Wedgwood Rooms, Portsmouth On a thoroughly blustery, rainy Sunday we arrive just in time to catch the first band on tonight’s bill. Simply named “Me” these Aussie Retro-Rockers take to the stage.

Posted In: CD, Reviews, Ross

Union is the first single to be lifted from the self-titled album by London/Melbourne Punks ‘The Terraces’. With a moniker like that one is immediately drawn to memories of late 70’s Britain. Former One Way System singer Gary Buckley (vox) has a distinct vocal style with echoes of one J. Strummer.

Posted In: CD, Reviews, Ross

Local female-fronted Pop-Punkers Veetacore have got a new 5 Track EP out called “The Settling” and its really rather good! On opener “Sliced Waters” there’s a simple beat throughout the song with a clever little synth section accompanying the “electro” drum sound. The highest compliment I can pay singer Becky is that her vocal reminds […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Sabres is a new 3 Track EP, a forth-coming taster for their new album. Bournemouth Punk/Rock outfit The Sabres have a new EP out which has fallen into the hands of Rock Regeneration for review.

Portsmouth Pyramid Centre It’s a near sell-out crowd in the Pyramids tonight as we await the arrival of Guilford’s finest. But first up are friends of the headliners Mike Marlin. This is a band with its influence mainly steeped in the 80’s. The vocals (to this reviewer) bear a slight resemblance to Ricky Ross while […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
