CD Review: Million Dead - Harmony No Harmony
Million Dead are f**king awesome. No. Seriously. Folks. They really are. If 2003's debut effort 'A Song To Ruin' passed you by somewhat, firstly you are indeed a foolish human being and secondly, this, album number two, if you give it half a chance, will suck you in and spit you out believing THIS is something special and Million Dead are one of, if not the, best band in Britain right now.

Live Review: The War on Drugs + Alexander Tucker
I was informed that "We are running a bit late" as I arrived at an empty Brudenell. I was a bit concerned because quite a few decent acts have had disappointing attendances recently but by the time the music started we had a good turnout.

CD Review: Lethargy - Purification
Classic rock seems to be enjoying a bit of a resurgence as of late and, if this continues, then Welsh four-piece Lethargy are definitely in the running for a piece of the action with their second full length, 'Purification.' Album opener 'Stealth' is a poised and polished statement of intent, its dark chug overlaid with plenty of classy riffing and a cocksure, rock and roll swagger.

"I can't believe I just said that; why did I say that?", Fyfe sniggers after wryly introducing the two rather elegant violinists at his side as "my bitches." Wearing a haggard suit and sporting the audacious combination of socks and sandals (he later admits he forgot to pack another pair of shoes before he left home earlier that morning), he casually tussles with his golden hair, looking more like a bohemian businessman than anything else.
