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. On “Shade of Light” the guitars are very “Post/Punk” and I’m hearing a smidgeon of U2’s “I Will Follow” in the chords! The vocals are a nod toward Billie-Joe but that’s where the influences stop.

On new single “Voice of the Future” there’s an unmistakable nod in the direction of the Enemy with the vocal,all swagger and grit.

The headline news is this: Steel Panther genuinely rock. The crowd absolutely adores them – The Independant On Sunday.
Their polished second album is certainly a musical match for any of the hard rocking legends it affectionately spoofs – Classic Rock.
No one else, neither the legends nor the young pretenders ae making records as good as this – Metal Hammer.

Lower Lands consist of Benji (Guitar, vocals), Paul (Guitar, vocals), Jacob (Bass, vocals) and Sam (Drums, vocals).

Totem Bells is the debut album from Cambridge based band Twelve Clay Feet. The four piece is made up of twins Ian and Jay Jeffs (Lead vocals and guitar respectively), Ollie Porsa (Bass) and Bob Radford (Drums). The bands style of music has a very relaxed feel to it. It is very much geared up for radio play with an indie-pop-rock vibe. Singer Jay uses his husky rock friendly voice to good effect on tracks like Sarajevo Bombs and Sour Rum and the rest of the band are all accomplished musician’s but I thought that they could have given the songs a harder rock feel.

On a mild spring evening in Bournemouth we await the arrival of Chingford’s finest. But, first up are local act “Streebeck”. This 5 piece Bournemouth based band play a nice little brand of Country-tinged Indie. They open with a bouncy little number called “Spare A Thought” which is well received from a half full venue. The vocals are audible throughout while the overall sound is clean and crisp with a “Folky” beat in places.
