Over all it’s a great progression from ‘The Glass Passenger’ – its usual Jack’s Mannequin but stronger, growing…the band has ventured into third-album territory and come out the other side with an impressive set of songs. It’s satisfying mix of fast and slow, various instruments and feelings and leaves an all-round positive feeling behind in its wake…read more

On Sunday night 9th October, Tash Pretty went to local live music venue Fowlers Live to see a band she never actually thought she would ever see perform live – the fabulous, 70’s glam/punk outfit themselves, the New York Dolls
When Patrick Stump announced after Fall Out Boy’s split in 2009 that he would be focusing on a solo career, it was met with both excitement and apprehension. Would the singer/guitarist follow the pop-punk route of his band’s music, or – like his band mates Andy Hurley and Joe Trohman (now members of heavy-rock act The Damned Things) – head in a completely different musical direction? Some two years later and the answer to this question was provided in the form of Stump’s début album ‘Soul Punk’ read more

Not that there’s any pressure on Cartel or anything, but they do have this rep as one of the Best Freakin’ Bands Of All Time in the pop-rock world. Definitely not the most recognised, nor the most toured, but they have an ability to churn out fantastic tracks, one after the other, on every single release they put out. So it’s enough to leave anyone hesitant to know that the recipe for hopeful success has been changed this time around. With the departure of bassist Jeff Lett, the parting of ways with Wind Up Records and the decision to release ‘In Stereo’ purely in digital form, apprehensiveness is excusable. Read more…
One of the hardest working bands out there, and certainly close to being our favourite bunch of dudes behind some instruments,Broadway Calls are popping up all over America right now to promote the release of their latest EP ‘Toxic Kids‘.

The arrival of Gym Class Heroes on stage is met with screams that say quite clearly; three years has been way too long. Indeed, bassist Eric Roberts, and drummer Matt McGinley look almost as excited as everyone else as they bound on stage, followed suit by guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasahgo (guitars), and unofficial co-vocalist Dejesus, who comes on brandishing a flag almost as tall as him, emblazoned with the GCH logo. But of course, the loudest screams are saved for vocalist Travie McCoy…read more
