Posted in CD Review: Biffy Clyro - Puzzle

I heard a couple of tracks off this the other day and it sounds amazing, proper big and ballsy. Skill.

Posted in CD Review: Jesse Malin - Broken Radio

Over 20 years maybe, Jesse isn't THAT old

This is a great tune off a great album. It's amazing that he isn't more popular given the quality of his songwriting, but it suits me just fine if we keep getting to see him in small venues!

Posted in CD Review: Kaiser Chiefs - Everything Is Average Nowadays

This is a right pop song, brilliant.

Posted in CD Review: Funeral for a Friend - Into Oblivion (Reunion)

Just got the new album and it sounds amazing.

Posted in Live Review: Otherside + New Vinyl + The High Chairs + Ins and Outs

Because the moronic views of the Otherside's fans have made my mind up for me that I probably won't like the band if that is the sort of following they attract.

Posted in CD Review: Jesse Malin - Glitter In the Gutter

This is another top album from Malin. Fans of The Replacements, Paul Westerberg, Springsteen or Warren Zevon will definitely like this.

Posted in Live Review: The Libertines + Parva

Wow, this could get resurrected in The Sun and be this years big scandal. Whiskas vs Pete Doherty, it'll be like the UFC on ice.

Posted 9th March 2007 at 10:45

Posted in Live Review: The Little Blackhearts + The High Chairs

Wow this is just like Hollyoaks but even more boring!

The comments are longer than the review!

Posted in Live Review: Bowling For Soup + Son Of Dork + Army Of Freshmen

"one of best and most exciting tours ever"

I think that sentence was missing "featuring these 4 bands" from it somewhere.

If your life has been affected by a loved one seeing any of these bands live then please call 0800 BANDS THAT SUCK and we can offer counselling and a removal service of any records and merchandise related to these bands from your home to help those affected get their lives back on track.

We also offer counselling for embittered Southerners who have problems being on a Northern based websites. We'll put you on a diet of gravy and coal until a whippet and flat cap emerges from your arse.

Posted in Band Profile: My Exploding Heart

Thanks Dave, we have tried to just write good, strong songs. We're not ones for fashions or trends, we just want to make good music and the feedback has been really good so far. We like it and if other people do to then that's great.

Add us as a friend on Myspace, don't think I've seen a request from you.

F***ing hell I hope my mum doesn't read this!

Sory Miss Holdsworth but I shall have to decline that kind offer or I may face death.

Posted in CD Review: Little Man Tate - About What You Know

What an excellently written review. Great work.

Posted 26th January 2007 at 14:55

Posted in Live Review: Wolfmother + ¡Forward, Russia! + Fields

What a cock.

Free-loading piece of shit. There will have been other reviewers equally eager and more talented who wanted to go to that gig to write something worthwhile. And people who would have wanted to read something worthwhile too.

Dreamer's Club is an ace tune.

Posted in CD Review: Scott Matthews - Passing Stranger

This is a wicked album. Bought it after seeing him support Foos, not surprised all the hype has kicked in now, just hope it doesn't put people off as this really is worth checking out.

Posted 11th November 2006 at 01:10

Posted in CD Review: Armstrong - Can't Go Back

Tut tut Mr Garnett! This is an excellent single! Some real rock music for a change instead of all the samey samey shit we're usually subjected to each week!

Buy this music lovers!

Posted in CD Review: four day Hombre - Experiments in Living

Been watching the First Word.. vid and it's a quality tune. Skipped me by at first but after a re-visit it's grown on me substabtially.

Posted 9th March 2006 at 23:53

Posted in News Article: Kaiser Chiefs honoured with Best Album at NME Awards 2006

Excellent work! Well done gents!

Posted 23rd February 2006 at 23:39

Posted in CD Review: The Call - Push On

If someone can dismiss something because it's pop music then I'm not really interested. Yeah Michael Jackson, Burt Bacharach, A-Ha, Duran Duran, The Kinks, and many more...all the lowest form of music that wasn't it?

Posted 18th February 2006 at 11:24

Posted in CD Review: four day Hombre - The First Word Is The Hardest

Well it got 4 and a half stars didn't it you prick?

Posted 14th February 2006 at 23:08

Posted in CD Review: Funeral for a Friend - History

FFAF are actually excellent live. I was forced into seeing them at Leeds 04 and was mightily impressed.

Posted in Band Profile: The Cribs

I think the Cribs write excellent pop songs. I wasn't sure at first after seeing them live but the records won me over and the live set at Leeds festival was sublime.

