Single Review by EDF The follow-up to SHINY DISCO BALLS features Terra Deva, the voice on the Shakedown track AT NIGHT. Here Terra’s vocals sound remarkably like John Lydon that before the song is finished, you can imagine Lydon jumping up and down singing this. In fact, it would have been a better track Album Review by EDF When I read the bio notes that Tyrone Houston is a rap artist, it is hard not to compare him to other rap artists. Listening through this album, I am glad to admit that my immediate comparison to Eminem is confined to the first track, DO ANYTHING. This Atlanta, U.S. Album Review by Mark Bayross POWDER BURNS sees The Twilight Singers fulfil the potential they have always promised as Greg Dulli, wounded and incensed by the tragedy that befell his adopted hometown of New Orleans last year, has mustered all his heart and soul into an album of astonishing power and beauty. Opening with Music Review by Nigel A. Messenger This is the Joseph Arthur-enhanced opener from the excellent new album POWDER BURNS and sees Greg Dulli and his charges on furious form, although it probably makes more sense in the context of setting up the album’s subsequent rage.

While there is nothing particularly ground breaking within its 16 (+1) tracks, the album succeeds in pressing all the right Single Review by Mark Bayross Having originally appeared on last year’s KID INDESTRUCTIBLE EP, the infectiously catchy SUCKER has been given a single release of its own. Like previous single RIP IT UP, this punchy little number demonstrates what’s so damn brilliant about 28 Days’ electrifying blend of hip-hop, punk and rock. Also included Single Review by Mark Bayross As 28 Days singer Jay Dunne told me in a recent PHASE9 interview, RIP IT UP is about “fuck all”. Well, lyrically that may be true, but it’s also the sound of 28 Days going for a proper, bona fide hit single on this side of the hemisphere after EP Review by Mark Bayross Melbourne five piece 28 Days have been winning over our antipodean cousins since their birth in 1998, so much so that their debut album UPSTYLEDOWN entered the Aussie charts at Number One.
