WILD PALMS

‘Over Time’ is the debut single from London band, WILD PALMS.
Suffice to say it’s an anticipated release amongst those in the know,
as the band, Lou, Gareth, James and Darrell have created somewhat of a following since their conception a year ago.
This is my new favorite band very interesting and new.

The Cinematics

The Cinematics are an alternative rock band from Scotland

The bands debut album “A Strange Education” was relased in 2007

The Cinematics' second album, Love and Terror, was released on 6th October 2009.

The album has a darker, more raw sound than that found on their debut album,
although there have been examples of synthesisers being used in addition to guitars, bass
and drums, and the songs appear to be more lyric-based. The band’s website confirms that
they will be touring Europe extensively in 2010 and in their Myspace blogs they have stated that they expect to
return to North America also. In interviews the band have also stated that
they expect to write and record a third album, between touring, for release in 2010, although this has yet to be confirmed.

GOO

Goo formed from the ashes of Bangkok based band Futon.

They played their debut show in 2009 in Hanoi, Vietnam and performed live for the first time in Thailand at the FAT FESTIVAL in November 2009.

The band has just finished recording with Slot Machine producer Scott Moffat.

The recordings will appear on a limited edition CD, called ‘Sponsored by Nobody’ that will be given away free to fans. With no sponsor or record company support, it was an incredible struggle for Goo to get the songs recorded. The band’s intention to keep the songs pure and free from any corporate interference meant they had to maintain complete control and not sell out to ‘the man’.

Inspired by the Sex Pistols classic ‘Spunk’ bootleg album (a collection of early demos that was released on vinyl) Goo decided to release the raw recordings to ensure the songs kept their soul and weren’t sanitized by over cautious record companies or obtrusive sponsors. The anthemic songs appear uncompromised and intact without apology.

Sea Within A Sea - The Horrors [piano]

Good Job.

Let there be rock

"Let there be sound", and there was sound
"Let there be light", and there was light
"Let there be drums", and there was drums
"Let there be guitar", and there was guitar
"Let there be rock"

One night in a club called `The Shaking Hand'
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
The music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
"Let there be rock"

Love this song forever
