This EP certainly harks back to the psychedelic ear of the sixties

Here we are again, and I’m tackling an Australian band from Melbourne. I’m not going to lie, the only thing I know musically from Australia is Nick Cave related. For this, I apologize to all Australians. In any case, NME seem to be rather interested in them, and they’re damn hard to Google, which they say is the point. They’re called Me, and their debut EP, to be released soon, is called Naked. I reviewed an EP of theirs, …

Every track snapshots emotions that emerge as the day unwinds
Hello and welcome to 2012. Thank you for following this blog; I’d like to make this really simple for you and me. Are you the type of person who doesn’t really bother what music is being played anytime of your life? If yes, most probably you never bought an original music record, let alone looking for new music that fits your brainwaves, or being picky on playing the right music that suites your moods. Then you can be classified as part …

Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack and A Problem Like Maria get together
Music always played a major role in my life and most of the time, it was even more important than anyone else around me. Good? Bad? Who knows what’s good or not, all I know is that I still made it. Being so much into music for most of my life, I frequently get asked which is my favourite genre, favourite artist or band, album or song. It’s quite difficult to tell. Even though I’ve been following a …

As a band of three, their sound is big
As a band of three, their sound is big. Beecher’s Fault emit raw emotion with their hooks, and their thought provoking messages are beautifully shared to listeners via Ben’s vocals and their delicately constructed lyrics. For a music sampler, this self titled EP impresses. Beecher’s Fault have enough backbone to make it, with a music business that is now overflowing with room for talented new musicians that have something new to offer.
Opening track ‘Liars’ is infectiously catchy; out of the five tracks …

An apology cake, prepared and delivered straight to the fans from the Metallica ovens
 
Well they’re calling it an ‘EP’, but it’s really a gift wrapped ‘big-bow-on-top-and-it-sparkles-so-you-forget-what-we-did’ apology cake, prepared and delivered straight to the fans from the Metallica ovens. After the DIABOLICAL excuse for an album that was the Lou Reed collaboration ‘Lulu’, we all felt a bit betrayed and abused. Metallica have never been one to bow to any public demand, or any semblance of peer pressure, but I think when the feedback from Lulu was GLOBALLY hated, even …

It’s electronic, pop, fuzzy, addictive, and crazy! No better description for Francobollo’s new EP; Harpholma. If you are always eager about discovering new music and sounds, Hardholma EP should be going round at 10,000 RPM in your CD player.
FRANCOBOLLO is a four piece band which originates from an island where the Queen still has power to dissolve the parliament, aka United Kingdom, and the cold land of the Vikings, aka as dark Sweden. Simon Nilsson is on vocals and guitars, Sean Bean is the one who beats the drums, while …

The Damn Jammage have only been on the scene since 2010, having seemingly burst out of North London fully-formed and slightly insane, with huge infusions of Tom Waits and Nick Cave. Considering that those are two of my favourite artists, I figured that I’d give these guys a spin.
No Rest For The Crooked’s heavy tom-based intro sounds like The Birthday Party mixed with the growl of Tom Wait’s, a mix of the weird cabaret that both these artists have experimented with and embraced. The Eastern-European beat drives this song completely, …

And the Giraffe- Evocative ‘dream-folk’ music from Florida duo.
 
American duo Nick Roberts and Joshua Morris make up the band And the Giraffe- an odd name but one that suits their musical style perfectly.  The echoic guitar melodies laced with delay, gentle percussion and soothing vocals create a mood of a gentle and unassuming intelligence resonant of their namesake animal. The mood the band convey is really powerful and, as Maimed and Tamed commented on the band, “It is not very often that you come across music that has the ability …

In today’s competitive music industry, many bands are trying very hard to generate that unique sound that might strike their lucky charm. In doing so, they end up having more band members than fans. Gone are the days when a band only consisted of four key people, or are they? I’d like to introduce you to New Manhattan. Coming from UK’s capital, London, New Manhattan is a raw band comprising of a singer, a guitarist, a bassist and a drummer. After all the influence I’ve been getting from this music …
