The Pangs - First Online Review
The first of many reviews for The Pangs, this comes from Gigwise
"Debut singles often come and go but The Pangs ‘Fighterplane’ is an undisputed keeper. A love of electronic music fused with guitar driven song writing delivers a Gorillaz styled stomp through fuzzy beats and unhurried distorted vocals that match this newly formed five piece’s understated confidence. Nonchalant ability rolled into 4 minutes of sauntering enchantment this is a charmer of an insight into the world of The Pangs and one that deserves to place them firmly on the ones to watch map."
Just wait until they see the video from zeroh!

Deborah Harry Featured On First Post
Deborah Harry's "Necessary Evil" reviewed on First Post
"You wouldn't expect an artist who's just turned 63 and is 40 years into her recording career to still be pushing herself but there's very little on Debbie Harry's sixth album that sounds familiar or safe - apart from her unmistakable voice."

The Sun Online : Lineker girl's raunchy video
from Today's The Sun Online :
"HERE are the Bux-om treasures that have turned football legend GARY LINEKER's head. The Match Of The Day presenter's new girlfriend DANIELLE BUX has stripped off for a raunchy music video based on cult 1980s movie Weird Science. In the vid - for the new single Hands Up by electro act OUT OF OFFICE - two nerds use their computer to build their perfect woman.
And the object of their desires is played by the busty model. Reprising the role KELLY LEBROCK played in the film, Danielle, 28, repays the lads by stripping off her black negligee and gold bra and taking a shower with them. She even teaches the geeky guys how to kiss and dance and takes them to a party, wearing a short yellow dress that barely covers her golden undies.
Earlier this week The Sun brought you snaps of Gary, 46, and Danielle taking a stroll through Richmond Park at the weekend.
The Welsh single-mum, 18 years his junior, is the ex-England international's first serious love interest since his split from wife Michelle last year. A pal said: "They've really hit it off."
- Hands Up is out now on Frenetic Music"

Deborah Harry Channel 4 Review
Deborah Harry 'Two Times Blue' (Eleven Seven)
Contrary to popular belief, Blondie have released several decent singles since the early eighties and Deborah Harry did not stop being good the moment she realised she'd made it through the 1970s in one piece. Here's the proof. 'Two Times Blue' is almost certainly the greatest single she's made in over 20 years, and sees the 62-year-old new wave princess deliver a tune that manages to keep the spirit of her history alive while at the same time sounding not unlike something Girls Aloud might treat us to on their upcoming album.

Booty Luv Review On Channel 4
"OK, it's no 'Boogie 2Nite' but this is still great dancefloor fun. A re-working of the Lucy Pearl classic and already a hit in the clubs for a million years, this should get the girls back in to the Top 20. As well as being a fine answer to the adulterous Terra Naomi, the single also comes with a fine selection of remixes with Seamus Haji, Bimbo Jones, Thomas Gold and Soul Survivors all successfully adding something new to this infectious taster from their superb debut album. And that must make about 700 versions on one single which means it works out at about 3p per track - remarkable value."

Sonny J "Band Of The Day" Guardian Online
"Sonny J, short for Sonnington James III, is a turntablist Scouser now living in Kent with a twin penchant for early-70s soul and early-70s spin-offs of telly cartoon shows featuring blockbuster pubescent soul-family ensembles. The video to his debut single Can't Stop Moving is a Spike Jonze-ish hotpants-and-afro amateur retro-fest, while on YouTube the song, which has shrill boy vocals that must surely be sampled from an old Jackson 5 album track, has been hooked up to old footage from that J5 Hanna-Barbera TV series they used to show on Saturday mornings back to back with the one starring little animated Osmonds. Remember? Us neither. Far too young. But our parents swear by them. Talking of bad habits, Can't Stop Moving, which has the words This Year's Gnarls Barkley running through it like a stick of rock, is one of those scarily addictive songs-as-narcotics that they should liquidise and put in Pete Doherty's crackpipe. It's a legal high, baby."

"Some Kinda Rush" Booy Luv Record Of The Day!
Booty Luv's debut album "Boogie 2Nite" is out on 17th September, and one of the album tracks co written by the girls is today's Record Of The Day :)
"Some Kinda Rush is taken from Booty Luv's forthcoming album Boogie 2Nite. They've had two top ten hits from their first two singles (Boogie 2Nite sold just under 200,000), and current single Don't Mess With My Man is getting radio support across the board. The early reactions to their album, much of which is original material with co-writes from the Booty Luv duo themselves (Cherise Roberts and Nadia Shepherd from Big Brovaz), has been wholly positive. There's a strong yield of singles on the album, including this great track which showcases the girls' quality top-line vocals as well as irresistible dance production."

