Album Review : Jay Eff Kay 2007-09-20 10:32:00 Amercian Rapper Jay Eff Kay has kindly sent me his new album "America: Suicide Notes Vo.1" for review. So here it is!Background: Jay Eff Kay grew up in Boston in the US. He worked hard during his younger years to eventually work for a law company on Wall Street. But it was here where he developed a dis-taste for the country and society in which he was living. So to unleash his anguish he turned to music. And after releasing "2005: A Year In Review" a collection of songs he had being working on over his lifetime, it is now in 2007 when he has recently released his full length debut album, entitled "Amercia: Suicide Notes Vo.1".Review: This album is a full on attack of the American political system, as well as the society and values that modern day Americans are being brought up on. What sets Jay Eff Kay apart from other Hip Hop artists, is that there is integrity in his lyrics, a real intent on upsetting the mainstream, and as a listener his background and honesty strikes a real chord.M Read more:Album

Musical Brain Expansion 2007-09-18 14:48:00 Hey! Hope your well. So i'm back after a few days away becoming a graduate of the University of Lincoln. Since I last posted i've listened to a huge amount of music previously unheard of by my ears. This ranges from new mp3's, to new albums I bought when in London, to raiding my Dad's CD collection. All of which means I have alot of excellent bands and artists to write about in the coming days and weeks..Also since i've been away, you will have hopefully read and enjoyed the first post by guest writer, and my good friend, Craig Duranti. If you've listened to the tracks Craig suggested i'm sure you'll agree he has impeccable taste, and I hope you enjoy reading his posts as much as I will!.To get back into the flow of things i'll start off by recommending some cool new tracks i've recently got into.

Special Guest : Craig Duranti 2007-09-17 06:56:00 Hello world, This is my first installment of my guest appearance on my good friend Sid's blog! I've selected four tunes that i've been playing out alot recently and the time has come to share them with you! First of all a remix of the awesome Daft Punk from an Australian artist, Ghetto Ruckus. I'm always wary of a Daft Punk remix as its almost impossible to beat the original, but this man has given the track a huge synth injection! MP3: Daft Punk: Harder Better Faster Stronger (Ghetto Ruckus Mix) Crookers are churning out loads of decent material at the moment, and they are fast becoming one of the big names in the Fidget House scene. This is their re-working of my second favourite Brazilian act, Bonde Do Role. MP3: Bonde Do Role: Gasolina (Crookers Crunk) Next up a lovely bit of soulful D & B for you. This is the title track of the new J Majick & Wickaman album, Crazy World. Vocals are courtesy of Kathy Brown, best known for 'Turn Me Out'. You can get the album now from Read more:Special

Keep Hope Inside + RIP IT UP with Craig Duranti! 2007-09-07 06:01:00 Hey, head on over to Keep Hope Inside, (a cool music blog focusing on underated and unknown music largely from the UK). Saam who runs the blog has recent come up with the idea of posting a list of the good new music blogs he has come across, and he featured this blog which is exciting! I had to answer a few questions about the blog, and Saam has also given his opinion.So go check out the review of this blog, as well as the other cool blogs he has featured. This blog is soon to have a special guest writer, DJ and producer, Craig
Duranti. Craig has been DJ-ing since his teenage years, playing in clubs and bars in Essex during his younger years, and in recent times has been a resident at a night called Moda at The Cell in Lincoln. Craig will primarily be writing about Dance music, everything from House, Electro, Drum and Bass, and all the other sub genres he can think of. He'll also be interviewing Produders and DJ's that he comes across.He is due to start his own night called "Rip It
Billy Talent 2007-09-05 13:38:00 Today I want to acknowledge one of my favourite bands of recent years, BillyTalent
.Billy Talent
(who were formerly known as Pezz) are a Canadian Punk Rock band who have been around since forming in 1993. The members are Benjamin Kowalewicz (Vocals), Ian D'Sa (Guitar/Vocals), Jonathan Gallant (Bass/Vocals), and Aaron Solowoniuk (Drums). The band were known as Pezz up until 2001, when due to legality issues they decided to change their name to Billy Talent. As Pezz, the band released an album titled "Watoosh!" (1998). This album was popular for the band in their hometown of Toronto, however it did not achieve the level of commercial success the band would enjoy from 2001 onwards with the change of name to Billy Talent. After releasing an E.P entitled "Try Honestly" (2001), the band went on to record and release their debut self-titled album in 2003. From this album the band enjoyed considerable success, particuarly from singles such as "Try Honestly" and "Nothing To Lose". Building upo

