Seasick Steve
I Started Out With Nothin And I Still Got Most Of It Left
Desperate-to-be-edgy, carbohydrate-stodgy white music review, written by a witless sixth-form level hack pretending to be a...

Tony Christie
Made In Sheffield
I'm with Margarett here. I feel that a Merill Davis Osmond NME cover is only a matter of...

Album Review: Anti Flag - 'The People Or The Gun'
Proper old-school angry punk music
...except Green Day's new album received 8/10 as well. Shit conspiracy theory,...

Album review: Juice Aleem - 'Jerusalaam Come'
Witty, matey Brit rap
"...he comes across as a clever, chill bro who you could have a beer with and he’d listen to your problems and nod appropriately. "...

Album Review: Lucky Elephant
A trunk packed full of loveliness
"Nelly’s allegorical journey was one of emancipation if examined deeper than its childlike semblance." This is what happens when it's...

Album review: The Twang - 'Jewellery Quarter'
Any hopes of a reinvention are dashed as the Brummie's second LP crashes hard
Agreed, The Twang are utterly shite, but, fuck me, this is a bloody terribly put together review. Cringe-worthy, full of Heat magazine style...

Album review: Noah And The Whale - 'The First Days Of Spring'
London folkies grow up and cut back their chirpiness to turn in a corker of an album
Intrigued by the concept of a 'regretful shag...

Album review: Animal Collective - 'Fall Be Kind' (Domino)
The most talked about band in the world with an EP that still defies easy categorisation
Oh Jesus. Please, shove your ''yack-stack'' and your ''future-new'' bollocks up your arse. Your 'Journalism in...

Album review: Slash - 'Slash' (Roadrunner)
What took him so long? You might well wonder...
Does anyone proof read around here any more? What a fucking mess that was. Also, the mark doesn't match the review, not by any stretch. 7/10...

Album Review: Seth Lakeman - 'Hearts & Minds' (Virgin/Relentless)
A radically unprofound offering
Ignore Seth's pals here - this review is spot on. Absolutely terrible album. Typically pompous ''you just don't *understand* the...

Album Review: Seth Lakeman - 'Hearts & Minds' (Virgin/Relentless)
A radically unprofound offering
@ Joe_BrewerCheck you facts, sir. For what it's worth, this album was leaked (and readily available from the usual places one would hear a leaked...

Album Review: Seth Lakeman - 'Hearts & Minds' (Virgin/Relentless)
A radically unprofound offering
To be fair, Matt, Dom and Chris are from Cambridge, Stockport and Rotherham respectively - none of them ended up in Devon till they were ~8 years old...

Album Review: French Horn Rebellion - The Infinite Music Of French Horn Rebellion (Once Upon A Time)
FHR seem so caught up in being hipster douchebags they're oblivious to the fact their album is rather soulless
An example of what happens when you make the work-experience girl permanent. Still, this sort of review probably counted as 'edgy', back in...
