Film Review - The Darkest Hour (in 3D)
I honestly thought a film about invisible aliens invading Moscow sounded quite fun.
I was so very, very wrong.

Album Review: Dead Wolf Situation by Hysterical Injury
Dead Wolf Situation is the debut album by Hysterical Injury. This is a drum and a bass, but it isn't Drum & Base. Described as Rock Noise, but the vocals are melodic. The album is so different from the music I usually listen to I had to run through the whole thing three times just to form an opinion. The sound is raw, sometimes rough around the edges. The tracks have an untampered, feel that makes me think a live performance wouldn't be so very different. To give you a flavour of what Hysterical Injury are all about, have a listen to their free download track Maths here http://bit.ly/himaths.
Single Review: Lana Del Rey - 'Born To Die'
“The title-track for her forthcoming album is almost formulaically a dizygotic twin of ‘Video Games’”

Skins- A disappointing start? (Spoilers)
Skins are back for series 6 with the gang we learnt to love in series 5. The first episode, which has been available since last Monday on 40D, will be shown this week. Will this series be any good?

Degrees are in the studio again
They've been going a good few months now and have produced a three track single and some superb live performances, including one at the Colchester Arts Centre in late 2011.
I was at Degrees' first gig last Halloween when Alex drummed whilst covered in fake blood and Patrick had the real life horror situation of having to sing with flu and half a voice. Luckily it was the tuneful, if raspy half, and the performance went down a storm. Since then they've played in and around Chelmsford, most recently on Friday the 13th of this month at Hooga with Missing Andy. They also guested at Point Blank when Gary Powell of the Libertines headlined.

Single Review: Florence + the Machine - 'No Light, No Light'
“‘No Light, No Light’ commands every iota of attention as her infrequently-heard softer tones explode triumphantly into a full-throated siren’s call”

Film Review - W.E.
I'm a big fan of Madonna's. More for her music than her film career, but if anybody is going to see the good in a film she's co-written and directed, it's me.
Oh dear, then.
