Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreaks Release Date: 24th Nov 2008 Format: Album With 808s, Kanye West makes a stylistic change away from his college rap trilogy and seems to have ditched rap altogether to make this album of RnB tunes. Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy Release Date: 24th Nov 2008 Format: Album After what, 17 years, Guns N Roses mythological album Chinese Democracy actually hits the stores!? I never thought I would see the day (incidently just like Dr Pepper who promised everyone in America a free can if it actually came out this year)! Surely an album that has been 17 years in the making must have been created to sheer perfection? Ralfe Band - Attic Thieves Release Date: 13th Oct 2008 Format: Album Welcome to the off kilter, off the beaten track, down a side road, near those scary looking trees, you know, the ones that look like a bunch of old men praying to a bush that bears an uncanny resemblance to Queen Victoria on the toilet doing a difficult jigsaw puzzle, world of Ollie Ralfe. Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul Release Date: 6th Oct 2008 Format: Album Oasis offer us another slice of the magic pie with their new album "Dig Out Your Soul". By this I mean it falls into the category of not being another "Definitely Maybe" or "(What's the Story?) Morning Glory", but it still a pretty solid album. Metallica - Death Magnetic Release Date: 12th Sep 2008 Format: Album Metallica, the band who put the grrr! into grumpy fortysomethings, who still inadvisably wear shorts and who probably use the word motherfucker a lot in press interviews, are back in the saddle (same horse, new saddle) Mogwai - The Hawk Is Howling Release Date: 22nd Sep 2008 Format: Album Scotland's Mogwai have actually been at the forefront of post rock since its conception, ever since their 1997 debut "Young Team", Mogwai are still going strong and have now delivered us their sixth full length album, "The Hawk Is Howling". Kings Of Leon - Only By the Night Release Date: 22nd Sep 2008 Format: Album Kings of Leon return just a year after their brilliant "Because of the Times" album with an album that sounds almost like a sequel in terms of sound and ideas. "Only By the Night" is one of the rare sequels that outdoes its predecessor. The Verve - Forth Release Date: 25th Aug 2008 Format: Album It pains me to write anything too negative about the Verve. I was a fan right from the get go. (Rose, get the Tardis out, set the controls for Derby 1992, a chaotic gig in front of 15 people, a deaf barmaid and a whippet called Terry). Russell's Teapot - Desire EP Release Date: 1st Sep 2008 Format: Album Russell’s Teapot is like nothing you have heard before. The debut EP ‘Desire’ is a collection of five songs that cannot be pigeon-holed nor can they be compared to each other. ‘Desire’ is tapas for music lovers - a bit of everything to satisfy everyone. It is unpredictable and definitely moreish. Primal Scream - Beautiful Future Release Date: 21st Jul 2008 Format: Album Think insipid, think irrelevant, think anorexic rock ’n‘ roll fed through a cheap saline drip, think Primal Scream and the inarticulate stick insect that is Bobby Gillespie. Blakfish - See You In Another City EP Release Date: 4th Aug 2008 Format: Album To be fair any band linked to Big Scary Monsters are where it’s at right now. It’s a fact, like Amy Winehouse likes a cheeky high now and then. And Blakfish are no exception. The Marches - Album Sampler Release Date: 21st Jul 2008 Format: Album You’d think that The Marches would be some sort of trendy indie band but you couldn’t be further from the truth. Not that they’re not trendy. Just not solely indie. Turbowolf - Bite Me Like A Dog/Power!!!!! Release Date: 31st Mar 2008 Format: Single With a name like Turbowolf you’d expect these guys to be some crazy cats from Sweden or something. Crazy yes, Swedish no. They’re actually from Bristol and are hot property. Madonna - hard candy Release Date: 28th Apr 2008 Format: Album Let's go to the disco with Madonna, leave your brain with the doorman, put on your slingbacks, knock back a couple of Bacardi breezers and turn up the volume , we're all going to hell in a handcart , so you might as well let madonna drive. Wireless - He's So Proud Release Date: 2nd Jun 2008 Format: Single The Wireless are young and show signs of talent, hopefully they will find some originality though.
