#151 – Some Songs By Destroyer
I like Destroyer. The Canadian producer/band (I’m not sure even he knows quite what the make-up of the project is as it changes members so much) makes slightly spacy, intelligent and really good music. Last year he released Kaputt, which … Continue reading

Review: Tribes – Baby
The current trend in ‘Indie’ music is to write songs that sound like they’ve stepped out of a Delorean from the 80′s. Knowing this (expecting it, even) makes the opening of Tribes’ debut rather surprising, as they draw influence from … Continue reading

#150 – Remembering Etta James
It’s been about a week now since Etta James, one of the most talented and recognisible characters in the Rhythm and Blues scene of the 50′s and 60′s, passed away. She had a sound that blended Jazz, R&B and Rock … Continue reading

The gentleman in the picture above is Tourist. In a previous life he was known as Little Loud, but that moniker is now dead. Which is a shame, because all of us here at the blog were fans. Luckily the … Continue reading

Review: The Maccabees – Given To The Wild
For me, the new Maccabees record was always going to be a big one. I’ve enjoyed their last two albums so much that I had high expectations of album number three. I remember reading reviews of Wall Of Arms describing … Continue reading