Deborah Harry God Is In The TV Review
Review from the cool zine God Is In The TV for Deborah Harry
Unlike Madonna, Debbie Harry still has life pumping through her veins. Her first solo outing for fourteen years, “Necessary Evil” is a strategic tour de force, incorporating elements of almost of her musical excursions, while keeping the style relatively close to the band that propelled her to superstardom, Blondie.
While this is only a five track sampler, it’s certainly obvious that “Necessary Evil” is a veritable platter of influences, with each track taking a different approach musically, yet all remain stamped with her idiosyncratic vocal stylings. As the album progresses, the songs become more experimental, with “Charm Alarm” and the obscurely delivered “Whiteout” being the most abstract, with a Kate Nash, or even Lilly Allen brat-like nuance. However, each chorus the album offers is jam packed with the anthemic guitars, straight ahead drums, and elegant cool that graced the best of Blondie’s material.

Honeyroot Where I Belong Review on MusicOMH
Another brilliant review for Honeyroot, this from MusicOMH
Where I Belong is taken from the new Honeyroot album The Sun Will Come, and while the full package is a slow burner, the single is one of its more immediately sun-kissed moments.
A playful Ska beat over summery pop melodies, helped along by the tones of country chanteuse Kim Richey, combines to make a near-perfect tune that's arrived conveniently and concurrently with decent bank holiday weather.
Imagine it shimmering out from a beachfront boombox, warm beer in one hand and the sand between your toes. This isn't the most obvious outcome you might guess could emerge from a union of Glenn Gregory and a Nashville lovely, but there are no complaints from here.

Great Freaks The Creeps Review on MusicOMH
Brilliant review for Freaks "The Creeps" on MusicOMH
I'm not a big pop fan. There, I've said it. I don't really do clubs (not since that incident that I can't really talk about). I most certainly don't dance; as one great man said "real men don't dance; they sit, sweat and curse."
Still, every so often a single comes along that makes me question my judgement. This is one of those singles. You've probably heard it already seeing as it's been all over the radio since forever. In fact, listening to it now I'm almost filled with nostalgia.
Taking the idea that all you need is one good hook; The Creeps is ridiculously catchy and addictive. Sounding like an unlikely pairing of Peaches and Sugababes, the vocals are immaculate, suggestive and filthy. The bass line is equally dirty, squelching away like a swamp at the bottom of a sewer overflow pipe. But the real hit obviously comes at the chorus which feels less like a catchy line and more like an order "now that you got it, get on the dancefloor."
All of a sudden I've bought myself a sailor suit, a feather boa, I'm polishing the soles of my shoes and heading to the club. Sometimes there's only so much sitting, sweating and cursing you can do.
Be warned: this tune might do strange things to you.

Reading Festival 2007
Nursing sore feet, throat and head after Reading - weather held out and was excellent, as were most of the bands on the NME Radio One Stage I was stage managing - personal highlights, The Foo Fighters planning a secret gig, The Foo Fighters cancelling their secret gig, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, Ash, Enter Shikari (thoroughly nice blokes), The Enemy, The View & Aiden, the latter for his attempts to start a riot by inviting the audience on the stage, those that would make it would get £10. Thankfully, Rab & Co in the pit kept this fee down to just £30 and the lucky three watched the rest of the set from the viewing platform..

Popjustice "Proof That The Booty Luv Album Is Amazing"
Popjustice Daily Pop Briefing:
"Most of our copies of the Booty Luv album sampler have, mysteriously, vanished from the Popjustice offices. We have no idea where they went but we can only assume that the cleaner is having a gay old time listening to them all at her house.

All is not lost however, since Booty Luv (or the people employed to act as Booty Luv in an online capacity) have put a megamix of the album sampler on the Booty Luv MySpace page. Even though 'Don't Mess With My Man' is good, you need to know that it is the second track that you need to pay attention too – 'Some Kinda Rush' is possibly the best Booty Luv track to date and it is not a cover version."

Archangel - A Subba Cultcha Single Of The Month
Another great review for Archangel's "Physical Energy" :
"Bewitchingly catchy at their best, Archangel take the very essence of a balmy summer afternoon and instil it through some jumpy indie rock curves that are impossible to dodge. Never in your face, the songs allure is purely charm based, and one you wont want to resist"a Subba Cultcha Single Of The Month

Honeyroot's "Where I Belong" is Record Of The Day!
A great start to the day, we secured Honeyroot's new single "Where I Belong" as Record Of The Day!
Where I Belong is the lovely second single from the new album The Sun Will Come by Honeyroot (who are Glenn Gregory, formerly of Heaven 17, and Keith Lowndes). The album has picked up plenty of critical praise from all corners (One Week To Live, Janice Long, Tom Robinson) with comparisons being made to Morcheeba, Royksopp, Zero 7 and Massive Attack. It's certainly an electronica record with a lot of soul - this track in particular, thanks to the warming vocals of Nashville singer songwriter Kim Richey. Published by Just Publishing, the album is available for licensing worldwide.
