Extra Classic
Warm Heart Of Africa It’s not very often I come across a band possessing such diverse qualities, especially those being expressed by Extra Classic. The Kansas/San Francisco quintet fuse reggae with a suffocating dose of psychedelia, bouncing along on a summery rhythm and with a wasted youthful guise. Adrienne Verhoeven fronts the group with [...]

The White Stripes
Under A Microscope Last night we watched The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights, a film by Emmett Malloy documenting the Detroit duo’s extensive escapades in Canada in 2007. The incredibly detailed documentary intersperses live footage with intimate interview sequences with the band, mainly Jack, whose upfront character is brought to light in a [...]

Rare Grooves
Twominutemen Disappointment struck me yesterday when I read that one of my favourite bands of 2009 had split. But the bad news was quickly overcome when I learnt that The Widow Babies had just downscaled and changed their name to Rare Grooves, with guitarist Danny Millar and drummer Tabor Allen continuing to work together.

Ponies In The Surf
Crossing The Fields Imbuing a ramshackle country quality to their magical, jangly folk pop, brother-sister duo Camille and Alexander McGregor have been making music under the heart-explodingly cute moniker Ponies In The Surf for five years.

My Leaves Are Shaking Mixing Casiotone For The Painfully Alone‘s sincerity and speedy drum machine beats with Moldy Peaches’ ramshackle insecurity and Daniel Johnston‘s wavering tone of despair, California’s Jon Barba, AKA Nicole Kidman, makes cautiously heart-on-sleeve, scratchy pop music. ‘Thirst For God’ is a speedy attack aiming straight for the heart, and ‘Obsessed’ could [...]
