Single Reviews - The Fallout Trust - Washout (At Large) Release date: Feb 13th 2006 Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	At just over three minutes long, the latest single from the London sextet in Washout perfectly showcases just how talented this band is. Given that there are six members, the music naturally has immense depth, and fortunately no elements are drowned out in the mix. The guitars ring especially proudly, as band frontman Joe Winter sings out his pretty little heart. Come the sublime Read more...

Single Reviews - Cherubs - Paper Cut Moon (Cargo) Release Date: Feb 6th 2006 Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	You might already have caught this extraordinary outfit during one of their 2005 festival appearances... perhaps at the Carling Weekend or T in the Park for starters. The widespread consensus seems to be that to hear them is to love them, and there's no wonder if this attention-demanding single is anything to go by. Paper Cut Moon pits beautifully rousing guitar Read more...

Single Reviews - Fallout Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down (Mercury) Release Date: Feb 7th 2006 Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	A chart-friendly anthem for the masses, the wall-of-sound vibrancy that blasts out of this beauty of a single release is the ultimate wake-up call for anybody who even remotely finds their ears attracted to high-calibre Pop-Punk music. Sugar, We're Going Down is melody and harmony-saturated to the hilt, thus ensuring that it's ludicrously catchy in the extreme, as the energy Read more...

Single Reviews - Jeffron - Dance Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Having started playing the piano at five years old, Jeffron was something of a child prodigy when it came to music, and he is a self-taught guitarist, keyboardist and vocal arranger. After he left school he started to indulge in the twin arts of song production and song arrangement, and he's worked with the high-profile likes of the Sugarbabes, Liberty X and Errol Brown. Now, though, he's trying to make a Read more...

Single Reviews - Boy Kill Boy - Back Again (Vertigo) Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	When a DJ like Zane Lowe pronounces that a particular song is the 'hottest track in the world today,' the nation tends to sit up and listen. Well, that's what he had to say about Back Again, and he does have a point - for this tune is an overwhelming example of how melodic rock bands should write chart-hungry anthems. Chris Peck leads the band as they mean to go on, as he strikes a mesmerising barrage of Read more...

Single Reviews - At The Lake - These Days (Pop Fiction) Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Most definitely not to be confused with the decade-old Bon Jovi anthem of the same name, At The Lake's life-affirming These Days tune is a rock masterpiece - and the London quintet's debut single release to boot. Highly emotive and vibrant, the two band guitarists in Tim Buckland and James Machin duel away to Coldplay-esque degrees. They somehow make Read more...

Album Reviews - Torso Horse - No Going Back (2 Track Sampler/Wanted 4 Murder) By Steve Rudd
	No sooner are we in to 2006, and Torso Horse sound to be back on the scene with a fresh slab of prime meat in new song Eye On The Goal. Yet another heady anthem that is explosively dominated by the band's trademark Goth-swathed heavy-metal guitar riffage, pounding drums and blood-curdling bass-lines that bust out of nowhere, the swaggering leer Read more...

Single Reviews - Imperial Vipers - Promised Land (Eminence) Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Here's another homegrown UK rock band with its heart pumping hard in the realm of Classic Rock music, with this Limited Edition single release being almost overwhelmed by the monolithic guitar riff that's the perfect foil for the supersize vocals of band frontman Ash Simmons. This single is available on 7" vinyl and from various download sites, taken as it is from their debut LP Read more...

Music News - Lazyswede Launches The NightOwl Video Show
	Glenn Williams (aka The Lazyswede) has just gone into the television side of the music business, by producing his own video show called The NightOwl. This show is being sent three times a day on Channel 125 from New York. This is an independent channel which sends video shows 24/7. Last year alone Channel 125 aired over 2.4 million videos, Read more...

Single Reviews - The Fallout Trust - Before The Light Goes (At Large) Reviewed By Steve Rudd
	Pin back your ears, one and all, and listen hard. Busting out of an East London warehouse, here the nation has a band in The Fallout Trust to be proud of. They are making thoroughly exciting music, and hopefully they'll break into the big-time during 2006. Before The Light Goes is their second single, developing as it does from its groovy mid-paced Read more...

Album Reviews - Screaming Tarts (Limited Edition 18 Track Compilation Album) By Steve Rudd
	The superb second release from Mr Martyn at www.screamingtarts.com , this is a rare rock compilation album that comes packed with eighteen fresh cuts of Glam-infused rock action that are all genuinely brilliant. Teenage Casket Company headily kick-start proceedings with their catchy Dial It Up riff, before Electric Eel Shock liven affairs up Read more...

Single Reviews - The Holloways - Generator (Sensible Recordings) By Nick Quantrill
	Hailing from the Holloway Road area of London, this limited edition, vinyl-only debut release is a prime slice of ska-tinged pop from a band destined to be one to watch out for in 2006. Lead track Generator is a three-minute snapshot of what the band have to offer. With its prominent harmonies and choppy guitars, Generator is something approaching a 21st Century take on Read more...

Album Reviews - Ellenby - Run Away EP (Levelsound) By Steve Rudd
	Ellenby are an exciting London-anchored duo, producing an intoxicating blend of Folk, Pop and Rock. Their debut album is forthcoming, and provisionally titled All You Need To Know. This four-track EP, however, is titled Runaway, which is also the name of the first track that proves to be the perfect introduction to the music of Ellenby. Liz Young is the singer, while multi-instrumentalist Read more...

Album Reviews - Jethro Tull - Aqualung Live (RandM) By Steve Rudd
	Over thirty years on from the release of Jethro Tull's classic Aqualung album, Aqualung Live is an amazing album in its own right, that captures a live performance of all the songs that featured on the original masterpiece. Only legendary band front man, Ian Anderson and ace guitarist Martin Barre remain from the original band line-up, but the Read more...

Music News - The Sesh Column - DJ Mak's Festive Rant
	Time to reflect. 2005 has to go down as a great year in my book. I've thoroughly enjoyed my work at various events across the city. Everyone has seemed up for it. Positivity has reigned supreme. Talent has emerged from all quarters. The creative folk of the city have been stimulated and encouraged, and the good people of Hull have got together and finally made things Read more...

Single Reviews - Coldplay - Talk (Parlophone) Reviewed by Steve Rudd
	First there was Speed Of Sound. Then these guys returned to literally haunt us and to Fix You. Now all Coldplay wanna do is Talk. And if they want to talk, the masses will sure as hell listen. This is the third single to have thus far been swiped from their stupendously successful X & Y album, and - as always - it is an anthem dominated by both frontman Chris Martin Read more...
