Rumble Strips, The - Motorcycle 2007-08-17 12:28:34 -
It says here that the Rumble Strips
are the band most likely to be the Kooks or Fratellis of 2007, and whilst that shouldn't exactly get your hopes up, at least those bands had the decency to annoy.
'Motorcycle
' doesn't get much more than a 'meh' out of me, and thus I have very little to say about the track other than 'there's about 10 seconds in the middle that aren't bad'. There are many better bands out there, but I guess middle of the road daytime radio stations need someone to fill the minutes in between the presenters banal views on life. This will do that nicely.
William - Five Minute Wonder 2007-08-17 12:22:59 -
William
have the ability to create a sense of nostalgia with their music whilst remaining simultaneously relevant and fresh, and 'Five Minute
Wonder' is no exception. Whilst the 90's influences remain totally unhidden, there's the undeniable feeling that with the advent of bland-rock and constant revival of all things 80's, bands like William are still needed - and indeed very welcome.
The juttering verses and explosive chorus are a pleasure to listen to - my only gripe is that their recordings do not yet add up to the mastery of their live performances.

Hard Fi - Suburban Knights 2007-08-17 12:12:43 -
"On the Saturday night of this year's Glastonbury, having just been pleasantly surprised by Editors' set, I found myself at a loose end, with no acts catching my eye on my already disintegrated pocket guide. This is, of course, the best situation to be in at the festival. You're free to wander the muddy fields of Pilton to catch all manner of surprises, ranging from the bizarre - men carrying live car batteries with their nipples - to the sensational - Hard-Fi's unannounced headline set for Love Music Hate Racism. Wandering in to the Leftfield tent tanked up on all manner of cider - warm, spicy, flat - I figured I knew what to expect, being pretty accustomed to their live shows, but was none the less happy I'd somehow timed my aimless straggling to intercept the beginning of what I knew was to be, at its worst, a great performance. It turned out to be one of the best shows I saw the whole weekend. The band were refreshed, Richard Archer was as animated and charged as every fron Read more:Suburban

Gym Class Heroes - Clothes Off! 2007-08-15 14:51:45 -
Gym Class
Heroes' were the guilty parties behind one of this summer's surprise crossover hits, Cupid's Chokehold (Breakfast In America)." Next single, Clothes
Off!, is attempting to build on this success, but in the wake of such an unexpected breakthrough, will the band prove to be more than just a novelty?
The song itself is strong, with well-constructed vocal harmonies, a satisfying bump n' grind chorus and some skillful and streetwise rapping in the verses. Interest is added to the proceedings via a guitar solo that, however brief, succeeds in making it's point; Gym Class Heroes
aim to approach hip-hop from a bold new angle.
But the problem is, take said solo out of the equation and you're left with stylistically, a very standard hip-hop radio single. As good as it is, Clothes Off! lacks the crossover appeal of it's predecessor and consequently, won't win the eponymous Heroes' any more converts from outside the graffiti-clad walls of hip-hop fandom.

Brinkman - Change It 2007-08-15 14:37:07 -
Naming a single after a famous actress is a rather crafty way of gaining some extra publicity. Brinkman did precisely that with previous release Kirsten Dunst' which brought the trio to the attention of many people including EMI (who resurrected the His Master's Voice label especially for them) and the song's namesake. On the evidence of this track, it would seem unlikely that they would have achieved such levels of interest based purely on the merits of the music.
Change
It' is another offering of their very English sounding, sunny guitar-pop. From the start the bass guitar and drums bounce along, soon joined by lashing of particularly jangly guitar. What is missing though is a level of vibrancy and playfulness needed to give the track an extra edge. Likewise there seems to be the same slight lack of inspiration to the lyrics; whilst easy to sing along to, the repetition soon borders on tiresome. The end result is a single which is lackluster and missing the final com
Kid At The Back - Slide Away 2007-08-21 12:22:25 -
London based trio Kid At The Back are a Red Hot Chilli peppers come Jimi Hendrix ensemble of rock and roll funk that possess arguably three of the most talented musicians yet to be snapped up by a record label.
