Sorry it’s been a while!
GIRLS ALOUD – “No Good Advice”

THE RAPTURE &#8[…]

Casualties of a) the Reality-Pop arena vote and b) an ill-timed split return with more or less desperate dice-throws. Rarely has a No.2 hitmaker been considered as instant a failure as One True Voice — but then with Girls Aloud making the best […]

ALBUM REVIEW: Poem-Cees – PARANOIA
I put the headphones on and lean back. Jagged guitar assaults my ears and fear grips me as I hear the harrowing opening litany. THEY ARE OUT TO GET ME.