Posted 8th November 2005 at 12:29

Posted in CD Review: Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better

Franz Ferdinand are the worst and ever to release a record. Even worse than Phixx.

Posted 7th November 2005 at 23:12

Posted in CD Review: Test Icicles - Circle, Square, Triangle

It's not a bad song but there are 100 bands all playing exactly the same song and getting signed and being bummed by the NME at the moment.

It is rather boring.

Posted in CD Review: The Glitterati - Back In Power

Nothing. Come to the COckpit Monday, it's going to be an ace gig, especially my DJ set at the afershow. I'll be playing GnR.

Posted 20th October 2005 at 23:45

Posted in Live Review: The Glitterati + Easykill + Phluid

Erm sorry. Apparently it was the Leeds Phluid, except there have been some member changes. oops

Posted 13th October 2005 at 14:15

Posted in CD Review: Bon Jovi - Have A Nice Day

That's because everyone else would have reviewed the nae on the cover, not the content inside. I'm not afraid to say when Bon Jovi are shit (i.e This Left Feels Right and half of the last 2 albums) but this is an excellent record.

Posted 11th October 2005 at 18:32

Posted in Live Review: White Rose Movement + Protocol + Dead Disco

It's not just offensive, it's poorly written and hasn't been thought out at all.

Posted 28th September 2005 at 17:51

Posted in Live Review: Foo Fighters + Arcade Fire + Rise Against + Hot Hot Heat + The Kills + Dogs + Arctic Monkeys + Million Dead + Nine Black Alps + The Explosion + Senses Fail + Editors

I thought the stripped down Everlong was the highlight of the set, if not the festival!

Posted 13th September 2005 at 23:46

Posted in Live Review: Marilyn Manson + LCD Soundsystem + British Sea Power + Komakino + Maximo Park + O Fracas + The Adventures Of Loki + ¡Forward, Russia!

Foos were awesome, highlight of the festival along with The Cribs methinks.

Posted in Live Review: The Sunshine Underground

It doesn't necessarily say the reviewer got into this gig for free. A lot of submissions come when people have just been to gigs off their own back.

Quite often people attend gigs and may not catch all of the acts for varying reasons. Is it unfair to miss out some of the bands from a review? Perhaps. Is it more unfair not to review any of the bands just because you missed others? Definitely.

Posted 11th August 2005 at 00:09

I should be a talent scout

Posted in CD Review: The Subways - Young for Eternity

I thought it was a very good article. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't give you the right to insult a well written and informative piece of work.

Posted 13th July 2005 at 00:12

Posted in CD Review: Juliette & The Licks - You're Speaking My Language

Indeed, horses for courses. I was pleasantly surprised though. An I love the Boss Hogg stuff too which may explain all !

Posted 30th May 2005 at 22:58

"you must obviously be a Franz Ferdinand fan"

Based on what? They are shit.

Posted in Live Review: It Takes Bridges + Bad Beat Revue + The Acutes

Booooooo! Bad Beat Revue are far from dull. It's not new but it's still energetic and exciting, the same way and old rock record never fades.

Posted 29th January 2005 at 11:28

Posted in CD Review: The Bilderberg Group - This City!

Hurrah. The most sensible response on here to a review ever, I applaud you.

Posted in Live Review: Jon Gomm

He had every basis. When will people grasp the fact that reviews are opinions, not the gospel. Your opinion differs to Simon's, get over it.

Your remarks just seem extremely petty and childish.

Posted 7th January 2005 at 14:47

Posted in CD Review: Jimmy Eat World - Futures

There's no such thing as emo anyway.

There's rock, pop, country, blues, classical, rap and RnB. That's about all you need.

This is a rock album.
And an excellent one at that.

Posted in Live Review: Hundred Reasons

Yeah The Cockpit is getting hotter and hotter but the Uni is a disgrace. Even right at the back the walls are drenched with sweat. They must make a fortune on the gigs they have there. Why not install some decent air con?

Posted in CD Review: Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces

The video is awesome for its cheese factor. Every cliche going in 3 minutes.
The song is amazing though.

Everyone should try talking with their tongue literally in their cheek for a day. It's fun.

Nice review, lots of new writers emerging, keeps us old stagers on our toes!

Posted 21st October 2004 at 13:33

Posted in News Article: Xi to release limited edition single on 21st October...

Why's this gonna be limited edition? Surely it makes more sense for an unsigned band to produce as many copies as required?

Or is it a limited edition of 40,000,000
