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 J Johnson Avenue, Maryland, USA. Track: You Can't Touch Me. (MP3) Get Them Here Rock hard female vocals somewhere between The
Runaways and L7 stand out in this nasty tale of sexual abuse and anguish. Pile driving guitars and lilting drums make this an awesome slice of rock with a sting in the tail. Guaranteed to stick in your craw for a long
time. (7/10) DL. K
Kicking Howard, Florida, USA. Track: Thirty - Three. (MP3)
Get Them Here Chirpy piece of American college indie pop, with plenty of earnest, edgy vocals with depth. Lovely guitars,
thumping changes, and enough tasty hooks to string up a school of kippers. More pleasurable than running naked through the office with a cut out picture of George W Bush on the front and Al Gore behind, just to cover
your modesty! (8/10) DL. L Legs Akimbo, Neath, Wales. Track: Spoilt Child. (MP3) Get Them Here Got to give them credit for rhyming 'want' with
'c***' in the chorus, but ultimately that is part of their downfall. Spiky, arrogant, brash, power pop, full of spite. The swearing sort of doesn't impress (don't get me wrong, I swear like a trooper), it makes you
wince and ask what are they trying to prove? Shock for shock's sake? Not that shocking really. (3/10) DL.Lock Down Entertainment, Georgia USA. Track: R U Ready? (MP3) Get Them Here
Hard hitting and uncompromising piece of hip hop, full of bile and hatred, asking the eternal question of us all. Are you ready to die?
Underpinned by some solid and symphonic sounding synth rhythms which bring Old DB to mind. Strong rap vocals full of passion and interest. Why ain't we getting more stuff like this coming through, other than the bland
corporate dross being passed out by Eminem and his ilk. (6/10) DL.The Lollies, London. England. Track: Boycrush Pusher. (MP3) Get Them Here Chiming, grating, punky, girlie power pop to please even the most demanding, cardigan wearing, long haired, over sensitive spotty teenager. Plenty of power riffing and
earnest non singing. Strangely reminiscent of 4AD band 'His Name is Alive', without the angelic pretense and going through a mid 80's phase. Not the most original thing I've heard this week, but it is certainly the
sound of girls with guitars having a great time. (6/10) DL. Click on letter for required review section.A 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 |
