Well, let’s be frank and jump straight in by saying I don’t see what the fuss is about. Maybe its because I’m not used to the sort of music this band plays.
Whilst Mojo pronounced them one of their top bands of 2009 and they received a nomination for the Best Breakthrough Act with in the Mojo Honours (needless to say I don’t think they won), it might be clear that they are meant to be something really breathtaking.

I’m sure everyone is very much aware of Pendulum’s debut album – Hold Your Colour – including the famous tracks ‘Tarantula’ and ‘Hold Your Colour’. I’m also sure that many thought they would not be able to top that, but with their next album – In Silico – going platinum just like their first, they did. Now they are back to blast our eardrums once more with their new album – Immersion.

A mix between Kaiser Chiefs sound and Chris Martin’s voice from cold play is how I think White Belt Yellow Tag come across. Unfortunately I don’t think that this band is very original at all. The album to me seems a bit predictable and ordinary from its genre. When listening to the CD on random, [...]

Jose James’s new album, which was recently released on the 22nd of February brings something new to the jazz generation. This album has a more edgier and sensual sound that really come to show their true colours in tracks such as ‘Promise in love’ and ‘touch ‘. Since his last album he has performed in [...]

Ash are back with their newest album A-Z vol. 1 that wraps up all singles A to M along a host of bonus material. As soon as I put this masterpiece in to play, the first track ‘True Love, 1980’ burst into life and cheered me up with its summery sprinkle of twinkling notes. The [...]

For any of you who knew of Madrugada, one of the biggest rock bands in Norway, then you will be pleased to hear that the vocalist is back with his very own solo career, and his album’s pretty catchy!! After the sudden death of Madrugada’s guitarist – Robert – and then Sivert’s father 2 weeks [...]

From a person who listens to almost anything except from opera and sometimes country, it will maybe shock you to hear that I just could not get into this album. Mind Control’s new album Addicted is anything but a knock out to me. Every song is so similar that sometimes I struggle to tell the [...]

Although I am not a person to be found listening to folk music, I will try to be as honest as I can with the next review. The album Stanley Brinks And The Wave Pictures is a very slow one. It does not have any high point in all the songs featured in it. Although [...]

White Rabbits newest release It’s Frightening is a must have for people interested in relaxing up beat music. Most of the songs featured in this album such as Percussion Gun and Lionesse are lead by the drumming and percussions of Jamie Levinson and Mathew Clark and then followed by an interesting mixture of guitar and [...]
