Veruca Salt – Into our arms

Nina and Louise are fond of sweet things. Before the interview can start, the manager is sent away to buy some candy. When I enter the room, Nina and Louise lie in each others arms, cuddling. Should this be a hint towards their new CD „Eight Arms To Hold You“? This new record sounds a…

Gallon Drunk – Tension and Melody

Gallon Drunk’s last effort, „In The Long Still Night“ came quite as a surprise. Whereas Gallon Drunk’s earlier recordings were more in the line of Jon Spencer’s swamp-blues-explosions than your average B**tpop-experience. However, on „Night“ all that seems to change. Suddenly there’s subtlety and melody – not that the energy is lost. What exactly did…

Bis – Fun

Who are Bis? What are Bis? Questions which seem to be of only relative importance to the members of everyone’s favourite flavour of the month.

dEUS – Reaction

You can never be sure what to expect from dEUS. After their first CD „Worst Case Scenario“ they came up with a strange collage called „My Sister My Clock“ – noises and fragments, all blended together by snippets of movie-soundtracks. Intense stuff, but hardly enjoyable. The next EP „Theme From Turnpike“ seemed to go in…

Kula Shaker – K-Stuff

KULA SHAKER are one of Britain’s hottest acts of the moment. Rightfully so, because their live act is superb, their music (or should one say: influences) genuinely original and they emit that kind of heartfelt enthusiasm for their doing that sets them apart from your usual copycat-theorist-hip-and-away band. However, there are some things, which ask…
