BLUR – Midlife

June 30th, 2009 by Matt | No Comments

Yes, many people will already own the ‘Best Of’ compilation that Blur released back in 2000. It neatly summed up the bands singles in one package and proved very popular. With this two disc set though, they’ve chosen to take a slightly different route. Spurred on, no doubt, by the bands reformation this collection features [...]


NEW YORK DOLLS – ‘Cause I Sez So

June 29th, 2009 by Matt | No Comments

I must confess, I’m not entirely sure how the New York Dolls have managed to put out an album of new material, what with most of them being dead and all, so I suppose I should be applauding the achievement. Frontman David Johansen and guitarist Sylvain Sylvain rally new Dolls around themselves for this, their [...]

Sometimes, like Cream, it can be brilliant, but more often (see Velvet Revolver) the results are, at best, mixed. So, how does Chickenfoot fare? [...]


MY PASSION – Corporate Flesh Party

June 28th, 2009 by Matt | No Comments

At first appearance My Passion look to be stationed firmly between the Goth and Emo camps, with their appearance seemingly top of the priorities list, but not long into Corporate Flesh Party it becomes clear that there’s more to these guys than meets the eye. Electro-pop and dance elements rear up time and again on [...]

GOSSIP – Music For Men

June 24th, 2009 by Matt | 2 Comments

On first listen one thing about this album was obvious… there’s no big standout song like their debut hit ‘Standing In The Way Of Control’. This though, is a good thing, as that track loomed large over the others on their first album, markedly superior to the rest of the offerings present. This time we [...]
