Delays

Hooray

With previous hits ‘Long Time Coming’ and ‘Valentine’, Delays found themselves on the periphery of mainstream success. Their blend of anthemic, rousing choruses with an edgy and progressive sound found them many admirers, and new single ‘Hooray’ is the first release from third album ‘Everything’s the Rush’. more… “Delays”

Tokyo Police Club

Tessellate

Canada. Home of Bryan Adams and Celine Dion. Musical visionaries you’ll agree. You’ll be delighted to know that Tokyo Police Club are influenced in no way by their compatriots, preferring to ride the wave of hyperactive riffs and nonchalant too cool-for-school warbling that is the musical aperitif for the skinny jeans brigade. more… “Tokyo Police Club”

Martin Harley Band

One for the Road

In the space of the two songs on this single Martin Harley certainly shows his ability to employ different styles of music. ‘One for the Road’ is an acoustic led piece of folk/country. more… “Martin Harley Band”

The Gap Year Riot

Lost for Words

Debut EP from Glasgow band The Gap Year Riot bears a striking resemblance to the style employed in recent albums by Funeral for a Friend and Lost Prophets, no surprise then seeing as all 3 bands worked with the same producer. more… “The Gap Year Riot”

The Hidden Messages

Animal Actors

This is a nice EP. I turned it up very loud indeed, I could just make out some drumming near the end of one of the sings. You could turn it up loud and still not annoy your neighbours. In fact they might even skip upstairs as you press play for the fifth time, more… “The Hidden Messages”

The Rushes

Corners

I know, because I read things, and because I sometimes find myself in front of the TV when Channel 4 starring Alexa Chung is on ( this is ALL THE TIME, apart from the news) that the 1980s are not dead. more… “The Rushes”

Lowlife

Monitors

Lowlife look very serious on the CD cover. I can imagine the barman may have told them that they are no longer doing food more… “Lowlife”
