I am in the minority and caught The Prodigy on a really bad day, going as far as saying they made fools of themselves... but you cannot deny the music, it was immense right from the start, trailblazers.
RIP Keith Flint, a massive loss to music and especially his genre of music

Mozermilk are French ambient groovers who's latest release TWISTED TURNS introduces a series of random obscure monologues set to laid back beats and hypnotic bass. The tracks are short and seem to merge into each other, this creates the effect of a neverending track which is never less than mesmerising and at times baffling.
It's fine fodder from an excellent band.
If you have the inclination step back in time and dig out Earthly Ecstacy you will not be disappointed.
Finally a big thank you from me for sending me your music. I am honoured and apologise for the delay in writing this post.
Much love from Manchester England

-THE PEER HAT, MANCHESTER- Thee Windom Earles In the congested, oddly lit confines we all know as the Peer Hat basement, a band that evidently borrows from the 1950s emerges… albeit with a more spirited approach to guitar playing and drumming that probably wouldn’t have existed in that particula...

I would love to have the capacity to bring bands from Europe to play in England (well beyond Londumb)
I would also love to be able to distribute European bands music, for a reasonable cost
There are some truly amazing bands in Scandinavia, France, Germany and Italy that are just not heard enough

Tangerinecat Many Kettles

29/11/2018

Tangerinecat Many Kettles
This is a beautiful and brutal album, emotionally reminiscent of Idles recently released Joy as an Act of Resistance. At times it’s almost too painful to listen to but a la the bands live performance, it is hypnotic and lures you in.
Its tales of monstrous acts of cruelty and abuse, of physical and mental anguish and of bigotry, oppression and short-sightedness could drive some away, if you are one of the ones it drives away, you are losing yourself, come back, listen and learn, be a person.
Musically, it’s a wonder, the duo share the electro beats, Paul gives us pipes and spoken word while Eugene provides Hurdy Gurdy lyrics and vocals … it’s a toxic combination, it works and with some style.
I wanted to keep this short because frankly my writing cannot match what I have seen written about the Band and their music.
I love this album and was hypnotised by their live work, if you ever want to meander somewhere left field then start here, the journey is fulfilling and worth your precious time.

12/11/2018

This is a stunning album, its vast beautiful and painful all at once.
I will write a proper review even though my lack of writing talent will not do it justice.
Where do I start☹

Bones Shake The Maitlands live last night. Both amazing live, Maitlands bring a touch of interpol, clash libertines and possibly even a bit of strokes thrown in. Wasnt let down, great live band with a fierce groove.

Bones Shake are different animal, it was them that set the moors of Saddleworth alight again last night, all riff n snarl, they were as ever superb.

Would def go see maitlands again and bones shake, well cant help myself
One last mention to Will Falkiner Great sound from a pigs ear of a PA, miracle man
