Chikita Violenta, a Mexican band band that chose to sing in English and do some breezy Indie, offers a new album, called Tre3s.

  • The metamorphosis of a band

    Wheatus – Pop, songs & death: Vol. 2 – The Jupiter EP The Skinny: Progeatus! The Review proper: “In the words of the Virgin Mary: Come again?”
