Preview: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
It’s the Stones versus T-Rex, dirty rock’n'roll that’s just a tad grunge. It can only be The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Back in the UK this winter on tour following the release of their new album ‘Beat the Devils Tattoo’.
Review: Annihilator @ Wedgewood Rooms, 11th Nov 2010
The crowd is difficult to place tonight. A mixture of older fans who remember classic Annihilator and the much younger generation with tons of energy.
Review: Ellie Goulding @ Southampton Guildhall, 16th November
Southampton Guildhall was the venue for the latest stop on Ellie’s sold out tour around our green and slightly nippy shores. A very deserving winner of the BBC’s Sound of 2010, it has been a whirlwind year for the 23 year old.
Preview: Reef @ Pyramids 27th November
If you haven’t heard Place Your Hands more than twelve-thousand times since it was released as a single in 1996, you’ve got off lightly. Yet, despite being brutally overplayed, those first few chords still have the same effect now.
Review: Fenech-Soler @ The Kraken Wakes, 7th November
The Kraken Wakes saw its small gig area get a sonic barrage of music, courtesy of a great start by Watashi Calcutechs, a band only possibly summed up as a hybrid of Biffy Clyro and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Easy Star All-Stars @ Wedgewood Rooms, 26th October
You don’t often see a venue packed with people skanking while singing along to When I’m Sixty-Four one minute and Karma Police the next, but Easy Star All-Stars manage to get that response.
Reviews: Singles of the Fortnight
Every week, we at Pugwash News we get sent various LPs from PR people wanting us to review their stuff. Here is a round up of the singles we received over the last two weeks.
Album review: Bring Me The Horizon – There Is a Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let’s Keep It a Secret
After taking a deep breath and reciting the album title Ace Ventura style, it’s time to get down to the blood and guts of the matter. Bring Me the Horizon are a band often lauded as being at the forefront of British metal, critically acclaimed and with a rabid fan following.
Review: A Genuine Freakshow @ Cellars at Eastney, 9th November
A ‘no front man needed’ army of great musicians dressed in black clothes and comfy shoes are the essential ingredients that make ‘A Genuine Freakshow’. The Reading based, 7-piece, post-rock pop band played to an intimate crowd at The Cellars in Portsmouth.
Review: James Blunt – Some Kind of Trouble
No-one can deny that James Blunt is the Marmite of music. On the other hand his debut, Back to Bedlam, was somehow the biggest selling album of the Noughties. Does that mean that James Blunt is a guilty pleasure for a lot of people?
