B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A The Allsorts, Toronto, Canada. Track: Superhero Get Them Here Great dissonant track this, with more than a shade of the best in
American art school rock, a la the Youth or Pavement. Cheesy keyboards and off centered drumming add interest to this track, where each layer of music seems to be running at different tempos, adding no end of enjoyment
and depth to the proceedings. Lovely in a rain drenched summer day kind of way. (7/10) DL.Ataris, The. California, USA. Track: Summer Wind Was Always Our Song. Get Them Here Pumping piece of emo punk, with some great hooks and pace changes. Colourful and sing along with a lot of tune. Slightly disappointing second half which drags the song out to an
unsatisfactory and overlong instrumental end, after being so snappy and in your face for the first half. But hell! What a great start though! (5/10) DL. B Baby Doll (Demo)1-Society debris 2-Schizophrenia 3-Missing 4-Assassination is the only left
politics 5-Kate 6-This generations' dead 7- Withdrawal 8-Separate 9-Love's ideal 10-Alien 18 With titles like 'Society Debris',' this generations dead' and 'assassination is the only left politics', you'd
be forgiven for immediately thinking would-be manics. And disappointingly you wouldn't be far off the mark. But with a little nurturing 'Baby Doll' should be able to find their own style. Hey it worked for king adora
didn't it? (6/10) AB. C Carousels, Doncaster, England. Track: Theme from Frank Kovacs DI.(MP3) Get Them Here Hum, one is always weary of tracks pertaining to
be soundtracks to imaginary films. This one is quite strong, well produced and sexy in an underpants kind of way. Conjures up images of Shaft running naked around the 'Last of the Summer Wine' set. (6/10) DL.Chemistry Experiment, The. Nottingham, England. Track: Reasonably Happy Fifties Bandleader.(MP3) Get Them HereMoody piece with strong atmosphere. Full of Velvet's chord changes, strange horns, slacker vocals and finished off with a Shadows inspired guitar outro. Takes a while
to get into, and its very understated. Rub the lo fi hiss off, and there is a little diamond of a track waiting to be discovered. (6/10)Clipper (Newport) (Demo)
1. Swag Tim. 2. Myself In Me. 3. Night After Night. 4. High. A schizophrenic demo, the first two tracks are all snarling rock spittle and grunge straight out of Seattle. The second two tracks show up a
mellower side and some strong song writing prowess. Swag Tim starts with eerie wailing, and pounds in with some powerful chords and noise mayhem, building upwards to a satisfactory nervous breakdown both
musically and vocally. Myself in me starts off like someone pretending to be Muse very badly, but then wails in with some heavily vamped, metal blues guitar, before sliding into hard-core punk grindings and lots of
muted power chords. Noisy and lean, good head rock that pitters out with a thump just as you get into the groove. Night After Night takes the slow road, and just sounds a bit too folky and uninspired after
the rocking assault of the first two tracks and is the weakest track of the four. High is a strong number in the mellower stakes, with some nice bongos and rhythms which bring to mind 'you can't always get what you
want' by the Stones. Strings and things make this a pleasant track, gliding effortless into the powerful Pearl Jam like singing in the middle of the song.
Verdict: Newport Band in 'actually quite good' shocker! (7/10) DL Website Cordisto, Aylesbury, England. Track: Someday Morning.(MP3) Get Them Here Pedestrian in the main, jaunty and sing along. This sounds like a fuzzed up Crowded House number with some strong Nick Drake sounding vocals to boot. Just as you're about to
write it off completely it redeems itself with an out of the blue sonic assault that just about lifts this one from the average. (5/10) DL.Communion, The. Blackpool, England. Track: Sorry. (MP3)
Get Them Here Its like the nineties never happened for this earnest band of young men. Pleading vocals which almost passes for Robert Smith, and a
rhythm section to boot. The Cure on valium, suffering a melancholic fit. This is one infectious tune, and demands not to be ignored. You'll have a lump in your throat and a hand firmly on heart whistling this little
diamond of a song. (7/10) DL. Click on letter for required review section. A
