This song has been released over and over and over again for the last ten years by a whole ream of bands who all sound exactly like this. New Found Glory wrote ‘My Friends Over You’, then Bowling For Soup wrote ‘Girl all the Bad Guys Want’ and then Sum 41 wrote ‘Fat Lip’ and then all of a sudden every snotty kid in America just had to be in an angsty pop-punk band. Well, that’s what we called it back then; except the only thing “punk” about this is that you start to hope that Ashton Kutcher is about to pop out from behind your wardrobe with a camera crew telling you it’s all a joke.

There’s every chance you’ve never heard of Little Barrie yet so it’s easy to assume this is a debut album. However, ‘King Of The Waves’ is actually their third and it’s their best yet.

It may be known by most as 'the mars advert song', but 'Make it Better' is so much more than just an ad backing track. This three and a half minute acoustic beauty is warming, original and just 100% adorable.

Personally, one of the most interesting ways to discover the true workings of a band is to watch a DVD of theirs without any preconceived notions of the band in question. With this in mind, The Answer’s ‘412 Days of Rock ‘n’ Roll’ can be considered my crash course 1.01 for the hard-rock foursome and, in turn, a DVD that turned out to be pretty enjoyable.

Call him what you will: the Godfather of Heavy Metal, the Prince of Darkness, that crazy guy who famously bit the head off a bat... the point is, regardless of the title of you choose to place upon Ozzy Osbourne, the man is legendary in his own right. Longstanding in the rock community, the Black Sabbath frontman is considered to be one of the pioneers of heavy metal. It is now, 30 years on from his first real solo efforts, that the feat is truly being celebrated.
