Skimmed – Summer Lovers – LP review

As promised when I wrote about Skimmed in November 2012 here is the review of the thirteen track LP Summer Lovers – which was released on the 23rd February 2013. Opening with the familiar and signature sound is Ronnie an invitation in to the darkened sultry tease that is Skimmed. An evocative underlay and vocal […]

The Pocket Gods – In Search Of The Divine – LP review

Sadly it has been three years since my diary and The Pocket Gods coincided when I reviewed Come On England (No Nookie or Playstation) so it is with some relief that I am able to get on track with the 14 track 50 minute long LP – In Search Of The Divine. That delay isn’t anything to […]

Tears For Annie an alternative electro outfit from London in England has a new EP set for release on the 25th March 2013 – Purple Heart.

It was back in August 2012 that I introduced the US indie band Boxed Wine and they have now released their EP – Cheap, Fun which came out on the 22nd January 2013.

Junior – Dia Uno / Cariño, Rapido! Un Ticket Hacia Vos – EP review

Just under a year ago I took a look at Junior from Argentina. With nothing in between suddenly arrived in my inbox news of Dia Uno / Cariño, Rapido! Un Ticket Hacia Vos a three track EP. To be fair – I had low expectations as the last set of music I received was an absolute delight. But my muffled […]

Marc Evans – Chasing Daylight – EP review

Back in April 2011 I introduced Marc Evans and over the intervening years his style has changed for a fuller sound and here I review the three track EP – Chasing Daylight. A couple of years on and immediately we find a more luxuriant space as Beautiful Blueberries floats out of the speakers, whilst there is a recognizable style, the […]

El Rayo Verde – Condicional Material Inverso – LP review

I wrote about El Rayo Verde back in November 2012 and commented on their prodigious recorded output –  a few months later – they have released a thirteen track LP - Condicional Material Inverso. Brevity is the name of the game here and the intro is appropriately named Preludio and lasts for all of 31 seconds – a not so […]

The Newds – Ready – EP review

The Newds from Bolton in England released a new EP – Ready –  on the 13th January 2013. Back in the last century (1999) to be more precise Paul Meagher (Vocal / Guitar) and Dean Woods (Guitar) set up an art school project, after various iterations the current line-up of this alternative indie band includes both Paul […]

Southern Brotherhood from Bournemouth in England release a new 12 track LP Magic Carpet Ride on the 21st December 2012. I first met Andy De Rosa in late 2010 when he was playing in a London based out-fit Andy De Rosa and Electric Mojo, he has since relocated to the South coast of England where […]
