Feeder - Just A Day

Review by James Westfox

It's easy to dislike Feeder. They're so bland, so one-paced, so backward looking. And as for the ‘cringe when your singing’ "Buck Rogers", well... And here they are again, peddling their punk infused rock infused pop once more. Two quite interesting things: "Just A Day" wasn't featured on the»

The Charlatans - A Man Needs To Be Told

Review by James Westfox

"A man needs to be told there's a war going on" And of course there is. The Charlatans release a prophetic single? Whatever next? This, the second release from their typically excellent "Wonderland" album is a country tinged, beautifully lilting song, it swoops and sweeps and convinces »

Mull Historical Society - Loss

Review by James Westfox

You've gotta feel sorry for Colin MacIntyre. Not only did he suffer the pretty tragic loss of his father last year, but he also spends his days on a dark, cold, lonely little Scottish isle called Mull. On the bright side, though, he's just written one of the best albums of the 2001. The Mull Historical Society»

U2 - Walk On

Review by James Westfox

When I lent back in my chair on some mild October day a few weeks ago and this came blaring out of my radio, I knew exactly what it was. It was a U2 record. It was a soaring, flowing, beautiful song that Dads world-wide would be tapping a steering wheel to. Strangely then, "Walk On" is not a great r»

I can exclusively reveal their plans. The Strokes A decision is made to follow up the success of "Is This It" by releasing a n»

Birdie - Triple Echo

Review by James Westfox

Oh My God!! How amazingly hard is this reviewing lark? Especially when faced with an album like this. An album so unremarkable, so devoid of anything different or exciting, and yet so harmless and quiet, it's difficult, if not impossible, to hate. Nightmare. For those of you who don't know, and I'm guessing that'»

Green Day - International Superhits:The Best Of

Review by James Westfox

All things considered, Green Day, alongside Nirvana, RATM and The Foo Fighters, are probably one of the most important American bands of the naughty nineties. You only have to look around at the number of Pop-Punk trio's entering our charts at number 31 these days to prove how influential they were. Their music »

Gun's and Cancel's

News by James Westfox

Guns N'Roses have cancelled their European tour yet again. Instead the band will continue work on 'The Chinese Democracy', their long awaited follow up to 'The Spaghetti Incident'. In a statement released yesterday manager Doug Goldstein explains the reasons, and takes most of the bla»

The White Stripes - Hotel Yorba

Review by James Westfox

Hype. It's a dangerous thing. I won't bore you with the tales of countless hyped to fuck bands who are now remembered with a laugh rather than a record. But when you think White Stripes, you think one thing. Hype. That 'Bizarre' feature in The Sun. The NMEvil adorance of them. The mystery about them (Ohh! »