The band are releasing Slide
Away' (the date is yet to be confirmed) as a download only single, which will be available from their myspace site in the first week of August. The track is a jumpy thrash along with a chorus that borders on effortless pop-funk. A steaming bassline that absorbs all the colours of the spectrum at an unimaginable rate is matched by stunning drumming and clever guitar play.
The track is a great demonstration of the fine musicianship that the band possess, not only playing but also writing; a sign that Kid At The Back have the potential to break out of the London circuit and onto bigger and better things.
The Electric City - Sleeping With The Enemy 2007-08-21 12:02:35 -
A well worn style by now, surely, the modicum of tolerance I had for bands like the Arctic Monkeys has well and truly been stripped away by the terror of a perpetual cycle of facsimiles pilfering each and every nuance of each and every band that attempted to imitate it first. Thankfully, and I'm not too sure if The Electric
City know this; these guys extricate themselves from that whole quagmire of triviality by peppering their sound with a voice so old school it could have been drafted straight out of the 80s, and an approach that owes as much to the Backyard Babies and Sign as it does to the aforementioned Monkeys.
Really, young upstarts The Electric City sound very little like anything knocking about at the moment, and in fact their debut three track is a comforting eye opener. Lead track Sleeping
with the Enemy
is possibly the strongest attempt, with a stomping chorus and a raspy vocal performance from singer/guitarist Andy J Taylor, yet I found their title track Elec

.'
Ashes and Diamonds' is a gently soaring, poignant mixture of wistful instrumentals which allow David Kay's vocals to lend themselves perfectly to a poppy, country-tinged ballad. The rootsy-Yorkshire rockers take some getting used to as they stand out from the overcrowded indie scene with their unlikely rock/country/pop style, but in Ashes and Diamonds' at least, the harmonies and melodies are spot on with the moving lyrics and this band's ability at creating atmosphere and mood is distinctive.

Voxtrot - Voxtrot 2007-08-21 11:49:01 -
I think my main problem with this release is it's press release. It's almost as if it's describing the wrong band, I find it very hard to hear a lot of the supposed comparisons and descriptions. I know it's the job of a PR to ensure a band sounds good, but this one makes them sound like the best band on the planet.
It's a fine album and Voxtrot are a perfectly competent Indie-Rock band, but fairly generic jangly American Indie, the clean type, very sharp, clear and precise. Full of carefully constructed and catchy melodies and hooks, the sort that would sound ideal on American College radio and prove very popular, the album floats somewhat into the background after a few tracks. Good but not groundbreaking.

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
@ The Cockpit, Leeds 01/08/07
Hurray, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster are back after a two year sabbatical following their departure from island records. GIITTV's Anne-Marie Douglas had a good old chat with them in the dressing rooms at The Cockpit, Leeds, mid-way through their In the Garden' EP Tour, discussing festivals, mash potato and the new EP, to the etiquette in men's urinals, voodoo, festivals and Yorkshire day!
AMD - Hey, how are you all? How's the tour going, you're about mid-way through now?
TEMBD - Yeah it's going well. It's good to be back on the road basically, it's cool. There's loads of people, it's good that after all this time the last time we toured was over two years ago, and just that so many people are still bothered to turn up, we're still playing sold out shows and people seem to be really into it.
