CD Review: Full Scream Ahead - We Write Our Own Anthems

CD Review: Various Artists - Crash! Indie Anthems 1982-2004
1982-2004 22 years of indie? Did indie really begin in 1982? Who cares, don't let the title stand in the way of this rather good (but rather predictable) compilation.

CD Review: Sub Focus - Could This Be Real
Sub Focus takes us back to the 90's, with a classic house piano refrain that'll either have you grinning with nostalgia, or cringing as all the music you tried, but failed, to avoid, makes an unwelcome return.

CD Review: Yes Boss - More Or Less / They Think It's All Over
After the unprecedented amount of useless, mindless, lager lout England World Cup anthems that have been hastily penned by cretins wanting the football loving nation to embrace (let's not get started on Embrace) their song and sing it from the terraces, it's refreshing to hear the remedy to this in the form of Yes Boss' incidental attack on football fever that is 'They Think It's All Over'.

CD Review: The Sunshine Underground - Nobody's Coming To Save You
It would be fair enough to expect something slightly special from this album. It's been about three and a half years since the Leeds based 4-piece released their fantastic debut 'Raise The Alarm,' and in "indie" terms, that's hardly prolific.

CD Review: Sound Of Guns - Architects
Sound Of Guns continue to carve a niche for themselves as pedallers of earnest, stadium-rock anthems with added personality, with their latest single, 'Architects.' 'Architects' is a towering roar of impassioned, mainstream-friendly rock where everything is pushed to extremes: the vocals are bigger, the guitars are louder and the drums go off like heavy artillery.

CD Review: Charlie Indestructible - My Sweet Revenge
Look beyond the My Chemical Romance-esque album title and the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' style song titles ('I'm Back Billy And I Want You,' anyone?) and Charlie Indestructible are a surprisingly heavy band.

CD Review: Pollen - Lonely In The Crowd
I get hayfever. Real bad, sometimes. But this particular strain of Pollen is infectious and debilitating in the best possible way - it will make you 1) sing (uncontrollably and loudly) and 2) stand there in shock unable to do a thing except sniff, your eyes watering, but for an entirely different reason to that large and inconsiderate yellow field a few streets away.

How influential were Alice in Chains? Maybe not as influential as their nineties grunge peers Nirvana, maybe not as highly touted as their glum superstar friends Soundgarden, but if you step back and look at the crop of bands that are now doing a piss poor impression of one of the heavier, yet more diverse Seattle bands from the grunge explosion, you'll realise how that most of these bands (Godsmack to name the most blatant copyists, even taking their name from a song from "Dirt") were losing themselves in the misery that was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the 90's, 1992's "Dirt", rather than jumping around and trying to craft three chords into sub-Nirvana anthems.

CD Review: Dry the River - Shallow Bed
Stir fry for dinner tonight which no matter how many times I make it, never tastes the same twice. Maybe the ginger will rule tonight, or the garlic will conquer all.

'Fine Fascination' is an album that makes no efforts to disguise its ambitions: it's an album that wants to fill stadiums, and it sounds fittingly huge.

Band Profile: Labrat
Once upon a time, in Jersey in the Channel Islands, four pieces of scum, bound together by circumstances not beyond their control, hatched a hideous, diabolical plan to fuck with peoples heads by defiling the conventions of modern music through dischordance, non-existant chord-progressions and irregular tempo changes.

CD Review: Elliot Minor - Solaris
The overall impression of Elliot Minor's sophomore effort, is that they've taken it down a notch in order to concentrate on melding their classical flourishes and rock guitars into a more coherent whole.

CD Review: Goldie Lookin' Chain - ASBO4Life
'ASBO4Life' is one of the strangest albums I've heard in a while. In an ideal world new material would be judged purely on its own merits, but when a group has previously always followed such a rigid and distinctive formula, it's impossible not to expect more of the same.
