“It’s about time that we make a stand and start playing together in our own band” – It is indeed. Frankie & the Heartstrings kept the promise made in their single Hunger from their recently released debut album and they will be playing at the Magnet tonight. They have quite a unique style which wobbles

The Ramones Museum has another goody for you. The Fog Joggers will be playing live at the Ramones Museum and they will be playing a few new songs of their forthcoming album. I am usually skeptical of German Bands that sing in English but this one has me convinced. I also don’t normally like covers

Mirrors is one of those bands that makes it hard for you to find anything decent about them on the internet (I mean, try and google Mirrors and you get about a gazillion useless results). Once you have found them, you won’t be disappointed though. Four-piece Mirrors from Brighton refer to their musical style as

It’s needless to say anything about the Wombats. Who doesn’t know who the Wombats are by now? Their gig at the Lido in October was sold out so this one was moved to a bigger venue immediately. What I like most about the Wombats is that they aren’t another Joy Division copycat band but that

The Good Natured is not a band but rather 19 year old Sarah McIntosh (no relation to Apple, I guess) from Berkshire, England. Her first EP Warriors was critically acclaimed by the press.
