Brijitte West & The Desperate Hopefuls “From NY With Love” Whilst the name Brijitte West may not exactly be a household name in the UK, it is one that is […]
Nick Piunti “Trust Your Instincts” News of a new Nick Piunti album brings a great sense of excitement to http://www.thesoulofaclown.com. We’ve loved all his stuff that we’ve heard. Indeed, his […]
The Tip “Sailor’s Grave” It’s very rare that news of a new rock n roll band, with a sense of glam and sleaze passes us by, but that was the […]
Three Kings High “They Think They’re People” Three Kings High were a band who caught us on the hop with their first album “Hail”. It was an absolute corker, […]
Ryan Allen and His Extra Arms “Basement Punk” Having already released two brilliant albums, we are delighted to see Ryan back so soon with a new release. It is also […]
Barb Wire Dolls “Desperate” Crete, isn’t exactly the first place that comes to mind when we think of punk rock, but that’s where the Barb Wire Dolls hail from. Perhaps […]
Ezra Furman “Big Fugitive Life” It’s probably fair to say that Ezra Furman has enjoyed a surprising level of success in the UK recently. We certainly seem to have taken […]
Cold Years “Death Chasers” One of the biggest shocks about Cold Years is that they come from Scotland! They have a sound which is certainly routed in sunnier climates. Indeed, […]
D Generation “Nothing Is Anywhere” We really shouldn’t need to provide any intro for this band, for fans of modern punk rock they’re legends. They pretty much epitomise the cool […]
The Tip “S/T” The Tip’s bio contains some key words that immediately catch our attention: “Sleazy Bluesy Greasy Rock N Roll”. This self-titled album was actually released last summer, so […]
Jeff McDonald “S/T” It’s actually a bit of a travesty that we even have to introduce Jeff McDonald to you. In a just world, he would already be recognised as […]
Asylums “Killer Brain Waves” Asylums hail out of Southend on Sea but seem pretty intent on conquering the UK, if not the world. Ahead of this release, they have already […]
The Shondikes “Psychotic Make Out Music” The Shondikes are a band who have come out of nowhere, to us at least. But when we here that their music includes styles […]
Heroin Girls “Introducing Heroin Girls” Heroin Girls are led by artist, producer and performer, Billy Bulger. Given that more artistic background, it’s certainly not surprising to learn that they are […]
Ed Tang & The Chops “Magic Tricks and Rolling Stone” We review a lot of albums at http://www.thesoulofaclown.com but it’s pretty rare that it’s actually a local band. So it’s […]

The Split Seconds “S/T” This is the debut release from The Split Seconds, a band that are described as being ‘pop punk’. Now don’t run away! We’re not talking trash […]

Watts “Black Heart of Rock N Roll” For some reason the moment you hear that the Watts come from Boston, you kind of know that they’re just going to rock. […]
Role Models “Forest Lawn” The last release from Role Models, “The Go To Guy”, was one of our favourite albums of last year. So we are delighted that they are […]
The Right Here “Stick To The Plan” Any release on the Rumbar records label always immediately has our attention, but when the description of The Right Here’s sound is rowdy […]
Kraak & Smaak “Juicy Fruit” If we’re being honest, the name of this band did put us off a bit, however, the temptation of the reference to dancefloor boogie got […]
Josh Flagg “Tracing Shapes” When we first saw the name, we expected Josh Flagg to be ‘yet another’ slow paced and quiet singer song writer. However, when the press release […]
The Struts “Everybody Wants” Regular readers will know that we love a bit of rock n roll, especially when played by a band with a bit of style and bravado. […]
Margaret Glaspy “Emotion and Math” This may be Margaret Glaspy’s debut album, but she’s worked hard for it. Originally from California she moved to the East Coast and spent time […]
The Virginmarys “Divides” The term ‘hotly anticipated’ is often over used, but surely it’s true for this latest release by The Virginmarys. Let’s be honest, there aren’t many decent UK […]
A.Sinclair “Get Out Of The City” Whilst A.Sinclair may be a new name to you, it is clear that he has earned his stripes. This includes fighting in the DIY […]
Razor Bats “This High” EP We only recently reviewed Razor Bats last album “Camp Rock” (see here). We absolutely loved that and were therefore very excited to hear they had […]
