Biffy Clyro

Machines

With the recent overdue, but entirely worthy, mainstream discovery of Biffy Clyro it’s no surprise their record label has released this safe but highly accomplished radio-friendly grower more… “Biffy Clyro”

Kyle Cuthbert

Magic Farmer demo

A demo recording of better than average standard. It’s a sparse affair with just Kyle Cuthbert’s vocals and acoustic guitar guiding us through two mellow folky campfire tracks more… “Kyle Cuthbert”

Noisettes

The Count of Monte Christo

An interesting enough little three minute ditty but nothing to make the hairs stand on end, and with brushes on the snare what would you expect? more… “Noisettes”

Sara Berg

When I Was A Young Child I Used To Feel Pleasure From Playing With Others

Sara Berg is a Stockholm singer releasing her first album in the UK and with it comes the best album title of the year, that’s for sure. more… “Sara Berg”

Devastations

Yes, U

Australian threepiece Devastations return with this album, their first with new label Beggars Banquet. Opener ‘Black Ice’ hits on some Bryan Ferry and Grace Jones laid back funk grooves more… “Devastations”

Mach Schau

Moving Targets

‘Make Your Excuses’ is based on the teachings of The Clash in all things post-punk and doles out a ska tinged and bass heavy song that ticks only a few of Joe Strummer’s boxes. ‘Moving Targets’ is a quick fire head nodder of less than two minutes which provides admirable support for the opener.

VOM

VCA

Two tracks with no sign of a title, though with the two tracks at ten and seven minutes I’ll have plenty time to think some up obviously. more… “VOM”
