Beck - Mutations

Review by Tom Carlin

So, how do you follow up an experimental masterpiece? More of the same? Expand on the formula? Make a record that will totally alienate your fanbase? Or do you whip out an acoustic guitar and make an album of blues, folk and country songs? Beck Hansen chose the latter. Though, technically, this i»

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Whatever Happened To My Rock'N'Roll

Review by Tom Carlin

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are the band of your dreams. They are young, loud, raw and angry. AND they sound brilliant with it. They will inevitably be lumped in with The Strokes and The White Stripes, but this debut EP shows that they could go on to be even better than those two bands. 'W»

Starsailor - Love Is Here

Review by Tom Carlin

You’re more likely to love Starsailor than like them, and you’re more likely to despise them than simply have a mild distaste. I think if you are for the latter, it’s probably down to the dullness of their music. Because on the surface, Starsailor are incredibly dull. There is not one remotely exciting thing about t»

Sum 41 - Fat Lip

Review by Tom Carlin

For the majority of Sum 41's current album, All Killer No Filler, you are bored shitless. You've heard it all before. Of course you have, there are only so many anti-authority, I can't get a girl three chord dittys possible. But there are, however, a few songs which are genuinely exciting and make you want to jump u»

Bye Bye Elastica

News by Tom Carlin

Ash - Candy

Review by Tom Carlin

Ash are milking Free All Angels in the same way they did 1977 (A fifth single is planned). But who could blame them? If you've got an album where every track could be a single you may as well go for it (That doesn't apply to you Kelly 'Step on my old size nines' Jones). The fourth release off that album is Candy.»

The Presidents Of The United States Of America - The Presidents Of The United States Of America

Review by Tom Carlin

After the death of grunge in 1994, American Rock went through its wilderness years. Seemingly now without an identity, numerous bands came along and had mainstream exposure and their stab at the big time. One of these bands was The Presidents Of The United States Of America. The nation's youth, now after somet»
