Album Review by EDF
New York based Heroes Of the Alamo started life when drummer Kevin Slane placed a number of ads of which he recruited lead guitarist/vocalist Todd Carlstrom, guitarist/vocalist Dave Makuen and Dave’s friend Richard Brown to handle bass duties. They gigged for over a year before they decided to record the

The boogie boys are back in town and what sounds they bring with them. That’s about it. It’s business as usual and unfortunately there seems to be a law of diminishing return when it comes to their material. The 70’s saw them release 6 albums of unashamed boogie-woogie blues. The

Zero 7 are back with more of the same smooth atmospheric sounds that were found on their last album SIMPLE THINGS. This might be a bit too relaxing for even the Dido crowd but when music like this has a lot to offer, it should be warmly embraced. Pure class.

EP Review by EDF
Zamza is the brainchild of keyboardist / producer Max Kourbanov who has been performing locally in his native Russia for the best part of a decade. His influence is within electronic music and interests with the likes of Fat Boy Slim, The Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers amongst others. This

Single Review by Mark Bayross
No need to guess what this is about. World Cup singles are now as traditional to the England experience as losing on penalties in the quarter finals but the difference with this one is possibly the fact that the five blokes singing it are all builders from Bromley. Unless

Single Review by Mark Bayross
They’re back to blow your mind. Releases by the Young Gods are such gems, but they are few and far between. The last single, KISSING THE SUN came out in 1995, as did its accompanying album, ONLY HEAVEN, and since then, only an avant-garde remix album and Alain “Comet”

Concert Review by Mark Bayross
LA2, London – 30 May 2000
Despite the fact this is taking place on a Tuesday night, the LA2 is packed, and not just with the usual crowd of goths and rivetheads. Many of the audience appear to have come straight from the office. In this context, the industrial
