The Cast Of Cheers – Family [rating:3.5/5] Buy: Family If you like your hooks infectious, your melodies punchy and your guitar lines sharp, then you’ll like Dublin quartet The Cast Of Cheers’ debut album Family.

Passion Pit – ‘Gossamer’ album review
Passion Pit – ’Gossamer’ [rating:3/5] Buy: Gossamer If you enjoyed the wildly infectious melodies and modern pop sensibilities of Passion Pit’s 2009 debut Manners, then there’s plenty in second album Gossamer to keep you interested. ‘Take A Walk’ and ‘I’ll Be Alright’, the first two tracks to emerge from Gossamer, are everything that’s great about […]

The ironic thing is, if everyone had stuck around […]
Nas – ‘Life Is Good’ album review
Nas – Life Is Good [rating:4/5] Buy: Life Is Good Now hip-hop is not exactly my specialist subject, but I am quite a big fan of Mr Nasir Jones so I felt I had to give his new album the once over. I’m not a total hip-hop noob though, I know enough to get by […]

Album Review: Paul Cook and The Chronicles – ‘Volume 1’
Paul Cook and The Chronicles – Volume 1 [rating:4/5] I don’t usually bother too much with acoustic singer-songwriter types – mostly because they tend to be a bit dull and try so hard to strike an emotional chord they forget to actually write good tunes. Not so with this guy. I featured his single ‘Candlelight’ […]
