“Music ain’t like wot it used to be back in the 70s”
say some boring old farts, but here’s proof that it’s pretty much just exactly the
same as it used to be back in the 70s. Step forward Wolf People with this
rather awesome piece of post rock folk, All Returns (out 15th April).
Majestic. Can someone bring ‘em to Birmingham soon please? Ta! Eh...hang
on...they’re coming! This Is Tmrw just booked ‘em for a gig in May! Whoop!
Okay, this is one of those ‘we’re not going to
reveal our identity’ kind of things. Colour Of Bone (could be a person, could
be a band, could be a weird cult with pointy hats and sixteen wives for every
chap...could be The Alarm...) may be hiding behind silhouettes at the moment
but one thing’s certain, his/their particular brand of fuzzy pop rock is pretty
addictive. Oh...hang on again, just
found out it’s some dude called Sam Stockman, an actor who’s in something
called Whitechapel on something called ITV?!
Honestly, you just can’t keep a secret nowadays can you eh?
This is real good. Me, You and Thomas are a two
piece from Brizzle who specialise in raw, fuzzy indie rock. The lead singer’s
got a vaguely folky / shoegazey feel to her voice which neatly juts up against
the battered drums n’ geeetttar. This single’s out on Howling Owl Records on 8th
April and there are just 50 copies. Blimey. If they’d like to send me one I
promise to walk up and down the streets playing it to random strangers.
When Edwyn Collins’ brain exploded (or, to be more
technically accurate, when he suffered a double cerebral haemorrhage) back in
2005 it seemed pretty certain that he’d not last more than a few days. When he
did it seemed equally certain that he’d never walk or talk again, let alone
write and perform stuff. Miraculously though, he is. And it’s right up there
with some of his best releases too. Blimey. Ed wins...
