Jenny Gillespie has released two albums to date and earned a fair few rave reviews along the way. As all things folk are big again she has the ideal opportunity to ride this wave with her new EP, which reminded me of Joni Mitchell in her jazzy moments coupled with ... more »

THE URBAN VOODOO MACHINE - Rather You Shot Me Down
by
Jason
on Thu 02 Feb 2012 22:06 GMT
I have never seen this gypsy blues, bop 'n' stroll collective but I would imagine they are a sight to behold and hear! This three song EP for Valentine's Day includes the slow burning title track from their last album and a rather spirited cover of AC/DC#s 'Hells Bells' (used ... more »

Sharliza Jelita - Claustrophobia
by
Jason
on Wed 25 Jan 2012 22:12 GMT
An electro pop single may not be your typical GRTR! fare but this song is just so damn catchy. Yes the vocals sound like they are Autotuned to the max and the synths come from Fisher Price but it is a very decent pop tune. Apparently at her gigs she ... more »

Model Society - Horizons
by
Jason
on Mon 23 Jan 2012 10:19 GMT
This is the latest single from London based rockers Model Society. This is a one track affair and it ’s not too bad, sounding a bit Bloc Party-like spliced with a healthy dose of the Levellers. The song has a good melody and a hooky chorus, there is a ... more »

Canadian rockers Uncle Sid release a new single 'Rock Guru', the first to feature their new vocalist Terena Armstrong. Full marks to Uncle Sid as they keep going and they certainly have a vocal find in Terena Armstrong who easily holds her own with the driving hard rock. Think of ... more »

MY DYING BRIDE – “THE BARGHEST O’WHITBY”
by
Jason
on Fri 13 Jan 2012 09:30 GMT
 Yorkshire-based Doomsters My Dying Bride have never been the kind of band which shies away from experimentation. Clear evidence can be found in any of the band’s recordings including “Evinta” - a collection of fourteen compositions which was released earlier this year and which saw the band presenting riffs and ... more » Tuesday, January 10

base. The female fronted four piece play melodic hard rock in the vein
of Paramore and Halestorm. They have gained a lot of exposure over the
last year ... more »

So Van Halen are (finally!) back with a new album 'A Different Kind Of Truth' due in early February (7th in the US) and this song, 'Tattoo' is the lead single. It is very much a family affair with Wolfgang Van Halen on bass with the master showman David Lee ... more »

Another new EP, this time from Liverpudlian Quintet Always The
Quiet Ones. The band formed in 2010 and have so far gathered a good size
following and landed a few tasty support slots with the likes of Deaf
Havana and Turbogeist.
Sound wise the obvious influences on the band have ... more »
ISOLATED ATOMS - Illuminate
by
Jason
on Sat 07 Jan 2012 21:56 GMT
Isolated Atoms hark back to a time when indie rock was all low slung
basses and dodgy angular hair cuts. Billed as an‘electro rock’ outfit
they borrow heavily from Joy Division/ New Order and The Cure to name
but two, but a whole raft of 80‘s names could be added ... more »
