BROADCAST |
"......the
streets of Moseley will be deserted tonight,every bedsit,studio flat and yuppie pad will
be silent but for housebreakers with impeccable taste in vinyl records...." |
 |
King
Adora |
"
Buy into KING ADORA like you'd buy shares in a dot com start-up, in and out as fast as you

 |
jnr
loaded / blackout |
"...chemistry,biology
and physics,right time same place,explosive spontaneous combustion.ka boom..." |
 |
THE NEW
ELECTRICS |
"I
hope they sell a million records cos they re from Brum,but I wish this city could produce
a cutting edge band who set your heart on fire ,hurt your brain,disturb your sleep
patterns,THE NEW ELECTRICS do not ........." |
 |
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" . |
 |
WHEAT
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," |
 |
CLINIC |
......Music
is currently in some kind of Orwellian soma induced trance ,we must celebrate the misfits
and imperfections more now than ever before. |

|
GUIDED
BY VOICES |
.....Judging
by the Website pics,Robbie Williams is a fan,but don't let that put you off,buy this and
feel good about music again....... |
 |
GORGEOUS |
.....I
love post apocalyptic, post nuclear ,urban wasteland type scenarios me,all those great
films from the sixties and seventies when the threat of a large mushroom cloud appearing
over Balsall Heath was hanging over us |
 |
CHROMIUM
HIJACK |
....In
half an hour of music ,I hear Sonic Youth,Sabbath,Living color,Nirvana, Goldie,p.i.l and
many more but its not notes that are "sampled" but
emotions,passions,textures,feelings,ideas. |
 |
BUTTERFLIES
OF LOVE |
...........dual singers peddling mournful tales of just
how crap life is ,when you re in an American band playing Moseley on a wet Wednesday for a
quid in. |
LIVE REVIEW |
BADGE/NUGGAT |
....Their
dull Suede like songs have undergone a This Morning style makeover,two fat old ugly
dinnerladies put into expensive frocks and smeared with makeup,
|
LIVE REVIEW |
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. |

|
PLUTONIK |
......its
Chrissy s velvet , snarly voice, fronting a part programmed, part live
symphony with incredible percussive drum and BASS ,that envelopes you. |
 |
DELTA |
...wonderful
sugar and salt voices,brilliantly crap guitar ,and some truly original keyboard sounds |
