  • Vitality & Magnetism

    Live Review: Hey Sholay, Supported by The Book Club, & Seize the Chair @ The Forum 09.02.11 I’ll dispense with the boring introduction. First up is Sheffield-based band Seize The Chair, who play an enjoyable brand of chugging geek rock with a distinctly British feel. With a swift drummer, some distortion (talk to Sam about…

  • Mr. Daniels would be proud
