Catl “This Shakin’ House” We mainly like to stick to recent releases on this site but occasionally even we miss out on a great album. Certainly, when we heard Catl […]
Savoy Motel “S/T”
Savoy Motel “S/T” We’re always keen on hearing a band that has a bit of seventies glam and funk about it. That would certainly appear to be the case with […]
The Ghost Of Lovers “S/T”
The Ghost Of Lovers “S/T” We pride ourselves on our knowledge, and indeed love, of 80/90’s Hair Metal/Glam/Sleaze rock (you won’t find many sites brave enough to admit that these […]
CRX “New Skin”
CRX “New Skin” Like everyone, we’ve enjoyed plenty of Stroke’s songs (especially their debut album), but we’ve never quite been as enamoured as other people. Sure, they’ve got some great […]

Cadaver Club “It’s Always The Quiet Ones”
Cadaver Club “It’s Always The Quiet Ones” On first glance, this may not be a band we’d be attracted to. Their look is very much influenced by a B Movie […]
Love Zombies “Passion Fruit”
Love Zombies “Passion Fruit” Love Zombies have been on our radar for some time now, which is no surprise given their love for creating catchy pop punk sounds. They come […]
Steve Conte “International Cover Up”

Pixies “Head Carrier”
Pixies “Head Carrier” Pixies’ last ‘comeback’ album was treated with a bit of a ‘snobbish’ attitude by many critics. For some reason they seemed to take offence at a classic […]
Lydia Loveless “Real”

Last Great Dreamers “Transmissions From Oblivion”

The Tip “S/T”
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”
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 […]
Heroin Girls “Introducing Heroin Girls”

The Virginmarys “Divides”
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 […]
