Single Review by Nigel A. Messenger
Don’t be fooled by the title of the record RADIO DISCO as this is definitely not a dance track.
The name of this Dublin band, Wilt, is deceiving too because their raw guitar, fast-paced music, sounds like it could seriously kick some musical butt!
The bands debut album

Single Review by Mark Bayross
Cormac Battle and co have been quietly gaining ground since pulling the plug on Kerbdog and resurfacing as the spiky, perky pop-punk Wilt. Their debut album BASTINADO was pleasantly surprising and this single won’t harm their reputation either.
It’s a feel-good indie guitar romp that, while hardly breaking new

This could be the year that we see Wilt finally make an impression on the charts, given the current trend for big guitars and bigger choruses, as their second album MY MEDICINE is chock full of both.
Opening superbly with shiny new single DISTORTION, it’s anthemic choruses all the

The Barfly, London
The Barfly was packed out for the gig, which in itself is no spectacular feat but still commendable, especially considering support band Fat Dragon’s lead singer was dressed up for the lead part in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. I began to worry that I might spill someone’s

Single Review by Mark Bayross
William Orbit must be keeping his bank manager pretty chuffed these days. Not only has his exercise in chin-stroking coffee-table classica PIECES IN A MODERN STYLE gone gold and the accompanying single BARBER’S ADAGIO FOR STRINGS sold 300,000 copies all over the world, but he started the millennium by

Album Review by Mark Bayross
Most people will know William Orbit from his production work with Blur, Seal, Prince and most famously, Madonna. Fewer people will know that he spent the late 80s and early 90s in the band Torch Song and as a solo artist, releasing the cosmic prog-trance STRANGE CARGO trilogy, and
