Baddies – Do The Job Baddies – Do The Job

After what seems a long time from first hearing Baddies supporting Reuben just under a year and a half ago, the Southend quartet bring forth their debut album and a quite awful album cover (it’s a mess, looks like a school kid made it with some cardboard and Pritt stick glue!). That night they impressed with the look similar to Kraftwerk (with... [Read more of this review]

Billy Talent – Billy Talent III Billy Talent – Billy Talent III

When Canadian quartet Billy Talent burst through the gates of the post pop-punk scene back in ‘03 with their eponymous debut offering, a ripple of genuine excitement was injected into a somewhat stagnant genre that felt like it was running out of steam. Packed with urgent anthems that oozed passion ‘Billy Talent’ was a slick recording... [Read more of this review]

Black Gold – Rush Black Gold – Rush

It’s hard to have an opinion about Black Gold…the impression that first track ‘Detroit’ is barely identifiable in it’s blandness, and nothing really changes through the rest of the album. Each song seems perfectly crafted to act as background music to a non-event, or an unimportant scene in an MTV-produced indie movie (I’m... [Read more of this review]

Black Lips – 200 Million Thousand Black Lips – 200 Million Thousand

For a band famed for their energy and crazy live shows where anything can happen, sadly, ‘200 Million Thousand’ feels slow and a tad predictable. From the very first track, ‘Take my heart’, Black Lips seem like they’re going to build this into something huge and exciting, but for the most part, the album moves along at... [Read more of this review]

Black Sabbath – The Best Of… Black Sabbath – The Best Of…

Well, it’s Black Sabbath. If you need any more exposition on that, then you probably won’t like Black Sabbath. One of the best loved British metal bands in the last, well, ever. The Best Of album predictably contains all the best regarded Black Sabbath songs, possibly in chronological order (but probably not). Iron Man, Paranoid, Sabbath... [Read more of this review]

Blur – No Distance Left To Run Blur – No Distance Left To Run

In the year 2010 the term ‘Britpop’ is somewhat of a whispered taboo. A blip on an otherwise impeccably presented age for British modern Music. The stylised subculture of Indie has ushered in a slew of credible acts droning on about ‘real issues’ such as political injustice and environmental awareness. Today’s underground... [Read more of this review]

Bon Iver- For Emma, Forever Ago Bon Iver- For Emma, Forever Ago

Of course, the mythology is important. When Justin Vernon’s band broke up, he retreated to his father’s hunting cabin in the wisconsin wilderness. It was the beginning of winter, and he remained, isolated in the snow and trees for three months. This is what happened. A startling debut seamlessly painting the wintry landscape, slow and soft and... [Read more of this review]

Bowling For Soup – Sorry For Partyin’ Bowling For Soup – Sorry For Partyin’

Bowling For Soup’s trademark sense of humour and fun has served them well over the years, with their career based on ridiculously catchy songs and tongue-in-cheek silliness. Their songs carry a sense of childish fun that few bands can pull off, but which makes BFS incredibly endearing. ‘Sorry For Partyin’ is no different; the style... [Read more of this review]

Breed 77 – Insects Breed 77 – Insects

Wake up, the latest single to be released from this album really lets it down. It shouldn’t be the opening track on this album, to agree with Chris who reviewed it as a single, it’s more comedic metal than straight up metal. A bit of a let down as I really wanted to find a different point of view with it. Moving on though and track two ‘The... [Read more of this review]

Brigade – Come Morning We Fight Brigade – Come Morning We Fight

I write this in a bad mood. My laptop is being stupid and I burnt my toast about 10 minutes ago. This does not bode well for Brigade, a band who’s latest album ‘Come Morning We Fight’, i’m about to sit down to give my honest, open thought about. But, luckily for them and me, i’m finding it hard not to like this album. This is my third real... [Read more of this review]

Broadway Calls – ‘Good Views, Bad News’ Broadway Calls – ‘Good Views, Bad News’

Originally signed by Green Day guru Billy Joe Armstrong Oregon’s Broadway Calls would appear to tick all the right boxes for budding Punk mega stardom. Throw into the mix the very impressive fact that former Black Flag tub thumper Bill Stevenson has recorded their sophomore release and The Calls should have credibility on tap. ‘Good Views,... [Read more of this review]
