Bromheads Jacket: ON Gloves: OFF

Take Blur's parklife sensibilities, crank it up to Arctic Monkey oomph and throw in the acidic humour of The Streets and you start to approach what BROMHEADS JACKET are all about. Despite vocalist Tim's east London twang, the 3 piece band are from Sheffield, home of afore-mentioned Monkeys and are getting ready to take over the world!
Currently just finished a european tour and now getting into the studio to record their second album, look out for these boys around the festivals this summer. If you cant wait that long, then dip into LESLEY PARLAFIT or TRIP TO THE GOLDEN ARCHES here.
Have a blast! "It Wasnt supposed to turn out quite like this" but now it has, the gloves are most definitely off.

Maccabees make Brighton Rock shock

The Maccabees from Brighton have finally "arrived" with their new album COLOUR IT IN. This is the sort of music that stops me in my tracks and reminds me how great real post punk pop rock should sound like. Full of rawky riffola and dynamic contrasts, the opposition are going to have to step up several gears to beat this when the end of the year reviews are written and 2007 is just a memory. The Maccabees first came to my attention with the quirky but superbly enjoyable LATCHMERE single (Released on the wonderful FIERCE PANDA records). This wasnt their first recorded effort - that was a long deleted single called X RAY released on an unknown label called PROMISE records (29th May 2006) - If anyone has a recording of X RAY, I would love to hear it. COLOUR IT IN is definitely a huge leap forward for the Brighton boys, and will be up there in my end of year countdown. Enjoy.
