Big John -
They've Got Us By The Balls
mini album
This is a fine effort from Newport's Big John led by The King Pimple. Seven songs on this mini-album, the opener 'Bulbous' begins with Stereophonic aplomb, rather


similarly to the slapped guitar intro on 'More Life In A Tramps Vest'. 'Bulbous' is a fine song and goes a storm live. Then there's 'I Fought With You', 'Deep Down', 'The Same Old Twist', 'Just Scum', '8 Stone Wet', and 'The Calm Is The Cause'. Available at all good record shops and well worth a purchase.

Trivium -
Entrance Of The Conflagration
new single 18 Dec
Trivium's Christmas single is not for the feint hearted, intro-ing with a spooky gothic style choral into 180bpm metal. Trivium are the natural successor's for Iron Maiden's crown - biggest metal band in the world. Excellent! XXXX

Oasis - Stop The Clocks new album 20 November
Mentors The Beatles were done and dusted in less than seven years from 62-69, Oasis are still going strong twelve years after their firs hit. Hence this compilation of their hits in two CD issues, the single CD or the CD & DVD, very worth the extra. The DVD includes a couple of live tracks, a film trailer and the interview ... so why did Liam's teeth fall out? Oh the indulgence
of great wealth. XXXx oasis.com (Posted 25 Nov)

U2 -
Window In The Sky

new single 1 January

U2 married in 1976, and this wedlock has stood the test of time without so much as a hint of dischord never mind a split. The new single 'Window In The Sky' was recorded last month and sounds as fresh as ever. With a 1st January release date and slow sales they'll be hoping for another number one.


U2 - 18 Singles
new album 20 November

The Edge's chosen charity took the benefit from the collaboration with Green Day but there are so many things to say about U2. Musically missing on this compilation are their first number one from 1988 'The Fly' and the soaring second hit from 1983 'Two Hearts Beat As One'. XXXXx

Wild Beasts
Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants
new single 20 Nov
Hmmm maybe this is a little too in-jokery ... 'the four boys of Wild Beasts aren't concerned with being of the modern...' and so on ... but then again this is on Bad Sneakers Records who take their name from the Leeds club night and there is definately something curiously sharp coming from Leeds right now ... so maybe. XXx

Ripchord -
Lock Up Your Daughters

new single 11 December

Another fine single from 1965 Records (The View's label), Ripchord speed along at around 200bpm with a catchy, jerky pop punk tune. 'Lock Up Your Daughters & Throw Away The Key' may be to indie for our bland commercial stations, but with play on Radio One and who knows maybe even Radcliffe at Radio Two, their frenetic ways may win a few fans.
