  • Saccharine Sunshine

    The Dollyrots – A Little Messed Up The third album from LA-based band The Dollyrots presents the listener with more sunshine than a beach holiday on the Costa Del Sol. It’s not surprising given that the band migrated from the ‘Sunshine State’ (that’s Florida to you and me folks – Ed) to California; the album…

  • Edible – The Tommy Blank Column

    Edible – The Tommy Blank Column Why the Environment is the Biggest Threat to Employment. Kind of. That got your attention didn’t it. This, Sloucherites is, by any nature of the word, far-fetched. But allow me to enlighten.

  • An apocalyptic album

    Fuzzy Lights – Twin Feathers The Skinny:Scary. Get behind a sofa and listen to it. But cuddle afterwards. The Review proper: Well, actually it’s not that scary. It’s more like introspection. Like a way old mirror that might offer a not-so-clear reflection. Or maybe the sensation you get when you look at yourself at the…

  • Spamalot @ Sheffield Lyceum

    Spamalot @ The Lyceum, September 7. Plot King Arthur and his loyal steed, Patsy, ride the lands of Finland England with a pair of coconuts, a bunch of jokey characters and a merciless barrage of jokes, some of them skewering musical sensibilities. Oh, and they are on a mission from God to find a cup.…

  • I’m totally down with Rob’s band

    Brontide + Tall Ships + Minus the Bear = FUN. (Editor’s note: due to a schedule problem, Brontide couldn’t be reviewed. Sorry.) They say that you shouldn’t meet your heroes, as the expectations can be so high that the reality will never measure to whatever mental image you’ve made in your head. Dunno who ‘they’…

  • The Harley Four

    Yonderboy + Hey Sholay + Alvarez Kings + Bromheads @ The Harley, August 28th, 2010 A four band show was done by Xray Horse Music on saturday the 28th at The Harley (now with more gin), under the consolidating flag of good tunes for a big audience that pretty much packed the place. So much…

  • Songs of a sunny Perestroika sunday

    Someone still loves you Boris Yeltsin – Let it Sway The Skinny : Bubbly, fun and actually awesome. The review gushing proper: Actually, could I persuade you to get this free song before?  Take it as evidence. Or just press play before reading what follows. There ya go. And if you like it, you can…

  • Wake up song(147)-Is I Cinema

    Great and creepy song from this group that I just can’t get enough of. Have a great week.

  • Happy hour at The Grapes

    Electric Tape Recorder, The Unfortunate Incident and Pisco Sour Hour @ The Grapes Pisco, the lovely people behind themed-shows at The Grapes, offered a night of varied acts. The motif for the night? Bad luck, it seems, as there were mock broken mirrors, black cats, open umbrellas, stairs and a copy of Tony Blair’s memoir.…

  • Clouds of Rye

    (Editor’s note: you can listen to this album in Bandcamp while reading this) The skinny : a series of recordings done over several years that feel like they were done seamlessly on one session. The review proper: ‘A seafarer’s lament’. That’s the name of the first song of Wave and Cloud, the début album of…
