Listening to PS I Love You's debut album, 'Meet Me at the Muster Station', you'd be easily fooled into thinking you're listening to a four or five piece band. It came as a surprise to me then, to learn that this 'band' consists of only two people. I felt I needed to go and see PS I Love You in action, so when The Great Escape festival brought them to Brighton, I found myself inches away from a sweaty frontman Paul Saulnier and drummer Benjamin Nelson. What was intended to be an outlet for Saulnier's experimental pop songs - using loop pedals and synthesizers - was transformed in to an exciting experimental garage rock band with the addition of drummer Nelson and some seriously anthemic songs.

'Megalithic Symphony' is the forthcoming album from AWOLNATION solo project from Aaron Bruno, formerly of Under the Influence of Giants. The bumf that came with the review C.D. states the album is "sent from the future", unless it's regarding the time change I disagree. It is very on tap with now and of it's time, which is the present day don't you know.

“The people we used to be are dead to you and me”
If you’re looking for pure, unbridled ferocity then Heights’ debut record is the place to come. It is rare for completely unrestrained anger to sound as utterly fantastic as this full-length from the Welwyn Garden City quintet. Having released the barnstorming, and freely available, EP 'The Land, The Ocean, The Distance' in 2009, Heights found themselves attracting the attention of hardcore enthusiasts up and down the country. The youngsters have quickly risen through seemingly constant touring and, in particular, festival slots afforded them by participation in the Red Bull Bedroom Jam competition last year. Having attracted attention from punters, the band then attracted the attention of the Mediaskare label and so 'Dead Ends' arrives as the product of Britain’s most promising signed hardcore band.

The last year or so has been an arduous road for Chicagoan foursome Madina Lake. In an act that even caused the toughest of metal-heads to tip their hat in respect, the band’s bassist Matthew risked his life to protect an innocent stranger. Since then the band has pushed forward through his recovery, touring the UK last year with pre-recorded bass before heading home to work on their new album as a solid unit.

Kissy Sell Out’s new album is classic camp electro. Half a decade ago Wild Romance’s sound would have complimented sound systems on dance floors across the country. Today however, the most fitting output is through a mobile phone on the back of the 388 bus to Hackney.
