Just before I start this review, I would like to state that I’m a huge fan of Camera Obscura and whilst I will try my best to be impartial and review them as fairly as I can, I doubt I will be able to. So here goes: Read more
Rise Against - Appeal To Reason
October 16, 2008 by Cal Richardson · 1 Comment
Rise Against storm the UK this october with their 5th studio album Appeal to Reason. Combining their usual political lyrics with post-punk guitar riffs see them writing, quite possibly, their best work to date. Opening track Collapse (Post-Amerika), kicks the album off with energy aplenty, just as State of the Union did on their 3rd record Siren Song of the Counter Culture. Read more

For the consummate gig-goer, there’s nothing as satisfying as going to a show you’ve been ambivalent about and being completely blown away. Some of the best shows I’ve ever been to have come entirely out of the blue - Feist, Martha Wainwright, Battles, Built To Spill - but Friday night’s performance by oddball harpist extraordinaire Joanna Newsom has to rank as the most delightful surprise of them all. Indeed, if it hadn’t been for the slightly underwhelming encore, it might very well have been my show of the year. Read more

When the, “Looking forward to seeing you!” e-mail arrived on 20 September 07 from 02, I could barely contain myself, I was so excited. As a huge Prince fan I was a bit worried that finally getting to see him live after all this time, I might be disappointed. I need not have worried. Read more
