voice of a generation
We found the term voice of a generation in 32 articles.
Time after time Muse's epic soundscapes entice me; however hard I try to resist; and thoroughly excellent new single "Starlight" is no different.
My Awesome Compilation: Actions
I had an awesome compilation once. It had some G n' R, lots of Queen and, I think, some Skid Row and Whitesnake.
To a backdrop of a velvet curtain and harsh white lighting Johnny Borrell exploded onto the stage. His extremely accomplished voice swept through all our favourites: 'Golden Touch', 'In The Morning', and so on.
The Cribs @ Bradford University
The Cribs weren't set to play close to home on this tour, so when Ryan Jarman announced this Bradford University show as their 'home-town gig' the Wakefield chants were inevitable.
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. @ Cockpit
I completely missed Dartz; slack I know. I did get stopped at the door though, where I was stood queuing with non other that Get Cape.
The Psychedelic Breakfast: s/t
The Pyschedelic Breakfast charge in where most would fear to tread. They have a very rough grasp of the way that some of the Los Angeles/San Franciso musics sounded nearly 40 years ago, and the sleeve displays a fancy dress appreciation of the basic visual elements of hippy chic.
With so many singer/songwriters about at the moment, it's understandable that people are looking for something different.
This is the third album from Jeff Klein, a New Yorker relocated to Austin, Texas. It opens with the title track, with lullaby acoustic guitars and some truly beautiful, sparse, throbbing slide guitar.

Mountaineers: Motions Of Interplanetary Dust
Mountaineers 'do not aspire to evoke a past we cannot relate to, they do not sound like anyone else...
Nine Black Alps: Everything Is
Nine Black Alps are the latest in the long line of bands to be adorned with that oft used title 'The Next Nirvana' but for anyone who is now hearing band names such as Silverchair, Puddle of Mudd and Bush, fear not.
Cha Cha Cohen: All Artists are Criminals
This is an angry piece of work. Jaqi and Keith Gregory have gone to Australia and do not intend to promote the product.
Featuring the talents of Bill Hudson (harmonica, penny whistle, melodica, percussion and backing vocals) Dougie Brister (vocals, lead guitar), Cecil Zinyuku (vocals, guitar, percussion and production), with contributions from Denny Austin (rhythm guitar, vocals, songwriting), and Liz Mackenzie (songwriting and vocals).
10 Days: The Future is Unwritten
"10 Days are one of the truly original bands on the underground currently." "Ten Days are a trio to be at the forefront of the next generation of alt.guitar bands in this city." With chronic press notices like those any band is going to struggle to make an impression.
For a band that describes themselves as 'Italian Pop / Dutch Pop / Chinese Pop' I was somewhat anxious of the audio content of Yonderboy's demo.
This is such a good idea, and such a good CD that everyone should know about it. Xi have self-produced a three track demo CD that shows exactly where the band have got to after four years of steady graft and four drummers.
Ryan Spendlove is name to watch. He has a pretty face, a sharp-tongued soulful voice and the kind of snarly delivery that every generation likes to call its own.
Wakefield's The Old House are no ordinary band. Chris Billingham, Craig Newman Matt Knee and Paul Reid are fresh, enthusiastic and fizzing with ideas.
Guitars. Lots and lots of guitars. Leather, screaming girls, sweat, passion, sex, sleaze, bourbon. Just some of the things that pop into my head when I think of the words Rock n Roll.
The deBretts: First Come First EP
You may have stumbled across The deBretts at one of their two jaunts into Leeds where they played The Faversham.
Polly Paulusma: Scissors in my Pocket
Newspapers and magazines have a habit of either creating new genres, or just blowing them out of all proportion.
Rob Nichols is some rare creature darting across the normally beaten tracks with a flurry of noises and graceful swerves, to disappear in the woods and haunt your memory weeks later.
Damien Rice is already on stage as I enter the hall and I later discover I have missed support act Carrie Tree.
Gamma Ray Sam: A Short Course in Long Term Happiness
I'd be surprised if the irony in the title of this album was lost on anyone who listened to it. As per usual the PR pamphlet that came along with said album tells me that it is 'highly acclaimed'.
Nottingham's Headway may or may not have chosen to call themselves the same thing as the Brain Injury Association, but they certainly do not induce any sort of injury on you.
Arctic Monkeys: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
There's that little bit of elitist in me that would just love to shoot this album down right from the off, to rip into it with merciless vigour and launch a tirade about how why it's because of bands like the Arctic Monkeys that music isn't like it used to be.
Seemingly bursting out of nowhere from Queens, New York last year with debut 'The Fine Art Of Self Destruction' Jesse Malin won over a legion of fans with his punk-inspired yet, gentle, melodic and lyrically strong songs in the classic songwriter mould.
The Darkness: Permission To Land
You must understand, The Darkness are not a joke band. This is not the Electric Six playing it for laughs.
To release this double A side at any other time of the year than sweltering July would have been highly foolish.
"100,000,000 Bon Jovi fans can't be wrong" declared the New Jerseyites' career spanning box set. Whilst there is no doubting that Bon Jovi have consistently 'shipped units' for over 20 years and won just about every music award going (along with Jon Bon Jovi's Oscar nomination for his solo work) there's a serious divide over the band's credibilty.
Soul-kissed by Kiki Call me old-fashioned but it's so refreshing to actually hear a singer just singing.
Upon entering Jesse Malin's dressing room at Sheffield's Club Zero we encounter not only the man himself but also a bowl of jelly babies. This can only be a good thing...
