Dust Bowl by Joe Bonamassa | Album Review

I can’t believe that Joe Bonamassa has released yet another album. After the storming success of his last album Black Rock which reached number one on the Billboard charts, I’m sure this one will do the same.

Brothers by The Black Keys | Album Review

I am just wondering how an awesome band such as The Black Keys have totally deserted my radar though. I’ve never heard of them up until yesterday. I am entirely overwhelmed by the glorious psychedelic, Bluesy-Rock sound which could put many a 60′s Woodstock band to utter shame. This is superb!

Slash by Slash | Album Review

THE MAN who managed to redefine the unwritten rules of Sex, Drugs and Rock N F’kn Roll is back. This time he’s out with friends on what is actually classed as his first solo album. What an ensemble of friends this guy has.

Black Rock by Joe Bonamassa | Album Review

Black Rock is the latest release from the Blues/Rock guitaring maestro that is, Joe Bonamassa. I could say living legend but if he has only recently passed my ears then I’ve either my head in the sand or his riffs haven’t carried over to me far enough.

WHB by We Have Band | Album Review

The electronics are not strong enough nor as prominent to be classed as Electro. The instruments are not hard enough to be classed as Rock, so we have a subtle crossover and a delicate blend between the two.

The Winter Of Mixed Drink by Frightened Rabbit | Album Review

RECENTLY with band such as Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes and here Frightened Rabbit we are blessed to have a great country brimming with talent. More so, Scotland. Glasgow is the home of these boys that bring a stew of wondrous sounds of big, cylindrical drums, piano’s and great harmonies of an orchestral, uplifting feel with the soothing, rawness of the Strathclyde dialect.

Tons Of Friends by Crookers | Album Review

Crude, filthy booms & claps superbly produced, lyrically bouncing with a certain uncouth attitude and sub-level bass under-layed deeply making me question the quality of my speakers.

More Than Alot by Chase and Status | Album Review

Chase & Status have been around for a few years but it wasn’t until the recent remix of the White Lies’ release Death, that they caught my attention. The reason is quite simply, I do not like it.

The Spider Simpson Incident by Casino

Now, this is has the intentions on being a short review of little words because of course, music really should sell itself. Casino are a band from Birmingham formerly known as SpiderSimpson, formerly known as Casino. (long story)

To Lose My Life by White Lies | Album Review

Every now and then, a song comes on the radio by a band or artist that you’ve never heard of, it stops you in your tracks, you’re captured by this sound, it has a hold on you and you just need to hear it again.

Kingdom Of Welcome Addiction by IAMX | Album Review

Now. I like Iron & Wine which is poetic, rustic, American deepsouth folk. I like Nine Inch Nails which is hard, industrial rock with very much explicit lyrics yet powerfully heartfelt. I like dark, filthy breakbeats which bang and bleep in all the right places. Depeche Mode with their indie/electronic sound, anthemic vocals and all the romanticism which surrounds. But what about an Artist which can combine all of those traits and come out with something truly masterful?

The Penny Arcade by Emily Breeze

Personally I do not believe there is anything much sexier than a woman with a soul singing some Blues music. Emily Breeze definitely possesses a soul.

The Sound Of Silver by LCD Soundsystem | Album Review

The first track is unmistakeable by many a gamer as being a theme tune to a very popular console Liberty City episode. Get Innocuous is a tune and a half. It has a certain attitude within the sound that means business, to bring you out of yourself and to take the bull by the horns. But depending on mood it can actually make you feel quite, well, innocuous.

Gurrumul by Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu | Album Review

World Music is not as mainstream as some would like it to be. Fortunately, Jools Holland introduces us to artists and groups that have travelled miles to be able to deliver some true, cultural quality.
