Where do you start with a band whose name is also a quote in a Sam Raimi film, and then use a little bit of George A Romero inspired imagery? At the beginning that’s where!

The Winchester Pub, Bournemouth
A brand new local team of promoters by the name of H.A.M made up of students from Bournemouth University have recently got together in bringing a new refreshing live music night to some of the areas best venues. The first night is a The Winchester Pub in Bournemouth with a mouth watering line up of bands that pull in a sizeable crowd even on a Wednesday night. The team have brought together Silver Suns, Wild Fire, Vlad and Mutant Vinyl. Sadly due to other commitments I only made it here for Vlad the headliners.

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 speak is brave, especially 20 tracks.

The first thing you need to know about Midday Committee is that they are “hard working”, as the four piece pop punk band from Portsmouth have gained a hearty following after a mere year and a half as a band. Their first EP “Nice Kids, Bad Judge of Character!” will definitely be named as a reason behind their quick success, as a collection of promising hard edged pop punk tunes beckoned this band to greater things. This time round, the band have gone all out to ensure their EP upholds the quality of their song writing.

Of all of the bands gigging around Bournemouth at the moment, one of the best and one that has bags of potential is the Hard/Southern Rock outfit called Western Sand. Not only are they an extremely likeable bunch but they produce some kick ass classic rock riffage and put on a killer live show!

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.

Wow, having been listening to a ton of Doom Metal recently its mega refreshing to have an album like this land on my desk. Sanguine are a female fronted four-piece from the Southwest and are currently kicking up a ruckus on the UK music scene. Having had a slot on the Jagermeister stage at this year’s Download and a support with the mighty Megadeth, things are really starting to take off for them.

Bournemouth International Centre
It would be a fairly valid comment to say that tonight’s show at the BIC has been the most anticipated event Bournemouth will see this year. As I approached the venue it was obvious who’s in town; pop punk pioneers and worldwide icons, Blink 182. As the queue to enter the Windsor Hall loops round every possible pillar and stairway, a plethora of smiles and excited glances provokes an undeniable buzz before any music has even started.

It seems as though my immune system has failed me. Bedridden for the second time in a week, and I’m not enjoying it.
I’ve tried sleep, food, water and antibiotics, and yet I’m still feeling awful… although I may be over exaggerating to my family, somehow it’s a bit far fetched that I have ebola crossed with TB and dysentery.
However, in the meantime, I’ve found a way of soothing my pain. The Blues Machine.
