House music has always been relatively popular and will probably continue to be popular for quite a while. It will never hurt anyone, it will never be ground breaking, but it will always keep a rooms conversation flowing along nicely without offending or intruding anyone. Let's refer to it is the...

Hailing from Portland, Oregon in the United States of America, Lovvers are an indie punk band that have not let the constant rain in their part of the world dampen their enthusiastic energy and high tempo punk songs. The opening track 'Creepy Crawl' throws the listener straight into the rock... A packed gig list, a growing band of followers and some very nice publicity that describes Killaflaw as “the missing link between Soundgarden and the Prodigy.” This coupled with industry awards like XFM’s “Demo of the Year Award - 08” means that KillaFlaw is definitely going only one way, and...

A relatively established label is releasing a compilation volume of 12 inch vinyl. 4 of them to be exact, each featuring 4 artists. Dance to The Radio (Dance To The Radio) has no less than 71 artists on their current roster, with such diverse names as “Snow White” to “You Slut!” and “:)” to “Shut...

Being featured on Sunday Best the record label offering from the much publicised Rob da Bank means that Bastila are set for success. 'Ghosts' is a dreamy, guitar led, atmospheric track that sits in a sea of reverb, delay and echo and has more than a nod to the Psychedelic Progressive Rock...

After reading some overexcited reviews, some praising “Machinery Saints” as some kind of masterpiece and some labelling it as a total messy nonsense, I was quite curious to hear this debut album from New Jersey post-hardcore/punk newcomers Rapid Cities; just after listening to the first couple of...

Love/Hate / Look Again
Re-releasing the track that brought them to the attention of those outside of Preston (helped largely by them bagging ‘Myspace Artist of the Week’) perhaps suggests that Team Waterpolo (and/or their record label) are already getting a little desperate. Yes I know re-releasing singles is nothing... Taken from his second album 'Sunny Side Up', 'Coming Up Easy' is Paolo Nutini's successful attempt to lift up the soullessness of everyday hit parade pop. Though you might argue about whether or not the song is representative for his latest album, as he covers basically all musical genres on ‘Sunny... Kenny Ball, Acker Bilk and Chris Barber, also known as the 3B's, were highly influential in reviving traditional jazz in Britain in the fifties and sixties. The threesome, respectively playing trumpet, clarinet and trombone made the country jump jive and wail long before it lost its virginity to...
Golden Animals were not scheduled to come on stage until midnight, and by this time the audience had thinned out, leaving a preponderance of 40+ musos. American vocalist / guitarist Tommy Eisner and Swedish-born drummer and vocalist Linda Beecroft were onstage promptly enough but were still... ‘Curiouser’ is the follow up album from Kate Miller-Heidke after the success of her debut album titled ‘Little Eve’, released in 2007. This time Kate and her band have created a brilliant blend of rock, pop and folk that seems to push the brink of musical insanity to a new level. Kate...

 Over stars and gutters seem to be one of those bands that are genuinely in the game purely for their love of making music. Their no messing around attitude to getting out there and getting the songs done is nothing short of impressive. Over Stars and Gutters pride themselves on what they do, not...
I love picking up music without knowing anything about it until I put it in my player. If the cover of a disc itself gives up little information – and some covers are utterly enigmatic – I have no idea what I’m going to get. I really enjoy this process and I pick stuff up with no preconceived... With their infectious and exciting sound, Black Bikini Alpha are taking the music world by storm. With only 2 band members it is pretty impressive to hear that they don't lack any kind of musical power or drive. Their latest release is a strong British record titled ‘Grand Madness’. ‘Grand... See, here's the thing. Up in those tall glass buildings, the marketing men look out from behind their Gucci shades and plot how to sex up everything. Their preference is to get us as early as possible; the logic is that the sooner we get it on with each other, the sooner we realise that 99 times...
Blame Bam Margera. That's what haters of the gothic movement could probably say over the past few years as he single handily made HIM and bands of a similar ilk so popular in recent years via cameos in his TV shows and his cameos in the band's videos. A perfect amalgamation of mutual promotion,...

 The Woodstock Experience is a genius idea. Combining an artist's studio album and their Woodstock performance, along with a poster in a nice little box set makes for one sweet package. There are five of these sets in total (Santana, Johnny Winter, Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone, and... Although quite established herself already within the world of bluegrass and folk since the mid-nineties, Alison Krauss only became hot news when her collaboration with Robert Plant turned out to be a huge success. Their 2007 album 'Raising Sand' gave them raving reviews and five Grammy Awards last...
All six tracks on this 'To Hell With Love' EP also appear on German punk poppers Donots latest album 'Coma Chameleon'. That being said, 'To Hell With Love' is merely a promo taster and not an actual release as such. It's a nice introduction to Donots deal though and not what I was expecting when I...

Whispers in the Riot’s newest release is 4 songs of pure metal energy. Yes it really is as simple as that. The self titled EP shows just what these guys are made of thrusting complete and raw power through your ears from the very beginning and not letting up for a second, even if you are... When I first heard Arcade Fire's 'Funeral' back in the summer of 2004 I (like most others who struck upon this low-key classic) was instantly floored by just how fucking good it was. With it's cathartic, beautiful songs, it re-imagined a sound which had been used by bands such as Broken Social...

