Friends – Manifest! [rating:3.5/5] Buy: Manifest! As is the way with the music industry, hot, trendy new bands are lauded for their cutting-edge freshness and hip new musical outlook. As soon as the debut album comes along, though, the knives are out for the hipster poseurs trying too hard to be cool and not focussing […]
Album review submitted by Philip Lickley. Ladyhawke – Anxiety [rating:2.5/5] Buy: Anxiety Four years ago musician Pip Brown recorded an eponymous album under her stage name of Ladyhawke. With twelve tracks including ‘Magic’, ‘My Delerium’, ‘Paris is Burning’ and ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ it was an excellent, fun album with some great stand-out tunes that took […]

Unsurprisingly for Liam, […]
Radiohead album review – The King Of Limbs Amid the excitement and controversy stirred up by its innovative ‘pay-what-you-like’ release, 2007’s In Rainbows didn’t get the recognition it deserved as perhaps Radiohead’s best album since OK Computer. By abandoning the record label model and distributing their music on their own terms, they caused such a […]
To be perfectly honest from the off, the three words that are almost guaranteed to send a shiver down our spine are ‘anti’ ‘war’ ‘album’. Thoughts immediately turn to rock stars trying too hard to convey their liberal, empathetic tendencies by making heavy-handed, ego-centric music that, more often than not, patronises its subject matter and […]
