I was not sure what I was about to listen to. I first heard Monkeys Uncle live at the Dorset Music Awards (Second Heat), with […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

EP: “Mechanical Hearts” by This Fall

on February 20th, 2012 at 22:33
Posted In: CD, Reviews, George

Personally, “Mechanical Hearts” has probably been my most anticipated EP/Album to date, as previous recordings and live shows have dictated that Weymouth based post hardcore five piece; This Fall are headed for big things this year.