AMD - You've said in a previous interview that you like playing in the North because peopl
Chica And The Folder - Under The Balcony 2007-08-20 16:34:06 -
Monika Enterprise, the stud farm of lyrical continental folktronica and home to more experimental treats than Professor Weetos' chocolate room, have dished up another brilliantly skew-whiff delight in the form of Chica
And The Folder
's synthtastic sophomore LP Under The Balcony
. Building on the heat-haze Eurodance and sloppy beats of 2003's 42 Mädchen album, Max Loderbauer and Paula Schopf take the myth that Germans are born without a sense of humour and dash it into oblivion with some hard-drive-crashing mischief and relentlessly slick production. Tracks like Angelus Novus are the perfect platform to showcase Chica's prickly combination of digital nostalgia and evil magic, as hilariously diabolical as Múm being molested by Paul Daniels, while more straight-laced foils catch the band getting all romantic to turn out round after round of potential soundtrack fodder. Huérfanos gargles a tongue-in-cheek mouthful of yearning midi and croaking pendulums, as five-point-one'd and w
Archangel - Physical Energy 2007-08-20 09:12:31 -
Unusual subject matter seems to be the order of the day on this release from Archangel, featuring the observations of an insomniac about someone who is asleep followed by a tale of a computer falling in love with its owner. Essentially a double A-side single, Physical Energy
' is the second release from the London based trio.
The title track has a darkness and sparsity to the music in keeping with its nocturnal setting. Ringing guitars hide behind distorted keyboards creating an ominous backdrop. Further distortion is applied to the vocals giving them a nasty, menacing manner complementing the lyrical observations. On the other hand, Drive' has a lighter tone to it. Made up of exactly the same musical components, the song has a much poppier sound and is more up tempo than the first track. This impression is increased by the deliberate immaturity of the lyrics combined with the slightly dubious nature of the story. Coming up with something a little different makes this a good
Goldspot - Friday 2007-08-20 09:09:03 -
Some songs scream of summer; it could be their infectious poppiness that makes everything sunnier or then there are those that instantly strike you as one of the songs that you'll hear blaring out of open car windows over and over as radio stations put them on heavy rotation. Goldspot would seem to have the qualities required to make themselves attractive to the airwaves.
Friday
' reeks of US teen drama with its bright melodies and uplifting lyrics, but in the real world it is utterly soulless and offensively bland. With singer Siddhartha Khosla claiming to mix the influence of bands such as The Cure and The Smiths into Goldspot's music, you would have hoped for a little more substance. As it is the mixture of half-hearted vocals and uninspired instrumentation is lightweight and forgettable. If you have a love of the type of music that can only come from the west coast of America then this may appeal, but most people should aim to avoid this.

Joan As Police Woman - Real Life 2007-08-20 09:02:17 -
Coming between summer festival appearances and the recording of the next album, the release of limited edition single Real Life
' is a parting shot from Joan As Police
Woman's debut album of the same name. With only gentle accompaniment, Joan Wassner's voice is made the main draw in this long-distance love story.
A simple piano progression, joined finally by a touch of strings, never threatens to overpower Wassner's soft vocals or to distract the listener from the tale. On top of this tender backdrop her slightly faltering voice pulls you in, increasing the level of intimacy of this already highly personal song. Every detail of the sending of a letter to a lover becomes infused with extra significance and meaning mirroring the importance of the note.
Real Life' is a perfect example of an extremely well-crafted song which, even without any suggestion of needing to build to an emotional peak or to meddle with the songs' slow pace, manages to be both beautiful and pow
Evan Almighty 2007-08-25 10:06:33 -
Making the step up from a scene stealing supporting actor to a legitimate Hollywood leading man is a notoriously difficult task that many promising actors have struggled with in the past. While both Will Ferrell and Jack Black have done so with spectacular results in recent years even their leading men resumes aren't glitteringly consistent, for every Anchorman there's a Bewitched and for every School of Rock there's a Shallow Hal or several other examples. So while Steve Carell finally made the step up with great results in The 40-year old virgin and Little Miss Sunshine perhaps it was inevitable that one of his star vehicles would eventually flounder.
