The last ‘Fifie’ herring drifter built in Shetland, in 1900, restored in the 1990s, heading North through Yell Sound towards the open sea. Skipper: Magnie Sinclair Thanks to David Simpson (friend of the family and one of the passengers) who brought this YouTube video to our attention.
This made me laugh! I like this band anyway, but if you haven’t seen this or even heard of these guys, check ‘em out!
Joe Satriani, Chad Smith, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar are Chickenfoot! I must say that this is one musical collaboration that you should definitely have in your collection unless of course you’re a dance muso in which case a guitarist, bassist and drummer don’t apply! Anyway, it’s brilliant. So, head on over to your record [...]
One year later and another album from the fine hardcore punk band Gallows! I listened to it this morning on my daily mile and a half stroll to work, howling wind, thoughts of polytunnel flying past! Well, it’s another awesome piece of work, seems like a fuller sound but still has the rawness of Orchestra [...]
Another brilliant studio album from Karen O, Nick and Brian. It is somewhat different to what they have released before and perhaps some hardcore YYY fans may dislike the change of style. However, there are some very distinctive (favourite) tracks and I think it’s a superb album that takes more than one listen to fully [...]
A bunch of lads from Oldham, Manchester with a high energy sound and a lyrical content to keep your ears finely attuned. Again, this was the iTunes Single of the Week and yes I went and purchased the album based on what I heard, I have not been disappointed. So, if you want a good [...]
The iTunes Single of the Week (I Know What I Am) was by this band, I enjoyed the freebie so much that I decided to buy the album. Musically, this album is a breath of fresh air – a three piece with a female bassist (cool). I haven’t yet sickened myself of it and I [...]
The mighty metallers from Des Moines, Iowa are back with All Hope is Gone and what an album! I could well be wrong in saying that this album has some of their finest work to date, but I’ll say it anyway! Awesome… perhaps another to join the ranks with Death Magnetic on The International Day [...]
The moment has arrived… I know I mentioned earlier in this blog that The Gallows – Orchestra of Wolves was up there as a possible album of the year, I lied! This is the album of the year with a seriously cool CD booklet. ‘tallica rock! Nothing new there, but this album really does boot [...]
Brilliant! This was recommended to me by someone who knows my taste in music very well… (thanks dude!) I think it may be the album of the year for me so far, it’s awesome! Plenty of guitars, bass sound to die for, the production reminds me of the Dead Kennedys and for all you Ruts [...]
