The Corrections

OCD

I wasn’t hopeful, sounding a bit like the feeling and trying to desperately persuade us they are dangerous by wishing death upon politicians sounds jarring like fifth form rebels from Fettes. more… “The Corrections”

The Condors

Wait For It

The Condors make unashamedly dirty rock and roll. I say unashamedly, as if they should be ashamed, they shouldn’t, rock and roll has always been dirty after all. And there is a suggestion, only a suggestion mind, from the inside cover photograph that they might be too old for this sort of thing. But that’s just what makes it even better. more… “The Condors”

The Heartstrings

Try Fly Blue Sky

The Heartstrings are a seven piece band, more of that later, from, well, it doesn’t say so, I’ll take a guess at middle England – home to tea, cricket and flags flying in gardens. They recently recorded live shows for Dermot O’ Leary (yes, him) and Janice Long (remember her) on Radio 2. In June, that we are no longer in, they are going to be releasing a second single. In general things are going well. Obviously I’m waffling here, but why? more… “The Heartstrings”

Raised By Tigers

LED

RBT seem to come from good stock and have the right friends, the album was engineered by Polyphonic Spree collaborator Dave Willingham. A fact that can be evidenced on the more harmonious parts that punctuate this album. more… “Raised By Tigers”

Various Artists

Seed Records Vol. 2

Electronic music seems increasingly pushed aside by the mainstream media, most apparent in advertising. The music that used to be the staple of advertising campaigns, now shunned in favour of white boys with guitars or the bearded Americana of new age hippiedom. more… “Various Artists”

Pro Audio

Make The Happiness Stop

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. more… “Pro Audio”
