Youth Man – ‘Joy’ Review
by Tom Roden
Don’t let the Disco 2000-throwback mini-instrumentals at the start fool you, Youth Man’s new track ‘Joy’ is the type of white-hot angst track that would steam Jarvis Cocker’s glasses right up. Once the vocals come in, you know you’re in for two and a half minutes of punk intensity. Youth Man pull it off again with a track that throws out the ‘quiet verse, loud chorus’ approach in favour of doing the exact opposite for the most part. The last […]

Youth Man – ‘Youth’ EP Review
by Tom Roden
Six tracks and 15 minutes of concise post-punk energy makes for a very enjoyable and interesting listen. Youth Man‘s ‘Youth’ EP is definitely one to check out. The entire EP focuses around one simple philosophy: no-nonsense,, concise music with bitter vocals and powerful instrumentation. From the very first track, ‘Pretty Little Idiot’ (which is by far the worst track on the EP), this is evident. The band know exactly what they are doing and what they want from the EP. […]

Picks Of The Week 3
by Tom Roden
This week’s ‘Picks Of The Week’ is by far the most eclectic. With indie, reggae-folk, punk, urban-alternative and melodic metal, there’s something here for everybody. 1. Lament – Club Smith Genre: Indie Club Smith are your typical indie band, combining wonderful vocal harmonies with clean-cut guitars and a strong rhythm section. Although their track ‘No Friend Of Mine’ is a much more anthemic track, it is ‘Lament’ that encapsulates the band’s sound best: the atmospheric chorus; the powerful rhythm; the […]

The Bots – Live Review 4/11/12
by Tom Roden
The Bots are a special thing indeed. A pair of brothers in their teens coming over from the USA and taking Europe by storm by being the embodiment of punk? That is definitely something special. Tonight, The Bots have brought together some great new punk-rock bands to support them as they attempt to show Birmingham exactly why they have earned attention from bands such as Blur and Refused. And they do exceedingly well in doing so. First on the bill […]
