Corrigan - How To Hang Off A Rope

Review by Andrew Future

The Corrigan is an evil spirit that steals children’s souls and dances in the moonlight with its unnaturally large head. 'How To Hang Off A Rope', needless to say, borrows little from that other bunch of big-headed soul stealers that dance in the moonlight, Toploader (rip). Instead, emanating from Irel»

Grandaddy - Sumday

Review by Andrew Future

People hate beards. This is proven thus: Which is the better Beatles record? ‘Let It Be’ where they have big ugly hippy-face huggers, or any of the others with their cool designs, pretty colours and sexy SMOOTH faces? Exactly. You wouldn’t want to shag InMe if they didn’t look like a bunch o»

Stereophonics - You Gotta Go There To Come Back

Review by Andrew Future

It was the lesbians that dunnit. Finger-licking good they were too, stealing JD from that old pub and having sex in swimming pools full of beer. Or something like that. Yes music fans, try and remember, the Stereophonics' last good single, ’The Bartender And The Thief’. That doesn’»

Limp Bizkit Pull Download Because Of Pants

News by Andrew Future

Headliners pull out of Download... The Download Festival got a whole lot better with the news today that Limp Bizkit have pulled out of their scheduled Sunday night performance. Work on their new LP ‘Panty Sniffer’ has overrun, and will now not finish until the autumn. Rep»

Ambershades - Clap, Clap, Clap

Review by Andrew Future

Imagine the ear-cutting Reservoir Dogs soundtrack of ‘Stuck In The Middle With You’ melded with the dulcet tones and poppy hooks of The Only Ones and you have the superlative debut from south London duo Davey La and Ben Castle, and their band, Ambershades. Jangled, acous»

The Durutti Column - Someone Else's Party

Review by Andrew Future

According to Lennon, life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. Death on the other hand, is a cold, long and inevitably-torturous disease. Of the all the names to survive 25 years of Madchester, Vinni Reilly isn't probably one you've heard of. Commercially overshadowed by former co»

The Hidden Cameras - The Smell Of Our Own

Review by Andrew Future

Resistance is futile. You see: like email, Easter Eggs, text messaging, and Father Christmas, pop is about massive worldwide acceptance of something intimate and personal to you. A bit like sex you could say. The Hidden Cameras have made the best pop record you will hear this year. It's totally gay, bu»

Blur - Think Tank

Review by Andrew Future

If the genius of a guitarist is really measured in what they don’t play, then 'Think Tank' is Graham Coxon’s greatest work. After all the high profile fall outs (Albarn’s hair, and lifelong pal Graham have both departed), the band’s seventh LP is a genuine pleasure to behold. It’s take»

The Cooper Temple Clause at London Astoria, Tue 29 Apr

Review by Andrew Future

Be afraid. Pick a scene from your favourite Stephen King flick, cross it with your favourite Coopers song – (‘The Lake’, or maybe ‘Murder Song’) - and you have tonight’s horror-show Astoria. It’s hard to see, but a thousand or-so Didz clones are just about visible; silhouetted through»

The Bluetones - Luxembourg

Review by Andrew Future

The Bluetones = The Alan Partridge of Indie Maybe it was just an adolescent fad: what we all did when we turned fourteen and realised that careers as professional football players didn’t beckon. That music was more fun. When we realised that beer didn’t taste that bad after all. When sports brand»