Black Gold like fucking with you. This pair of Brooklyn based boys are determined to make whatever kind of noise they want and for any pigeon holes to be damned. Sure enough they aren't the first band to kick against industry expectations but the difference here is Black Gold do so with apparent...

Philadelphia quartet The Capitol Years have been keeping a damn low profile since their 2006 release 'Dance Away The Terror', a hiatus I've been struggling to get an explanation for. I've consoled myself since with the fact that given they've only ever released two albums as a completed line up... Barry White is back and this time, he's thin and white. Now that I've got your attention by using the worst introduction ever, let's talk about Mayer Hawthorne. A 29 year old singer born close to soul city Detroit, the capital of soul ballads that inevitably had an undeniable influence on the...
Sons Of Seasons seem to be a combination of symphonic and progressive Metal both combined together. Sons of Season hail from the land of Germany and was created out of very unlikely circumstances as during the formation the members at the time were in Blaze Bayley (Wolfsbane / Iron Maiden... Fejd are similar to another band from Norway that I recently reviewed here on Altsounds.com. The comparison band in question is Glittertind and the similarities are that firstly they're both folk Metal bands, secondly they only do songs in their native Norwegian tongue and thirdly the songs are...

Since their formation in 2007 through auditions, The Saturdays have quickly become one of Britain’s biggest pop acts bringing to the spot light their brand of Electro-Pop. Over this short time they have brought us their debut and self titled album, as well as a hand full of hits and chart toppers....

There has always been a fine line between channelling sincere bemusement by expressing natural feral exuberance through music, as opposed to trying to fake it in order to ride on the cash cow of commercial rock. With some modern bands, it’s often difficult to tell exactly which of the above... Recorded at the famous Scottish venue King Tut's Wah Wah Hut during the celebratory single launch of 'Crisis In The Slow Lane' (which is actually the plodder of the bunch) we are offered up the eight songs being touted on the Xcerts current tour in all their earnest, heartfelt glory. You can find...

Hellsaw's 'Cold' is one of those albums that seems to start with a very Opeth direction with the very long intro for 'A Suicide Journey' but then suddenly turns into a Death Metal style assault on the ears with the usual formula of screaming vocals, blast beat drums and low tuned guitars and...

Hardcore Superstar meet Buckcherry and together they decide it’s time to try and hit the charts. 'Crash Theory', the opener of this self-titled album by Sweet Cyanide has the feline scratching vocals of Josh Todd and Jocke Berg; it oozes of sexual energy, but with an added edge that gives them a... These days the music industry is plagued with artists aiming to be the next new thing, all of which are looking to what the future of music can offer rather than looking back to the good old days for hints and tips (even though, in my opinion this isn’t a bad thing at all). Once in a while a group... Though penned in the late fifties and covered by blues legend Albert King, 'As the Years go Passing By' doesn't sound like the typical classic blues song. It's more connected with 'Still Got the Blues' than with 'Mannish Boy' as it is as much a pop song as it is a blues song and as a result it's...
To start this off I'm going to talk about Arjen Lucassen and the Ayeron project but with very good reason as you shall see. Ever since the concept came to being with 1995's 'The Final Experiment' Arjen's always has had vision to push the boundaries with albums containing artists such as Fish from... From the ashes of Uncle Tupelo, god-fathers of the 90s alt-country movement, came two new bands: Jay Farrar´s Son Volt and Jeff Tweedy´s Wilco. At the time most people assumed of Uncle Tupelo´s two song-writers, it would be Farrar and Son Volt who would go on to a more successful career. In the... The First are not "The First" band to create an EP sounding like 'Land and Sea', that is melodic pop punk tunes not too short of Taking Back Sunday. In fact there is whole plethora of influential references on show on 'Land and Sea', from Funeral For A Friend to Gallows. This is all hunky dory,...
Kochka are well up for it, that much is certain. These four Glasgow based characters abound with enthusiasm for their craft and that shows on this, their second EP. Opener 'Cowards and Kings' actually starts off like a bouncy cover version of The Knife's 'Heartbeats' (okay, okay - José...

Anyone who's taken the time to delight themselves with Grammatics self-titled debut album will no doubt be aware that it is a delicious slab of disorientation that perceives to get under the skin and with 'Murderer' it's very much a case of mission accomplished.

 "Naked And Fearless" is the most recent surge of music from Jacoby Shaddix and Co., that is trying desperately to breakaway from the Nu-Metal label that Papa Roach have carried around with them since the release of 2000’s “Infest”. 2009’s “Metamorphosis” is their least nu-metal album to date and...
I couldn’t help being attracted to an EP called 'Dude Manor', it just sounds like fun. I stick the CD on and open the biography to find out more. Living with Lions is yet another Canadian act- what’s with Canada and rock recently? I would consider moving there if it was warmer! Dude Manor is... The 21st century seems to be an increasingly fascinating time for music.

I remember tapes, do you? Video tapes were probably more annoying than tape cassettes due to their persistence in floor noise and that low quality crackling. But anyway, these tapes are in the form of four human beans, based in Winchester and are surprisingly unsigned. 'C45' Ep works well on many... Oh for fuck's sake. Now we've got bored with Fall Out Boy and seen off Panic! AT ! The ! Disco!, along come The Mission District, a five piece from Toronto who've crossed emo and synth-pop to create....S-emo? Popmo? Just in case you were wondering, celebrity blogging leech Perez Hilton is... Exlovers may already be your new darlings.
