CD: “Soundtrack To The End Of The World” by The Duel

on August 29th, 2012 at 20:09
Posted In: CD, Reviews, Ross

The prelude to this LP is a 42 minute track incorporating all the songs on the LP with some interesting dialogue. You could argue that this is a concept album on listening to this track, but the Zak Splash Story is a humourous account of life from a “bygone” era. Whether Zak Splash is a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

On The Rocks, Bournemouth On a balmy night I’m here at a new venue (to me) to witness the debut performance by local “experimentalists” Electromud. On The Rocks has a healthy gathering of friends and new fans alike in attendance this evening. I already know this is going to be a great gig when I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Skeleton Kid/Voice Of Reason/Agatha’s Garden/Monty

Posted In: Gigs, Reviews, Ross

Sound Circus, Bournemouth 10th Due to a hectic day moving house I have missed tonight’s openers Monty, who I’m reliably informed gave a decent account of themseves despite some “technical issues”! Agatha’s Garden take to the stage with little fuss & delve straight into their set of mostly original material. They open with “Tower of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: CD, Reviews, Ross

Adam Scholey – Former Sonority of a Home Studio 2005-2012 album Review When this 20 track “compendium” came my way I decided to give it a good few listens, knowing Adam as I do from local luminaries Damnation Alley, and more recently the frankly underrated Voice of Reason. Putting your material “out there” so to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Ataraxis Vibration EP review

on July 8th, 2012 at 14:00
Posted In: CD, Reviews, Ross

The debut EP by interestingly named Bath Rockers Ataraxis Vibration has fallen into the hands of Rock Regeneration-so what do we think? Opening with “Nothing Lasts Forever” is a good start (to this reviewer), as it doesn’t pack the obvious “Hendrix-isms” of other songs on here.

CD: “Trolleys Thank You” by Wonk Unit

on June 25th, 2012 at 21:43
Posted In: CD, Reviews, Ross

Croydon/London’s Wonk Unit open their LP with “Guts”, a song with a nasal vocal delivery, not unlike (to this reviewer) Graham Coxon. The cymbal-led and heavy drum intro is different, along with the shouty backing vocals. The end is in my opinion overlong but its a decent opener. Where they get a working title of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: CD, Reviews, Ross

Fall To The Floor is the debut offering from Bournemouth-based Indie Rockers The Frequency. After the success of debut single “High Society” its time to see if these boys have heightened the trajectory they’re aiming for. And on first listen they are. The LP opens with “New York Symphony”, a song inspired by singer Austyn’s […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Old Fire Station, Bournemouth On a muggy Wednesday evening I arrive early to catch the 2 supports for ska/punks finest Less Than Jake. Enter on stage the somewhat youthful two-piece that is The Bots. Brothers Mikaiah and Anaiah take to the stage with minimal fuss before opening their set in a slightly nervous manner.

NOFX/UK Subs/Margate

Posted In: Gigs, Reviews, Ross

O2 Academy, Bournemouth It’s the Queens Jubilee so what better way to spend the evening listening to 3 Punk bands. First up are recent recruits to the NOFX stable Margate. Margate are an American 3 piece Punk band who cite some diverse influences. To this reviewer theres a definite nod towards Blink 182, especially with […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
