Band Review : Gossamer Albatross
2007-12-19 15:00:00
Gossamer Albatross are a three-piece from Hereford in the South West of England. The three members of the band are, Lewis who is the guitarist and vocalist, Reuben who plays violin, and Geena who plays the cello. Their self-titled debut E.P has recently been released through Monosound Recordings. And it's rather good.Its not upon the first listen of this E.P, where the potential of this band first hits you, its the subsequent second, third and so on listens. Everytime you listen to the record something new jumps out at you, clearly a good sign that the band are doing something right. As far as the sound of the band goes, I guess you'd put them in the Folk bracket. Accordingly to their label, Monosound Recordings, the band will have "fans of Bright Eyes, Beirut, Neutral Milk Hotel glued to their players for the foreseeable future" .Frontman Lewis is only 18, so to be writing songs of this calibre already, shows that there can only be bigger and better things to come from this band, an

Gig Review - Blood Red Shoes (at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff)
2008-02-04 15:17:46
I recently saw Blood Red Shoes in Cardiff at Clwb Ifor Bach. So here's a little review...First band up were She Set Sail, a local South Wales alternative rock band from Cardiff. The band comprises of Lee Smith (Bass), Jonny Payne (Guitar/Vocals), and Sam Vanttinen Newton (Drums). I was pretty impressed with these guys display, as it looked as if this was the first time they have played on such a stage, and they did well. With each song the band clearly grew in confidence, particuarly frontman Jonny Payne who seems a real talent. I think She Set Sail definatley have some potential, and the more gigs they play will only help to further this. She Set SailNext up from Nottingham were noisy punk rockers, Lovvers. The band features Shaun Hencher (vocals) who was previously in The Murder Of Rosa

Check the bands myspace for details of their January/February tour. Late Of The Pier - Signed to Parlaphone Records, Late Of The Pier are curr

Hey, here's the first album review of the year. It comes from a band called Sabrosa Purr, with their debut album titled "To The Crickets And The Ghosts", which is out now on Violet Room Records.Sabrosa Purr are a rock band from Los Angeles, California. They consist of three members, Will Love (Vocals/Guitar), Jacob Thompson (Drums), and Jeff Mendel (Lead Guitar/Foot Bass). The band have released an E.P titled "The Violet Room" which came out in 2005, and this new release is their debut full length. It is produced by Tracy Chisholm.Listening to this album, a couple of influences soon become pretty clear. One minute the band sound like Nirvana at their most ferious, and then there are soft mellow Pink Floyd moments. Both things are definately not a bad thing, and Sabrosa Purr draw upon their


Cavalera Conspiracy / Operator Please
2008-03-27 16:39:41
Released this week is the debut album from Cavalera Conspiracy , called "Inflikted", which is out on Roadrunner Records. It is the first time the Cavalera brothers, Max and Igor, have made a record together since their well documented falling out at a Sepultura gig at Brixton Academy in 1996. And as such many Sepultura fans (myself included) are very much interested to hear what the boys have been upto, aswell as hoping that it may pave the way for a return of the original Sepultura lineup.Well upon listening to the track "Sanctuary" from said album, I can tell you that the Cavalera brothers are well and truly back! Its really heavy, with tons of intricate guitar solo's all over the place, pounding drums from Igor, and the familiar growling snarl of Max. After 12 years apart you may expect