Moving Units : Hexes For Exes 2007-09-28 10:50:00 The people at Magnum PR have kindly given me an advance copy of the new Moving
Units album entitled "Hexex For Exes", which is released 9th October on Metropolis Records.Background: Moving Units formed in 2001, and come from Los Angeles. They have released a self-titled E.P in 2002, and followed that up with their debut full length album in 2004 called "Dangerous Dreams". They have toured with many notable bands, such as The Pixies, Blur, and most recently Nine Inch Nails. Review: Moving Units return in 2007 with their second album called "Hexes For Exes". And what an album it is. I previously hadn't heard of the band before, but instantly became a fan while listening to opening track and first single "Pink Thoughts". This first song sets the tone for the album, a strong drum beat, quirky guitars, synths, and dark revealing vocals. It is a sonic mix of Indie undertones crossed with Electronica. For me what really stands out and sets the band apart is the production on this record. Eac
It's Time To Get Heavy 2007-09-26 16:30:00 Hey, hope everyone's good. If you've attempted to download any tunes from here lately, you will have noticed that annoyingly i've reached my bandwidth level, so the links dont work. In the future i'll be putting two links for each mp3, but for now you'll just have to wait until the level is reset in about 10 days. Any new songs I put up will be hosted on a different server so they should be fine.So on with todays post! This blog has so far concentrated mainly on Indie, Electronica, Hip Hop, and Acoustic tracks, but has not really touched upon the genre of Metal. Which is strange considering that its the genre that i've grown up listening to. I think it stems from the fact Metal music doesnt seem as easily available on the internet as other types of music. However a few days ago I decided to go through a bunch of compilation cds that I had lying around, and I discovered a whole host of excellent new tracks from established bands aswell as brand new ones. Anyway check these tracks Read more:Heavy

Radiohead - In Rainbows 2007-10-14 12:00:00 Before I get started i'd just like to say that this will be the last post for a week or so as i'm going on holiday on Monday. but I'll Be Back... .So today's post. Radiohead
. Your probably sick of reading about this band by now, it seems almost every blog across world has had something to say about them and the groundbreaking release of their new material. But for what it's worth i'm putting my two pennies in.. . As we all know Radiohead made their new album, "In Rainbows
", available for download for whatever price you were willing to pay for it. Upon the anouncement it caused a media storm and the profile of the band was raised tenfold. I don't mind telling you that I actually paid nothing for the album...My reasoning? Well, to me mp3's and downloads are a vehicle for promoting bands and artists. I decided that if I like and enjoy listening to the album, I will, like with other records, purchase the hard physical copy when it is released. But the question is, is it any good?.A

Band Review : Me Against Them 2007-10-08 09:00:00 When in London a few weeks ago, I decided to buy an album based on no reason other than I liked the name of the band and thought the album cover looked quite cool. It also helped that it only cost £2. To my enjoyment, upon listening to the record I found out that it is actually really good, and has turned out to be a great find!.The record is the self titled debut album from a band called "Me Against Them"..Unfortunatley it appears after doing some research that the band are either no longer together, or are on some sort of hiatus. I've concluded this because 1) There official website doesn't exist anymore. 2) The record label website doesn't exist and 3) their myspace havent been updated for a couple of years. But this takes nothing away from how good I think their debut album is.Me Against Them formed in 2001 and come from London. The members are Marty on Vocals/Guitar, Arthur on Guitar/Vocals, Mathew on Bass/Vocals, Sonny on Drums, and Steve on Keys. They are a fusion of alterna

