Reviews
Ichinchilla
BabyPinkStar Vs Bonnie Tyler
Various
Alabama 3
Unfulfilling debut album from electro act Ichinchilla, the project of London-based musician Ichinchilla
Brilliant reworking of classic Bonnie Tyler number by pop act BabyPinkStar
Disappointing compilation of British folk artists on ex-Verve guitarist Simon Tong's new Butterfly Recordings label
Latest single from Brixton-based country acid house rockers Alabama 3
Against Me
Drunk Horse
Jeff Klein
Little Freddie King
Unsatisfying latest offering from usually more reliable Florida-based punks Against Me !
Excellent fourth album and collection of hard rock from San Francisco band Drunk Horse
Superb second album from Texan singer-songwriter Jess Klein, who "comes across like a sleazy cross between Frank Sinatra, Dashboard Confessional and Dylan in his early years"
Disappointing compilation from Mississipi blues artist Little Freddie King on the usually reliable Fat Possum label which proves to be surprisingly lacking in soul
Paint It Black
Alabama 3
Do Me Bad Things
Do Me Bad Things
Short sharp punchy punk on the Jade Tree label on second album from Paint It Black, which proves to be "like a shot of adrenalin straight to the heart"
ICompelling and groundbreaking fifth album from Brixton bad boys Alabama 3, back with a fifth album of innovative Country Acid House
Dire debut album from the hightly touted Do me Bad Things, which totally fails to live up to the hype
Flawed attempt at combining 1970’s style hard rock with disco tunes from the same era from the much hyped Do Me Bad Things
Jacoba
Tom Vek
Mind Capsule
White Lies
Melodic and impressive post hardcore on debut album from new Isle of Wight group Jacoba, who look destined for a promising future
Wishy washy and uninspiring lo fi pop on new single from the highly touted Tom Vek
Indulgent guitar rock in the the vein of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani from Mind Capsule, the nom de plume for American musician and producer Robert Sadowski
Debut single from new Brit rockers White Lies, whom seems destined to make Top 10 and NME column space
Silver Ray
Restless Diesel
Le Tetsuo
Point Line Plane
Third album of prog rock chillout music from instrumental three piece Silver Ray , which despite drawing comparisions with the likes of Godspeed You Black Emperor, Sigur Ros and Mogwai, proves not to be in quite the same class
Ropily produced, but thoroughly enjoyable pop rock on debut Ep from new London act, Restless Diesel
Middle-of-the-road and predictable debut single from new Norwich based Gang of Four-inspired alt. rockers, Le Tetsuo
Excellent art rock and electonica on debut record from new American band, which proves to be "epic, melancholic, tuneful and discordant in pretty much equal measure"
Thee Moths
Tara Jane O'Neil
Gary Youngs Hospital
Belles
Almost unlistenable art rock on debut record by new Scottish act, Thee Moths
Dreamy folk rock from long-serving solo artist and former frontwoman with Rodan, Retsin and rhe Sonora Pine, Tara Jabe O' Neill
Abstract and appalling second album from former Pavement drummer Gary Young's occasional art rock project
'Delicious" and happy-with-the-world new single from Kansas-based Americana duo, the Belles
