Spokes
Spokes- People Like People Like You 6/10 The term ‘post-rock’ has re-emerged recently and has been scoffed at by some music critics. In the past it’s been used to describe such bands as Explosions In The Sky, Tortoise and even Mogwai. The latest band to get the tag attached to them is Spoke, a band [...]

Jeff the Brotherhood/ Screaming Females
Jeff the Brotherhood/ Screaming Females- Split 7″ 5/10 This isn’t quite what I expected from Jeff the Brotherhood and Screaming Females. Both these tracks seem very conservative, are clean cut and have a pretty standard rock sound. Compared to their previous releases, both bands have dragged home the rope on their wild ways, stripping [...]

A/S/L?
Rabid Pixie Meat So it looks like someone stole your favourite band name. Yep, Aria Jalali from Railcars has a new band, called A/S/L? and it’s the most outrageous thing we’ve heard since BMX Rapists.

Peaches
Peaches- I Feel Cream 8/10 When Peaches released Impeach My Bush in 2006 things couldn’t get much better for the Canadian super-star. Her sexually charged electro-punk reached new heights, signalling a peak in her career. But after blasting out more smutty bangers, it was time for her to try something different. Sure it fits her [...]
