413 ‘Path To Hocma’ CD 2010
29th March 2011

Not 666 or 999 or 123. These Iberian noiseniks have chosen 413. Could it be the international dialling code for Spain? (It’s not – I checked and it’s +34). Or maybe it’s the number of strings broken by the guitarist…

Enos ‘Chapter 1′ CDEP 2010
25th March 2011

Where most stoner bands regale their listeners with tales of drunken debauchery, fast cars, drug exploits…etc, Brighton’s Enos emerge with a totally different concept. Enos was a chimpanzee that in 1961 was launched into space as the first animal to…

Axxonn ‘Lets Get It Straight’ CD 2011
24th March 2011

Axxonn is Brisbane-based sound artist Tom Hall, and not to be confused with the Axons, a race of tentacle-bedecked alien beasties disguised as golden-skinned humanoids who menaced Doctor Who during the Jon Pertwee years. An easy mistake to make, but…

Coffin On Tyres ‘Red’ CD 2010
22nd March 2011

There is something very appealing about French rock bands. Though many of them fail to make the dent they often so richly deserve on the global rock market, they are often the equal of many of their UK or American…

Burger World – ST – CDEP 2011
19th March 2011

There is a certain charm about truly underground music; Nothing captures the feel of rock and roll quite like watching a band in a darkened, scuzzy, beer smelling dive of a bar and Burger World are the epitome of this…