Hundred Reasons - Quick The Word Sharp The Action 2007-10-24 16:00:00 Time for an album review. This week its the new record from HundredReasons
called "Quick
The Word Sharp The Action
", out on V2 Records.. Background: Hundred Reasons have been around for awhile now. Since 1999 to be exact. With new album "Quick The Word Sharp The Action", the band are now on album number 4. Previous releases have included the Gold selling debut LP "Ideas Above Our Station" (2002), "Shatterproof Is Not A Challenge" (2004), and "Kill Your Own" (2006). The current lineup of the band is Andy Bews (Drums), Colin Doran (Lead Vocals), Den Doyle (Guitar), Andy Gilmour (Bass), and Larry Hibbitt (Guitar and Vocals). Over the years this band has had to overcome adversity time and time again, ranging from being dropped from their label, to lead singer Colin Doran being threatened with career ending vocal problems. But they keep bouncing back and coming up with excellent albums, and this new one is no different.Review: On first listening to the new album, I have to admit I wasn't

Gig Review - Hadouken! 2007-10-30 11:00:00 Last night I saw Hadouken! in TJ's, Newport. and this is my review.For starters this was the first time I have been to a gig in agesssss, so it felt good to be back in that environment. Hadouken! are a "cool" band, and as such the majority of the crowd reflected this "coolness", all wearing brightly coloured clothing and waving around glowsticks. The average age must have been about 16, there were alot of kids around, which made me feel very old, but also quite nostalgic remembering that back in the day I was one of these kids, getting overly hyped about the band I was seeing. They were still pretty irritating though....Arriving at the venue about 8, I presumed things would be underway, but they were not. In fact the first band didnt start playing until 8.45pm. It later transpired that this was because of an illness within The Ghost Frequency camp, particuarly annoying as I was looking forward to seeing them. Anyway this meant Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst Into Flames were the warm

Special Guest : Craig Duranti 2007-11-25 12:24:00 First up for me is my current favourite band, Late of the Pier. I openly admit it doesnt take me very long to be completely in love with a new band, and this group of lads are no different. Hailing from Castle Donnington, there is some serious hype surrounding this lot (they are averaging 800 myspace plays a day), and they have some good people behind them too. Erol Alkan is producing the debut album, and this heavy slab of indie-electro goodness is out now on Moshi Moshi: (Ed: I've blogged this before but it is bloody good) MP3: Late Of The Pier: Bathroom Gurgle I saw this next lady at Sheperds Bush in London last week and thoroughly enjoyed my evening. Lets just say she got some mixed reviews in the press, but I think that Kate Nash makes simple yet interesting pop music and she is an immensely talented musician.

Remix your brain 2007-11-23 08:10:00 Hello! I am back after a very long absense. Apologies for that. But i'm back now and ready to write about the awesome new music that is around, aswell as band and album reviews, guest writer Craig Duranti will be letting you all know what he's been spinning lately, and also we hope to have an interview with the excellent Moving Units.Todays post is about the world of Remixes.For me, remixes can be spilt into two pots. You have the songs which are aren't too well known, maybe album tracks, or singles which failed to make an impression, which are then given a new lick of paint, to build upon the original ideas but also give a new slant. Then you have the remixes of well known songs, which have enjoyed good commercial success, or cult following. The priniciple is the same, the original track is altered and combined with a new vision.It is with this second group of remixes that I struggle with. Take a song such as "Foxy Lady" by Jimi Hendrix, an absolute classic. Now two artists that I
Nirvana - In Utero 2007-12-02 15:00:00 Ever since I first seriously got into listening to music, I've always been a fan of Nirvana
. I must have been about 13 when I saw the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit", I remember soon after that I got the "Nevermind" album on cassette, and there began my love for all things Nirvana. I guess everyone has their Nirvana moment, thats the impact that this band had, and still have on music today.However due to many reasons, it has not been until recently that I have purchased what came to be the bands final LP, "In Utero".Released in 1993 on Sub Pop Records, this third Nirvana album was an aggressive reaction to the fame and applauds that the previous album "Nevermind" had brought them. The songs are self depricating and highly critical of the position that fame brings you. It is exactly the album that Kurt Cobain wanted and needed to write. As well as employing the trademark "Seattle" sound of quiet and loud elements, the album contains some of the best songwriting seen, and demonstrat