Perhaps the main difference of Evan Almighty
compared to his first two lead roles is that he doesn't have the stellar supporting cast that he did with Virgin or Sunshine, while there he had helping hands from the wonderful Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and in the latter an award-winning performance from Alan Arkin, here he is all on
Stinky Munchkins - Release the Lions/Bad Timing 2007-08-25 03:42:36 -
This new double A-side single by disco'd Munchkins Dino Bardot, Daryl Doll and co. is a rather colourful affair. And that's just the artwork as for the music, it's rather patchy. Release
The Lions
is all over the place. A truly uncountable number of tunes are blended into one, mashed up song - it could be OK, but it is so confusingly cut'n'pasted that it's embarrassingly messy.
The song stop-starts to the point of exhaustion, and despite some funky riffs, it really wouldn't do much in the way of getting people off their seats and dance in a party environment (which is clearly the aim). Follow-up Bad Timing
is better.
Skatty guitars alongside intricate backing instrumentation, it is reminiscent of the first Rapture album with danceable grooves. However, while it is a decent light-hearted dance-pop song, fun and bouncy enough, it still sounds dated, in no way giving life to a tried and tested style of retro pop.
Average Munchkins, then.
Animal Collective - Peacebone 2007-08-25 03:38:20 -
The multitude of scattered electronic beeps that erupt from your speakers during the first thirty seconds of Peacebone' makes you wonder whether something has gone terribly wrong. Thankfully they soon settle into an addictively pulsing beat. These sparkling clusters of synths are then woven together into a rich sound tapestry alongside a myriad of strange noises and looping rhythms. The mixture of high pitched vocals with call and response choruses and bursts of spine-tingling screams create a distorted atmosphere and a sense of a deliberate lack of cohesion.
The other part of AnimalCollective
's first release since signing to Domino records is the more ethereal Safer'. Clocking in at around nine minutes, it contains several distinct sections yet patterns and rhythms dance and build throughout. Twinkling pianos and vocal echoes bounce around rumbles and growls in the distance conjuring up images of watching shadows flickering around a fire set deep in a forest at midnight Read more:Animal Collective
Asobi Seksu - Citrus 2007-08-24 11:56:06 -
Within the first minute of Citrus
', Asobi
Seksu shows more ambition and more character than the entirety of their wholly unexceptional debut. That album hinted at this band's instrumental talent and ability at sustaining mood through the highlights in Sooner', It's Too Late' and particularly Stay'. But for the majority of that album, Asobi Seksu
just seemed merely content to work in the collective shadow of My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Ride and their ilk that their shoegaze aesthetics sounded way too run-of-the-mill to be regarded with any interest or enjoyment.
For sure, Yuki Chikudate and colleagues are still indebted to these bands, but Asobi Seksu now has a personality. And it's a loud one: there's so much reverb and thrashing guitar effects on practically every track that initial listens will give the impression of a weaker latter album half just out of sheer redundancy. But stick with it.
Chris Zane (Les Savy Fav), introduces the album with his luminous pro
Deborah Harry - Necessary Evil 2007-08-23 14:31:11 -
Unlike Madonna, Debbie Harry
still has life pumping through her veins. Her first solo outing for fourteen years, Necessary
Evil is a strategic tour de force, incorporating elements of almost of her musical excursions, while keeping the style relatively close to the band that propelled her to superstardom, Blondie.
While this is only a five track sampler, it's certainly obvious that Necessary Evil is a veritable platter of influences, with each track taking a different approach musically, yet all remain stamped with her idiosyncratic vocal stylings. As the album progresses, the songs become more experimental, with Charm Alarm and the obscurely delivered Whiteout being the most abstract, with a Kate Nash, or even Lilly Allen brat-like nuance. However, each chorus the album offers is jam packed with the anthemic guitars, straight ahead drums, and elegant cool that graced the best of Blondie's material. Opener and stand out track Two Times Blue is by far the m
SlintKOKO, 22nd Aug 2007 2007-08-23 08:31:34 -
Spiderland is one of those rare beasts in music - an album that barely gets any recognition at the time, but by word of mouth grows to become a cult favourite. That it's now sold over 50,000 copies and inspired bands that have sold plenty more is testament to the ingenuity and quality of the work. To hear it played live is nothing short of epic, but let's not dive straight in - there is a support act to discuss first.
