Back to the Eighties
November 25th, 2006
Anyone who thinks the seaside is all about days out and cheesy smiles needs to check out The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Brighton’s most terrifying gothic-rockabilly band.
Eighties first appeared in 2002 with the Horse Of The Dog album. Clocking in at just 28 minutes the record is a blast through the young punks’ limited but […]

November 15th, 2006

subtrac flying the dubstep flag
November 10th, 2006
nice lean site peddling that dubstep vibe. the english hype machine seem to have got behind this grime offshoot which means its icarus-like flight on those shores will probably last about 3 months. doesn’t mean it ain’t good though, and like much electronica before, it may take a bunch of north american kids to keep […]
japanese beatles refits
November 10th, 2006
sounds like he’s just walked off a bollywood stage, but the wonderful moglah carries on in a vein that the japanese have tapped and split wide open. take an old classic, beats of an old casio organ and plant your tongue firmly in your cheek. what comes out? entrancing multicultural pop music.
take a listen to […]
the man the myth
November 9th, 2006
with an ear-bendingly good taste in music, we are pleased to have the original emo-kid grace the pages of popround.
