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.

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.

Joe Satriani - Professor Satchafunkilus And The Musterion Of Rock

Release Date: 31st Mar 2008
Format: Album

In the long and dodgy history of criminal album titles 'Professor Funkilus' is up there with 'Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water' and 'Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness' as outstanding examples of literary rock diarrhoea. Fortunately Joe more than compensates for grammatical crimes against humanity with this spanking new collection of uber guitar wizardry.

Kayo Dot - Blue Lambency Downward

Release Date: 5th May 2008
Format: Album

Trying to find somebody out there in the real world who has heard of Toby Driver and his various musical projects seems to be as impossible a task as finding any of his band's albums on sale in record stores, but Kayo Dot happen to have a huge underground following and seem to be a much discussed and praised band across the internet.

Hayman, Watkins, Trout And Lee - Hayman, Watkins, Trout And Lee

Release Date: 6th May 2008
Format: Album

East London Bluegrass, isn't quite as bad as you'd expect

Dream Theater - Greatest Hit... And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs
