SUBAQWA

"Let I Go" is a fabulously beautiful song that should at least  have topped the indie charts and "check your space" should fill the moshpit every week at Snobs  instead of "song 2" .

cd & live

"Your love  is a parking lot with pot holes and faded lines and the kids dont hang because the cops just chase them away"

.............After an hour they try to leave ,dripping in sweat,but we wont let them and they play 3 encores,finishing with the beautiful "whos the one " that builds into a frenzy of drums,bass and guitars.

AMOEBA PERSONA

.....Ok so they re still too young not to heavily wear their influences like magicians sleeves but I ve heard the stuff in development and they re evolving and changing and becoming a band for themselves.

TWIST

..." the music is, for the uninitiated,a grungy noisy nirvana-esque cauldron of teenage rampage ,loud guitars , throaty vocals,angry/self pitying lyrics, straining  and fighting for its own identity, at times like HOLDEN CAULFIELD psychotically wandering through the bars of New York,"

INTENTION

.....I' ve thrown away my semisonic /stereophonic/supersonic crutches and now live in my Intention hoodie listening to raging speedhorn,spine,slipknot and intention intention intention.

 

LIVE REVIEW

STEPPING RAZORS

....If energy and glamour and unfeasibly tight pantaloons were the benchmark of goodness,SR would be sitting right  up there next to Mother Teresa,and she d be wearing a pair of hotpants and a bra.
