CD Review: The Dirty Soul - Perfection is bad for the soul

Live Review: Hot Snakes + The Computers + That Fucking Tank
As a band, Hot Snakes were older than I expected. I should have twigged that they would be closer to liver-spotted than pubescent from the 6 year hiatus they've just come out of, but I was still shocked to see these guys come out.

CD Review: Alabama 3 - Outlaw

Live Review: The Datsuns + The Cribs

CD Review: Conner - Hello Graphic Missile
Press releases are strange things. Take Kansas quartet Conner for example - "away from the scrutiny of a music scene such as New York or LA..." One can only imagine that if Conner did come from New York they would be described as "hailing from the hotbed of America's music scene" or something or other.

CD Review: Glyn Bailey & The Many Splendid Things - The Disturbance
Where to start with this review then... well, with an apology I guess. I've been meaning to write this for around a month now, but have been playing so many gigs and doing so many other bits and pieces myself, that I've not had the time...

Band Profile: Your Demise
Hate filled hardcore from St Albans, UK. Parting with your frontman, merely weeks after the release of your breakthrough debut album, is not an event many could take in their stride; the annals of musical history are not exactly littered with bands that have lived to tell the tale.

Live Review: four day Hombre
Tonight was going to be another boring Monday night in as usual. I had planned to go the Faversham to see Four Day Hombre but as I hadn't got a clue where it was, and each of the maps I tried looking at all have different things on them, so I had resigned myself to not going.
