Dan Black – Un Dan Black – Un

This album has been the most challenging to review of all those i’ve so far done for crowdsurfer. Mostly because i’ve been quite lucky in the past, in that although the stuff I’ve reviewed before has been of varying quality it’s always been within my broad taste of music, unforunatly this one falls way outside what I would choose... [Read more of this review]

Daniel Merriweather – Love & War Daniel Merriweather – Love & War

Save yourselves kids, Mark Ronson’s all out assault on the world of popular Music looks set to rage on unappeased. Simply not content with collecting producing credits on hot licks by global media sensations such as Macy Gray and Christina Aguilera, not to mention releasing THAT covers album which sat atop every critic’s top ten list back... [Read more of this review]

Dinosaur Pile-up – The Most Powerful EP In The Universe!! Dinosaur Pile-up – The Most Powerful EP In The Universe!!

UK rockers Dinosaur Pile-Up haven’t been at it long, but their ability to craft addictive tracks gives them an air of experience. Of course, aping early Foo Fighters does nothing to dispel this vibe, but they manage to put enough of a personal stamp on their music to help it avoid sounding derivative. ‘Summer Hit Single’ could be exactly... [Read more of this review]

DissolvedIN – Proudly Dressed EP DissolvedIN – Proudly Dressed EP

Having not come across DissolvedIN before, I spent the entire first minute of opener ‘Mapped Roads’ with my fingers crossed. I did this simply because it starts off slightly-deceptively heavy, and I couldn’t figure out what direction it would take. I was, however, sincerely hoping it wouldn’t devolve into awful screaming and throaty-growls,... [Read more of this review]

Doves- Kingdom of Rust Doves- Kingdom of Rust

April 6th 2009. I’ve been waiting for this day for four long years. Yes, it’s been that long since their last album ‘Some Cities’ was released. It’s been a long hard wait, but it’s been worth it. ‘Kingdom of Rust’ is quite simply outstanding! Yes, you’re right. I am a fan of Doves and I have been for some time now. Often mocked but... [Read more of this review]

Dr Slaggleberry – The Slagg Factory Dr Slaggleberry – The Slagg Factory

Billed as masked math-metal monsters, with the ability to blend “math metal”, progressive rock, “jazzcore” and “experimental sounds”. Now, I’m happy to take their word for it, and concede that they may well have blended all of the above. The result is rather similar to blending all of the primary colours. The... [Read more of this review]
