		<description><![CDATA[[Album: The Kings Of Albany]
[Label: In At The Deep End Records]

Tortuga’s ‘Kings Of Albany’ is a short blast of noisy doom and post-hardcore. At 11 tracks and 30mins long, it&#8217;s certainly going to be more of the hardcore end than a barrage of 7min doom tracks. After listening to this album a couple of times [...]]]></description>

[Label: Wichita]

Greg Weeks, a sometime member of Espers, and not renowned for his sunny disposition, has rather outdone himself in the downbeat stakes with this latest solo release, &#8216;The Hive.&#8217; A heavy preponderance of minor chords and depression-addled lyrics are the main features here, naturally all set to a glacial tempo, producing a [...]]]></description>

[Label: Wichita]

Aside from boasting a remarkably unwieldy title, &#8216;XOXO, Panda And The New Kid Revival&#8217; is notable in another regard too. It finds Marc Bianchi ditching the laptop and various electronic trappings, that made his name, and instead scooping up an acoustic guitar. And, it would seem, toy [...]]]></description>

[Label: No Office Records]

For those fortunate enough to be unaware of Blackmarket, imagine a bargain basement Brendon Urie fronting Hard-Fi. Right, hold that horrific thought a moment, and then add to it a tiresome stream of lyrics that have all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face, as well [...]]]></description>

[Label: Impact Music]

The press release that accompanied this album states that Peter Brame&#8217;s favourite artists are The Beatles, The Verve, Ryan Adams and Cherry Ghost. It also states that he enjoys long walks, Smirnoff Ices with lager, holding hands and kicking leaves. I instantly decide that this is bound to be pretentious [...]]]></description>

[Label: Mama Bear Records]

The Paddingtons divide their time between the US and the UK, living and gigging in both countries. It has resulted in them adding to their fan base at such an enormous rate that they are planning on doing more gigs (and possibly song-writing) in the US in 2009. This [...]]]></description>

[Label: Napalm]

So, Viking metal eh? I have to say, I don’t get it. I’ve never heard of Roman grindcore or Gaul thrash, yet for some reason if you come from Norway and rip-off traditional folk songs, you’re a fully fledged Viking. By the same logic, if I play ‘Pop Goes The Weasel’ with some [...]]]></description>

[Label: Tiefdruck-Musik]

I bet there are some people out there that don&#8217;t think of the lord of the underworld as being such a generous fellow – let&#8217;s face it, he often gets a bit of a bad rap. Devil&#8217;s Gift are here to show us otherwise. Led by rock vixen Lennon Murphy collaborating with [...]]]></description>

Birmingham’s Computerclub are the latest in a long line of new bands who sound like they’ve come straight from the 80s. Originally conceived as a way for vocalist Paul Hampton and guitarist Jonathan Baker to escape the “tedious” and “cliché-ridden” bands they were in previously, support slots with [...]]]></description>

This French duo (formerly a trio, prior to the recording of this, their tenth album) formed in 1999. Quite the prolific musicians, it’s a wonder they’ve had time to push out ten albums, what with playing in various others’ backing bands (including Kimya Dawson of Moldy Peaches fame) [...]]]></description>

Euros Childs is still best known as the former front man of the horribly underrated Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, despite &#8216;Cheer Gone&#8217; representing the fourth in a string of excellent solo records. Whereas the slightly unhinged nature of his now defunct band saw them alternate wildly between Captain Beefheart inspired oddity and Beatles-esque [...]]]></description>

The Research have endured a rather chaotic two years since the release of their début album. &#8216;Breaking Up&#8217; was a particularly delicious slice of pop pie, yet it failed to prevent a violent storm engulfing the bands relationship with their record label, EMI.

Kemado’s penchant for the weird and wonderful continues with the fourth studio album by Swedish psychedelic band Dungen.
