Concert Review by Mark Bayross The Kentish Town Forum – 8 December 2004 An evening of ear-splitting metal is always fun and tonight London’s Kentish Town Forum was hosting three bands with a common agenda of sonic extremity but each with a slightly different way of caving your head in. First up were Ephel Album Review by Mark Bayorss Following on from his successful PROTOTYPE series for Global Underground, Radio One’s Seb Fontaine has released another double mix album, this time on Perfecto. And if you can’t rely on a pro like Seb Fontaine to compile your mix CDs, then you may as well not bother with the Music Review by Natalie Homer Quick! Name a member of the Pussycat Dolls that isn’t Nicole Scherzinger who seems to have become more famous for dating F1 race car driver Lewis Hamilton than for her music. You can’t can you? Despite the album’s first single, WHEN I GROW UP reaching the Top Ten in Album Review by EDF Pulse Engine are a London based duo comprised of Nick Cottam on bass guitar / vocals and Andrew Booker on drums / vocals.

Quite why they bothered is beyond me. Album Review by Mark Bayross Named after a Credence Clearwater Revival song and signed to Noel Gallagher’s Sour Mash label, Mancunian five-piece Proud Mary hardly represent a blast of innovation in the tired, insipid world of popular guitar music today. Calling their debut album THE SAME OLD BLUES doesn’t help much either. If the Single Review by Mark Bayross I wasn’t very complimentary about Proud Mary’s debut single VERY BEST FRIEND, and with this, the follow-up, I’m afraid to say, not much has changed. ALL GOOD THINGS is also produced by Noel Gallagher and, like its predecessor, also sounds about as vital and fresh as your Grandpa’s slippers. Album Review by Mark Bayross After over five years together, a couple of singles and support slots with the great and the good in metal, rock and hardcore circles, Canadian five piece Protest The Hero finally deliver their debut album.
