There’s some good retro sounding blues rock floating around at the moment, and Pet The Preacher with their first release on Napalm Records ‘The Cave and The Sunlight’ have added an excellent contribution to this resurging genre. However, far… Continue Reading →
Cards on the table; despite advancing years and over 3 decades of gig going, I am more then capable of acting like an utter twat at a show. One such occasion was in 2011 when at the once inevitable Orange… Continue Reading →
Agh it’s bitten me I’m going to die? Ah well that’s handy as the band’s name means “to die” but I’m far too young for that, having been fanged by some horrid creature this band put in with their CD…. Continue Reading →
Who would’ve thought when I woke up this morning that I’d end the day addicted to blackened d-beat crust. Christ, I didn’t even know what that was until lunch time. So here I am with a copy of Nux Vomica… Continue Reading →
