The organisers of the Secret Garden Party festival never do things by half….as shown by their latest promotional video. Be warned though, it will leave you desperate for Summer!!
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 […]
Love/Hate “Before The Blackout”
Love/Hate “Before The Blackout” Love/Hate are one of those bands that never quite got the success or acclaim that they truly deserved. They were incorrectly lumped in with the LA […]

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 […]
Steve Conte “International Cover Up”
Steve Conte “International Cover Up” In general, we’re not really a fan of cover versions. However, if Steve Conte is releasing an album of covers you need to step up […]
Bullet Proof Lovers “S/T”
Bullet Proof Lovers “S/T” Let’s be honest, the name Bullet Proof Lovers was enough for us to know we’d want to review this album. The fact it is being released […]
The Ghost Riders In The Sky “The Death Of Everything New”
The Ghost Riders In The Sky “The Death Of Everything New” We stumbled, almost literally, across Ghost Riders In the Sky at this year’s 2000 Trees Festival. It was originally […]
The Doublecross “Keep Bleeding”

Lydia Loveless “Real”

Ezra Furman “Big Fugitive Life”
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”
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”
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”

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 […]

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 […]
