TGR SONG OF THE WEEK: STROSZEK

No More ExclusivesSearching for something to heal the wound left by brutally jagged indie pop?  Then look no further than the stripped down, lo-fi ecstasy of No More Exclusives by Stroszek. ...

EP REVIEW: THE GREAT MONEY TRICK - 7/10

Patterns E.P.Occasionally ropy vocals actually apply quantities of character to Patterns, managing to remain appealing against the Smiths-esque, jangling background.  However there are snippets w...

DEMO REVIEW: THE BITCHWHORES OF BABYLON - 2/10

If minimalistic metal, executed in a frustratingly restricted vain is your bag, then look no further that The Bitchwhores Of Babylon.  Apparently, these four demo tracks were taken from their 200...

LIVE REVIEW: IAMCHEMIST - 6/10

Looking like a cross between Paul McKenna and the cover of The Man Machine, Iamchemist is a strangely intriguing little chap.  Generating puzzlement is something this one-man-band should be used ...

DEMO REVIEW: HIGH COMMISSIONER - 7/10

Layering the sounds on with varying thickness, High Commissioner demonstrate some powerful production through Extra Life.  Highlights in this down beat, Beta Band/Hot Chip hybrid include a qualit...

DEMO REVIEW: SET IN STONE - 5/10

TGR SONG OF THE WEEK: ST DELUXE

Distant LightLike most mantras, Distant Light conjures up a sense of control and salvation from the jaws of impending doom.   Possessing a variety of sounds from grittier indie climates, und...

DEMO REVIEW: THE ADS - 5/10

Despite being fairly sprightly, All Gone Wrong is sadly a residual part of the post-indie overspill commandeered by The Libertines and indeed much better offerings could be found in abundance three y...

EP REVIEW: L'IL ZE - 5/10

Dangerous EPLike an unthreatening indie rock/hip-hop crossover, opener Real Ze arouses similarities to a domesticated Beastie Boys, with only a hint of a swagger.  Despite some pleasant touches, ...
