It’s unlikely Pro –Audio want to be regarded as cool, geek cool possibly, but not that black clad chin stroking cool. That much is clear from track one, (one which I am not even going to type out, being, as it is, a full sentence) starting off a bit like Weezer, who they name as contemporaries, it quickly regenerates into an amalgam of scuzzy twee indie rock. [...]
Beck returns with his first new material since last year’s uber-pop internet-only single, ‘Timebomb’. Is it anything like that? [...]
As Aderbat’s cohesive EP draws to a close my relaxed limbs fall victim to a heavenly music-induced coma, if possible. [...]
Moby’s feeling nostalgic with new concept album ‘Last Night’ and this second single is undoubtedly designed to evoke the main event of his typical night out in New York City back in the day. [...]
The Hair must be set for big things. Following the successful release of their (Japan only) album ‘Indecisions’ the Leeds/York foursome release their new single ‘Blood’ on their own label 4 plus 5 Records on June 16th. [...]

Think if you will, of a battered piano having two shades of ivory knocked out of it by a gorgeous young woman. Think of a small bass player named ‘Pixie’ wearing a top hat that covers his (allegedly) pointy ears, and a glamorous drummer who thrashes the skins with an energy and apparent vengeance that belies her beauty. [...]
China Dogs’ debut EP is loud, brash, fast and oozing with hooky, aggressive choruses that don’t merely ask to be sung along to, but positively demand so under threat of removing your vocal chords with a pair of rusty pliers! [...]
So these guys are from UK? (Cheshire and Stoke on Trent to be precise.) I hope they wear a badge to emphasize the point for if not, our American cousins will be claiming them as their own. [...]
Stop press! There are too many festivals to choose from, too many bands to keep up with, and the rain’s just ruined my coiffed hair-do. This is an emergency. [...]
