Sainte Catherines – live at The Fest!
I’m trying something a bit different here – a live stream of Montreal punk band the Sainte Catherines playing at The Fest in Gainesville. Hopefully the embed code will work, and thanks to Erica of Yowie.com for alerting me to this. This post goes live at 8pm and the set will begin at 9pm GMT. [...]
Charles the Osprey – Consider
There’s an amusing anecdote in the press release I was sent for Charles the Osprey’s Consider, and although normally quoting directly from a press release would be complete anathema to me, I’m going to share this: Charles the Osprey’s moment of infamy was brief and bittersweet. After a show early into the band’s tenure as [...]
Fake Problems – Real Ghosts Caught On Tape
Formed in 2005, Floridian folk-punk band Fake Problems released their first album in 2007. They’ve not been slack since then, following How Far Our Bodies Go with It’s Great To Be Alive in 2009. A year and a half on and here’s their latest offering, Real Ghosts Caught On Tape. Back in their early days [...]
Banquets – This Is Our Concern, Dude (7″)
Apparently Banquets are named for a brand of beer, so I was going to open with a predictable joke about pissweak American lager. However, it turns out that the parent company of Coors (who make Coors Original, aka. “the Banquet Beer”) are also responsible for mid-range beers like Grolsch here in the UK. They’re also [...]

RVIVR – Dirty Water EP
If it seems like just a few weeks have passed since I reviewed a record from an ex-Latterman outfit, that’s mainly because it was. And like Iron Chic, RVIVR are generating pop-punk tunes that are fun, catchy and warm… although lyrically RVIVR are more upbeat than the scathing outsider poetry of their counterparts. I was [...]
Finally, an image of what Cameron’s “Big Society” will look like
The Orwellian online scheme was dreamt up by Devon company ‘Internet Eyes’. They want people to sign up and monitor multiple real-time CCTV feeds from shops and businesses – and then compete to correctly alert them of any perceived suspicious behaviour occurring. The most eagle-eyed snooper each month can win a £1000 prize. But beware! [...]
Something original and unique or completely horrible
I didn’t know people reviewed blogs, but apparently they do! A reader has reviewed me on Scribnia: Shaun Green manages to put literature, gaming, punk Rock all together to somehow turn this into a blog. It hosts or points at his fiction, book, music, game, film reviews, info about his musical projects, and other general [...]
