Asian Dub Foundation - Punkara - Album Review

 

Asian Dub Foundation have been bubbling under the surface and are now back with their latest release Punkara.

This album is just as vocal to social issues and the continuing fight against injustices, which songs like Target Practice, Superpower, and Altered Statesmen says it all in itself.

Asian Dub Foundation name speaks for itself usinf sub-continent Asian music mixed with punk driven guitars, dub, pop, and this time reggae beats.

One surprise is Iggy Pop making a guest appearance on one of his songs No Fun!

Havana Rocks - Star - EP

 Frank Moulinex

Havana Rocks don't do Cuban, but if you require straight hard driving no nonsense rock music then these guys will fulfil your wishes and desires, and excuse me, with no disappointments. 

This 4 track Star - EP release begins life with Star, 'Wanna be one of those Rock 'n' Roll Star's' and with their sound you can see and hear them filling the stadiums of rock around the world.

Having a dig at the masses in, All You People, hey, why don't all the good people jump over to this side of the tracks.

Need revving and burning rubber, women, and living fast, ending up switching the switch of life now that's unfortunate and then last of all, Same Old, but on a different day, especially when it comes to ladies!

TJR - Another Roll of the Dice - Album Review

 Dylan Thompson

TJR offerings is called Another Roll of the Dice, and its stylish and well-polished, nice on the ears rock 'n' roll, in other words very professional offerings, and has no leftovers. 

Well let's start with a dig at MTV giants with Peace Love and Don't Trust MTV give you the gripe with MTV's dominance in broadcasting music videos.

In all the songs there is humour with nibbling's of upbeat and updated blues in One Summer Morning. 

Hey Ya, is a schmoozing cover version of the hip-hop original and it's warm, harmonious, and great lead guitar work cuts the groove. Baby Please, Blue, and Home to Me is all about women and either losing or wanting a return to the man of dreams?

Jesus Loves You is well crafted and it's a different take on religious speak. Getting down to a dirty rock sound with Lil' Miss Thang.

Getting to the end is the operatic spacious rock road-trip shall we 'return home' and then Bare empties the cupboard with a congo percussive backbone and deep bass and interesting sounds from the guitars gets you movin' and then a drivin' drumbeat gets the heart pumpin'.

Then the funkiness of the last song No One Makes the Sunshine, but I'm sure they do in Santa Fe! Becasue TJR make it on my ears and yours as well if you listen!

Eisenhower Field Day - Tyrants and Spies - Album Review

Eisenhower Field Day’s new album Tyrants and Spies is a nice blend of indie rock-pop, but brighter than being in the underground, so hopefully Eisenhower Field Day may finally come next year, let’s hope so as their music is captivating, clever and very entertaining indeed! Despite only being three of them to take on the world!

Defy The Ocean - Myopic - EP Review

Defy the Ocean has released another EP called Myopic.

The music is a combination of fast thrash like in Neolithic or the slowish doomsayer groove in Invaders.

The last two songs The Hunter has a loose and mis-stepped beats structure, while The Tide has a nice mellow introduction and is probably the lead track on the EP, considering it is just over ten minutes long.

Myopic is available @ Bandcamp

Leap Frog Town - Seven - Music Video
