I Hate Kate

ALBUM OF THE MONTH: OCTOBER 2008

I really shouldn't like this, but I do - what an album!

Hunger's Mother

Reviewed: "Self titled"

Packed with oodles of groove and swagger, Northern Ireland’s Hunger’s Mother will appeal to fans of seventies rock aplenty.

Home from Home

Reviewed: "Demo"

Today’s Special - Sharp, abrasive blasts of harmony drenched punk pop, served with a tight rhythm section drizzled over with 2 different varieties of guitar.

Hanoi Rocks

Reviewed: Street Poetry

I don't think I'm being unfair when I say that my expectations for a 2007 Hanoi Rocks album were, well, pretty low.

The Haiku

Reviewed: "Man Make Fire"

Most of you reading this will know that The Haiku formed from the ashes of splendid hippified popsters Harvey, well known for their sometimes eccentric approach to musicmaking. So, here’s a new line up - which has been slimmed down to a simple guitar (Phil) and drums (Bert) duo and has been rather amusingly described as “a mix of folk and emo”.

Guile

Reviewed: Serendipity

Apparently, Guile have been compared to Sonic Youth, PIL, Whipping Boy and a bunch of other bands that they sound nothing like - maybe these refer to their live gigs or something, because on CD they couldnt be any further from the afore mentioned bands. Which is a shame.
