Band Profile: Termite
A 'disgustingly contagious' four piece jazzy, proggy, spacey blues rock band - New E.P "Growth" out now - termite.bandcamp.com<br /><br />"One of West Yorkshire/Lancashire's most exploratory young bands, Termite's 3rd EP... Growth, is an all too brief voyage into a melting pot of blues, garage rock and early psychedelia" - Counterfeit Magazine<br /><br />"Impressively expansive and explorative music... 'Growth' is a mixture of styles, influences and genres that gel wonderfully to create a cacophony of the familiar and the surprising" - Listen with Monger<br /><br />"An exuberant crescendo of noise...roller coaster...in all senses of the words" - MusicMafia<br /><br />"When the world ends and the horsemen make their descent from heaven to cleanse the earth with fire, plague and pestilence; the last sound we will hear will be the last minute and a half of Kettle Of Fish." - Space Giraffe<br /><br />"Their attempts to blend styles are the work of a band attempting to look forwards rather than back. The textural nature of much of the music on 'Memory Loss' and the propulsive garage rock that ends 'Kettle of Fish' suggest that this is a band with a good few more sides to show us yet." - Echoes and Dust<br /><br />"'[Growth] draws you into both the sounds and the lyrics with a near hypnotic feel... An EP which will add to the collection of any music fan, who appreciates and welcomes the emergence of new and exciting musical talent." - Keep Music Live<br /><br />"From the beginning of the EP 'These Clowns' had me already hooked with the loud drums and the LSD guitar riffing" - WordsForMusic<br /><br />"Several times, the set descends into extended proggy breakdowns with electric double bass and flute thrown in for good measure but they are charismatic and musically capable enough for these Pink Floyd moments to be powerful rather than merely self indulgent" - No-TITLE Magazine

CD Review: Electric Eel Shock - Transworld Ultra Rock
Dispensing with the need to be ironic or clever, having English as a second language is perfect for fists in the air rock, as Ozzy has consistently shown.  Indeed Black Sabbath have been one of Electric Eel Shock's main influences along with a host of other 80's rock luminaries.  It's a style accurately described by their own press as 'fashion proof' and you'd have to agree there's very little here that would identify it as a record made in 2007.

CD Review: Beatsteaks - Limbo Messiah
Beatsteaks' 'Limbo Messiah' is a difficult album to categorise. Opening on a decidedly dark note before flirting with a funkier, quasi-reggae sound, and finally unleashing the hard rocking, hard partying good times with a closing trio of straight-up, fun-loving rock and roll tracks, it also has the disorientating tendency to take hardcore-influenced elements such as gnashing vocals and bristling riffs, and fashion them into hooky rhythms.
