DOWNLOAD: Yellow Dogs – Gastronomic Meal
Yellow Dogs, a rock band originally from Iran where being a rock band is still subversive, make music with high stakes. At a basic level, “Gastronomic Meal,” off the band’s EP In the Kennel that’s coming out in May, is a song about eating, though it hardly sounds like a pleasant dining experience. “A human head with hot sauce and special bread,” for instance,...
Manchester 2010: The Scene That Ate Itself
Is Manchester a city that is so proud of its musical past it still trades heavily on it, or one that has just given up trying to surpass what was produced before? That revolutionary 80’s period is still leant upon, and how: The Hacienda, now a swanky apartment block; “And on the 6th day, God created Manchester” T-shirts are still available in your size; and Peter Hook, having...
Swing Youth, and Ian Curtis = Dr. Strangelove
Some new bands would just love to be as glum and dark as Joy Division. Witness the current crop of frontmen who have suddenly developed hollow eyed stares and Ian Curtis arm twitches - the Indie equivalent of Dr. Strangelove’s alien hand. The truth is that most bands just can’t manage it, because if there’s one thing you can’t fake, it’s existentialist miserablism...
1-2-3-4 Festival, Shoreditch Park 24 July 2010
  Von Haze by Drew Cox I’m standing in the dry grass dustbowl that is Shoreditch Park. I’m watching three drummers and a phalanx of guitarists bash and thrash their way through a series of tunes. This is Action Beat, the self-styled ‘Noise Band from Bletchley”. We are here for the 1-2-3-4 Shoreditch Festival and sights such as this are eyed with idle contentment by...

Download Red Drapes - Reflection
Here’s a great bit of classic 80s indie pop from Red Drapes. It’s very Psychedelic Furs - but unlike a lot bands that plough this particular furrow, the tunes don’t get lost in histrionics. Red Drapes don’t try too hard, and get everything just right as a consequence. They’re doing a couple of shows with the Delays in October, and playing at the 40 Watt...
THE LINES
Recently Ive found myself looking back more than forward for quality music, as there are a plethora of hidden gems out there. The Lines for instance are one. Their music coexisted between contemporaries Wire, Joy Division, The Feelies or Mission of Burma. Although they played shows with bands like The Cure, Bauhaus, The Sound and Birthday Party, and featured members of Prag Vec and Alternative...
