• Of Greek Myths, Medicines and Barren Wastelands

    Lumiere – Fatalismo I tend to have a lot more time and respect for musicians which sing in their mother tongue, instead of simply selling out, hungry for Yanksy bucks. While it’s true that some styles of music seem to suit the English language better, I find there is generally something more honest about a…

    It’s rumoured that there’s a bit of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in all of us. Maybe. Do you feel like the wild one?

  • Alone and outnumbered in the ring

    The Loud – EP Taken from The Loud’s Facebook. The skinny: Noise rock from Liverpool. Emphasis on rock, saturated with the noise.

  • Of nicotine stains and shouting fits

    Smokers Die Younger – X wants the meat The skinny: Uncompromising music that although sounding aggressive, is curiously ear-friendly. The review (proper): As once previously stated in this very zine (warning: incoming shameless plug), Smokers Die Younger are pretty hard to describe (and i’m not even pretending to even know how to categorise them). So…

    It’s rumoured that our lovely Frog LOVES John Denver. And yodelling. Me? I like a good tune and Jacques Cousteau was a good geezer. So, there. Getting friggin’ goosebumps. Big Love Quinto

    Cats:for:Peru – Attack of the Pitching Machine   The skinny: Indie sea of rock with a dark riptide creeping about (will explain later).