Alexander Tucker is a man who knows his way around a loop pedal or two. So much so that makes the entirety of his set. It's a hypnotic trick, to build up the layers of guitars and vocals, and in parts things drop back to an ominous drone before he's off again building and building. It's not that it's not enjoyable; it just feels a little aimless. It's not really ambient enough to be ambient, but at the same time it's not interesting enough to hold the attention for an entire set on its own. He's good though, and serves as an excellent warm up to Slint.
M.I.A - Kala 2007-08-23 08:22:08 -
Coming after a storming success with 2005's Arular, M.I.A. must be sweating in her combat boots. Music's a fickle business, and last year's rebel rebel comes off too easily as this year's poser. Well, anyone who dares to question the Sri Lankan-born rapper's sincerity, street-cred, or musical talent is looking for a nasty surprise, because Kala is grown-up where Arular was insolently adolescent, angry where Arular was superficial, and developed where Arular was coolly stark.
Not to diss that instant classic, but it was first and foremost a promise, a chance for a new idol to create herself. This is the fulfillment of that album's promise. M.I.A. has declared this sophomore album to be a tribute to her mother, whereas her debut was named for her revolutionary father. Yet the sounds of Kala are distinctly unfeminine, the in the traditional senses of the word. It's a more produced record, in contrast to the more straightforward Arular. But even though this album sound
Stars - In Our Bedroom After The War 2007-08-30 10:08:10 -
Rather like watching slow motion softcore porn with rose-tinted glasses and tears blurring your vision, Stars are an absurd proposition. Absurd, as the band absorb themselves in the melodrama of romance, pushing pretension to Smithsian limits, yet still quite brilliant. 2004's Set Yourself On Fire was a gem of an indie pop album, one that deserved to soundtrack the beginning and the end of magnificent love affairs (well, Ageless Beauty soundtracked The O.C. that's pretty close), but seemed under-appreciated by the public at large. The joy of that album was that it refused to hit you full on in the face, instead seducing you slowly and subtly. With little sexy whispers, Amy Millan and Torquil Campbell on joint vocals slipped you under the covers until, eventually, you realised you had fallen for their melancholic, sensual pop songs.
It's follow-up, In Our Bedroom
After The War, charts a similar course to its predecessor, studying relationships and heartbreak with whisp
Sum 41 - Underclass Hero 2007-09-03 10:21:31 -
If I'm one of the only people glad to see Sum 41 alive and kicking, I wouldn't be surprised. Practically alienating their entire fan base by sliding every so often into Bay Area thrash or harmony-based traditional metal, the Toronto four piece weren't exactly afraid to wear their influences on their sleeves, and with the album that by all means should have been their swansong 2004's Chuck these elements were pushed ever further until the boundaries were tangibly defunct. Personally, I found this overall progression an endearing quality to the band's often overlooked character, but it seemed the pop-punk fans of old hadn't matured, unlike the band itself. Not being a particular fan of the genre, I still believed Sum 41 to be one of the most inventive and infectious members of the pop-punk party, although not rivalling the likes of Blink 182 and Guttermouth. Despite a rather long lay off and the departure of founding guitarist Dave Brownsound' Baksh, Sum 41 have ret
Natalie Imbruglia - Glorious 2007-09-01 14:04:11 -
In the 90's there were more stars of Australian day time television stalking the charts than you could shake a stick at. Over the years the one hit wonders, less diverse and unappealing waifs and strays have hit the reject bin and returned home to take up a strenuous career in sheep farming. One little lady who has bucked the trend is NatalieImbruglia
, returning with a summery feel to new track 'Glorious' which forms part of a soon to be released singles collection out next month.
