bickster Posted March 15, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 15, 2011 News hot off the press, there is a Thom Yorke / Burial / Four Tet collaboration single coming out this summer. That is something to look forward to My guess is it will sound a bit like Feral. 8) Its coming out sooner than the summer too. 21st March and all the pre-order stock has sold out already in all three outlets. Bugger going to have to beg Probe to reserve me a copy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I agree about the REM album, its like a pastiche of their former glories, its ok but that is all it is, nothing really stands out on it. It just plods and its unmistakably REM but its also nowt special. News hot off the press, there is a Thom Yorke / Burial / Four Tet collaboration single coming out this summer. That is something to look forward to Top release and those names are bound to get people buzzing, but I think the forthcoming Four Tet 12" with Caribou is even better.

juanpabloangel18 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Shamelessly blowing my own trumpet, but thought I'd share: A review of my band's latest offering (which you can download free at www.casinozone.bandcamp.com, or alternatively just have a quick listen on youtube: ) GRIEVOUS BODILY HARMISON * demo of the month * :: Casino Zone :: 31 March 2011 / Demo / 9 Trk CDR By JA Last November, Casino Zone supplied a very promising demo that reminded us just how good a northern band could sound. After industriously working away on this album sized collection of songs, it’s fair to say that they’re shaping up to be something of an unmissable proposition. There’s a hefty nine tracks to go at here, but in truth it’s something that should be looked at as being on the scale of say Beat The Radar’s debut. As with the original demo, there’s still the earthy lyrics and dry vocal delivery underpinned by an immaculate undertone of impressive, angular, sharp guitars. Their tracks can be atmospheric (“Margarita”), all are anthemic and when they want to, they can display some hard rock credentials (cue the ATDI standard of “Tesco”). This is a brilliant, shining example of Mancunian rock, delivered with the verve and attitude (and more) of bands in much more fortunate positions – I wish them well on what is sure to be their ascension. MMMM ½ Not sure about all the Manc references, all of us are from Brum, but oh well. http://www.music-dash.co.uk/releases/release.asp?item=6962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Graf Orlock's Doombox...gorgeous packaging. The new vocalist is taking a little getting used to, but having all the trilogy records on the CD is a very nice touch too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 15, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2011 Not sure if these have been mentioned in this thread or not but anyone heard the Yuck album? Fantastic album and a breath of fresh air. Has a vibe similar to the likes of Dinosaur Jr, Pixies and Sonic Youth. Loving the album at the minute. English too which is always good! Here's a few tracks... Hoiling Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted May 14, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 14, 2011 Went to see The Antlers last night with blandy, they were good and their new Album Burst Apart is excellent. The support band (well one of them, missed the other) were called BRAID, an Artsy Canadian band, who sound a bit like the cocteau twins with Vini Riley on Guitar and Youth producing them. Interesting stuff, their album is called NAtive Speaker and is also worth a listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanpabloangel18 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Been around for around 25 years, but the Beastie Boys' new album is fantastic. ''Hot Sauce Committee Part Two''. Make some noise - single: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zyOH2Y3vcc&feature=relmfu Possibly the greatest marketing/publicity stunt ever conceived to promote it as well: ''Fight for your right: Revisited'' - see how many actors you can name.
