Album Review by EDF
Opening THE VISION album with a 52-second instrumental intro, INTO THE DARKNESS sets the listener up to a musical timewarp where 1980’s metal is still alive with kick drums ablazing. Why, you might ask, should you even bother listening to this old dinosaur music? Well, this type of music is

Album Review by Mark Bayross
With a title like that, you kind of know what to expect. This album is a soundtrack to the biggest-grossing entertainment spectacle in America since the Superbowl: the muscle ballet that is the World Wrestling Federation.
Most of the WWF personalities are catered for here, each with their own

The Borderline, London – May 2005
Tonight the 100+ strong at the Borderline in London were truly honoured to receive ex 16 Horsepower front man David Eugene Edwards as he travelled through with his band Woven Hand. To say that I had been waiting a long time for this

Album Review by Mark Bayross
Having thrown in the towel 11 years ago and then re-formed in 2001 to play sold out live shows to the still-faithful, The Wonder Stuff, or at least Miles Hunt and Malc Treece, have finally put out an album of new material.
Not a lot has changed; Hunt’s acerbic

Single Review by Mark Bayross
Following on from Miles Hunt’s recent comeback album comes this five track maxi single featuring one of the album’s stand-out songs plus the title track in re-recorded, slightly more rocked-up versions. As a further incentive, the single includes remixes of both songs by Johnny Dope of Alabama 3, including

Single Review by Mark Bayross
With their second album MY MEDICINE getting deservedly good reviews, Irish four piece Wilt have released the REM-sounding UNDERSTAND as their next single.
While not as immediately impressive as the dynamic TAKE ME HOME, it’s a worthy addition to the roster of catchy singles that make up Cormac and

Single Review by Mark Bayross
Affable Irishmen Wilt return with a new guitarist on board (Derren Dempsey) and the first single from their sophomore album MY MEDICINE.
Powered by an infectiously bouncy bass line, the single finds Cormac Battle in fine voice and Wilt in anthemic mood. Backed by the Foo Fighters-ish TELL YOU

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 Nigel A. Messenger
OPEN ARMS is Wilt’s third single release taken from their forthcoming debut album BASTINADO.
Available on 2 CDs and 7 inch formats, the single features exclusive tracks recorded in session for XFM radio in March this year.
The CDs also feature conversions of Bruce Springsteen’s MANSION ON THE

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
