Mar 31 2006 All Wembley Stadium Gigs Cancelled
They haven’t built it yet
If you pick up a copy of the re-issued Beatles compilation Capital Albums Vol. 2 when it is released next month you might notice something different from the original version. EMI have deemed is necessary to remove cigarettes all four members of the band are holding on the cover artwork.
So convinced are the label that […]
Mar 27 2006 The Beauty Shop - Yard Sale
The third album from The Beauty Shop continues to gain the band fans and critical acclaim, building on the underground success of Yr Money Or Yr Life and Crisis Helpline.
The opening track of the album, Monster, bears a startling similarity to Fairytales & Lovesongs by All One Surface but […]
Mar 21 2006 Big Strides - Let’s Get Nice
They may have earned themselves enough critical acclaim to last a lifetime with their debut album Big Town, Small Strides but that doesn’t mean they’re not going to do it all over again, as they prove with the first single from their second album, Let’s Get Nice.

Mar 21 2006 A Million Billion - Volcano Season

Holy crap, this is in all honestly, amazing. Brakes release a Graham Sutton remix of their scatty punk song All Night Disco Party, and I’m so glad they have.
This is a stomping, eat you alive kind of song, made more so with the powers of computer and stuff that people who remix songs use. The […]
Mar 15 2006 Boy Kill Boy - Civilian
Boy Kill Boy are four lads from East London on the verge, some say, of being very big indeed. Vertigo Records certainly thought so, picking them up off the back of a couple of single releases via Fierce Panda last year, which, yes, means things have happened very quickly.
The […]
Mar 10 2006 The Buzzcocks - Flat Pack Philosophy
Yeah, The Buzzcocks, them ones from the ‘70’s who did Ever Fallen in Love With Someone? They’re back with a new album, which I had absolutely no idea about until it plopped out of the parcel onto my desk.
Now, with a band reappearing thus, you could be afraid that they’ve reincarnated themselves as […]
