Us Anglophones seem reluctant to embrace le rock français. While we'll happily pose and mosh to Scandinavian garage, dance to French electronica and (reluctantly) acknowledge that our Gallic neighbours do the rap thing better than us, digging French boys with guitars appears to be a little beyond us us still.

When Norwich quartet, 'Depth', start their debut album with 'Built By One', a listener might develop a sense of indifference to the band- this is perfectly competent post-hardcore, but nowhere in its 3 minutes and 47 seconds running time does it really challenge the genre boundaries, and in a scene as over saturated as the one they occupy, a band must be able to offer something more substantial than 'satisfactory' if they are to stand out from the pack.

Live Review: The High Chairs + Run Down Square
It was with some trepidation that I approached The Mixing Tin last Friday as the bassist of reasonably new boys on the scene The High Chairs, had been sporadically emailing me and seemed like such an affable and friendly chap that I was absolutely terrified that the band would be awful and I'd have to say something negative about them and crush poor Roj's hope and dreams.

CD Review: Tiger Shadow - Stripe 1
After releasing their debut album earlier in the year, socially-aware genre-manglers Tiger Shadow release three-track EP 'Stripe 1.' The disparate range of influences that powered 'The Rise Of The Tiger Shadow' are all still present and accounted for, but 'Stripe 1' has a more prominent electro edge, most notably in 'See You Next Tuesday' and 'Up & Down.' Tiger Shadow are still pedalling their unique brand of gloomy cool, but it's a lot more catchy than it used to be.

CD Review: The Dangerous Aces - ...Deny All Responsibility
TNS Records fans may remember The Dangerous Aces from the 'Mainstream Music is Shit' compilation, so it comes as no surprise that their debut album is fast and furious DIY punk rock, all gloopy with snot-nosed vocals and played with the sort of sloppy enthusiasm usually reserved for the live arena.
