Art Brut Album Review | It’s A Bit Complicated

I love Art Brut. I felt I should say that before I start the album review so there’s no thoughts of a conflict of interest. I first heard of them in 2004 when ‘Formed a band’ and ‘Modern Art’ started being played on MTV2 and Radio 1. I remember ‘Emily Kane’ being released as a […]

Bloc Party - Hunting For Witches | Single and Video Review

This is Bloc Party, with their fantastically good new single ‘Hunting for Witches’ which came out on July 9th. The band have seemingly been everywhere in the past 2 weeks, with both Glastonbury and Live Earth performances under their belts. I think this song comes across really well both live and on record, and it’s […]

Spice Girls Tour News | They’ve Hired A Therapist!

The Spice Girls recently announced their reunion and comeback world tour. You’d already know that, unless you’ve got blinkers on to avoid any news on pop groups reforming to make some quick and easy money. What you may not know is that they’ve hired a therapist for the tour!
Clearly Slaggy, Dykey, Oldie, Gravelly and […]

Shed Seven Reform | Yet Another Band Makes a Comeback

How many is that now? We’ve already had The Police, The Spice Girls, The Verve and now Shed Seven.They are slightly different in that they haven’t got ‘The’ in front of their name but apart from that, they are yet another British band deciding it’s time to have another crack at the big time.
I was […]

Guitar Hero 80s Full Track Listing | The British Contingent Preview

I’m a huge Guitar Hero fan, even though I joined the party late, receiving Guitar Hero II just last Christmas. Since then I’ve all but beaten the game with 5 stars on all Hard songs and only 5 left to do on Extreme, man they are tough! And then I got given Guitar Hero I […]

Live Earth London Concert Review | Who Rocked Wembley Stadium?

7/7/07 came and it was time for Live Earth. There were 8 concerts in all held around the world, starting in the East and moving Westwards throughout the day due to timezones.
I watched pretty much all of the coverage of the London leg of this World event, with the BBC fitting the gig around the […]

Live Earth, Glastonbury & Diana Concert All Beset By Sound Problems

First it was Glastonbury, then the ‘Concert for Diana‘, now as I sit here watching the ‘Live Earth‘ concert coverage from London, it’s happening again. Why are all the big concerts suffering from crappy sound systems and technical problems?
Last month’s Glastonbury festival was a great success with most pundits and fans in attendance saying it […]

Travis’ Fran Healy Confronts Drunken Fan During Gig

I’ve always loved Scottish band Travis, even before they hit the big (read huge) time with the release of ‘The Man Who’ in 1999. I was there from the beginning, owning first album ‘Good Feeling’ and playing ‘All I Want To Do Is Rock‘ on repeat over and over again.
I have huge respect for […]

The Verve Reform & Announce Tour

The Verve, one of the best British bands of the 90s, are back, in a twist to their story which no-one saw coming. When the band split in 1999, it was so acrimonious, I certainly thought that was it for the Indie Alternative group. Instead, here they are back together, and set to tour in […]