Under the tutorage and creative wizardry of Ben Hillier who has worked with a myriad of top bands in the past including Blur, Imbruglia aims to shake her way free of the weighty melancholic and high emotive shroud that has cloaked her last two albums to reveal a happier side to her personality and a true reflection of where she is in life. A new band line up including Speedway front woman Jill Jackson on guitar, ex-James Blunt drummer Karl Brazil and in demand keyboardist Sean Barry add a new spark Read more:Natalie Imbruglia
Intellectual or Ineffectual: The Role of Games in Modern Culture 2007-09-01 09:31:03 -
Go on, tell me. What's your perception of gaming. Just for kids? Fun, but not exactly requiring massive levels of intelligence? I suppose you're right: only kids play games, then you grow up, grow out of it, and move on to more acceptable fare like books and films. I'll see you in a coffee house, then, with a comic book hidden inside your copy of Sartre before you leave for the cinema. Die Hard 4.0, is it? Fair enough. Far worthier of your time than a game.
Or is it? Games
, lets face it, don't have the best reputation as something that'll hold up in a serious cultural discussion but do they deserve this downtrodden distinction? Not many people know that the main demographic of games players isn't the adolescent market who are usually associated with this particular pursuit: it's actually 20-35 year old men. So why do games have such an undeniably immature stature with most of the public? It's a difficult question, but one that needs to be answered: the view of gaming t Read more:Intellectual

PJ HarveyColston Hall, 24th Sept 2007 2007-09-27 09:40:35 -
Hailed by many as a return to top form, White Chalk sees Polly Jean experimenting with her ?church voice? and new found respect for the piano. The result is a beautifully crafted record which manages to reaffirm Polly's immense musical capabilities, much like Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea. Gone are the heavily distorted guitars and driving bass which characterised so many of her earlier live performances - instead we are now treated to auto-harp renditions of ?Down By The Water? (one of the many highlights of the evening), and stripped down versions of ?Horses? and ?The Whores Hustle, and the Hustlers Whore.? Draped in black Victorian dress and killer stilettos, Polly makes for an intriguing figure: part mourning widower, part sexy Victorian seamstress and every bit the enigma.
Classic Harvey tracks, ?Man Size?, ?Rid Of Me?, and of course, ?Dress? remain a stark reminder of just how far Polly has ventured since her emergence in the early 90s. It's undoubtedly an i

Manchester Orchestra - Wolves At Night 2007-09-26 11:39:14 -
With heartfelt lyrics and an intelligent sound, Manchester Orchestra
hail from Atlanta and are sat on the cusp of ?breaking through'. The band, who have played on David Letterman's late night chat show are to support Kings Of Leon on their November/December UK tour.
?Wolves
At Night
' is a brooding number, and a strong song to be chosen as a single with an easy to remember chorus and singable verse. The track starts relying on a rotating tom drum pattern which gives way to guitars which cut through with authority before sliding back in to the distance during the second verse.
The American quintet will definitely be worth watching out for ? fans of DIY indie will appreciate the musicality and vibe, whereas fans of singer songwriters will appreciate the high quality of writing. If there is an opportunity to catch Manchester orchestra live, take it with both hands ? you may regret it if you don't.
Ballarats, The - Someone's Jealous/Code Red 2007-09-26 08:39:20 -
A feisty Geordie foursome with a strong local following, The Ballarats release their first single, the double A side single ?Someone's Jealous
'/?Code Red'. Widespread media coverage has lavished praise upon the band, with the NME and BBC Radio Newcastle amongst their fans.
?Someone's Jealous' is a raucous two and a half minute work out that leaves no time to breathe as crashing guitars and aggressive drums stomp along. The chorus repetition of ?Someone's Jealous/Yeah Someone's Jealous? is memorable and gets the point of the song across, which works well as an introduction to the foursome.
?Code Red' opens with a vocal harmony that breaks into a Jet-like guitar and drum duet with a slightly corny count of one to eight from vocalist Jon Corbett. The song works well with a strong use of dynamics giving the track space to develop. A wonderfully shambolic guitar-off acts as the centre-point of the song's exit which is different to the to-be-expected chorus repetition-til-
