Bands
Danny
Saul - Our own Guitar god making a world of cosy singer-songwriters
quake with out and out superiority. Long fingers and a dark vision
= filthily brilliant songs.
Happy
Fucking Birthday - Martin Giri hooks up with some new allies
in sound and makes short tuneful eruptions of sick, catchy rock.
Sonar
Yen - Long live the mighty Yen. From epic majestic darkness
to genius short melodic blows to the face. You will never see
them live again. Damn. But they have split into various new quality
projects - which will all belinked when there are sites. In the
meantime go get a copy of their album, their ep, our ep etc. You
have to.
Jackie
O - Filthy ambassadors of hyper-trashy SEX ROCK.
LoneLady
- Master of all arts dragging post-punk telecasterism into the
future and yanking heartstrings with a beautiful violence.

sonic brilliance.
Nursing
Home - Exuberant dreamy noise from boys on a quest for perfect
sounds forever
Fi-Lo Radio - Hook-laden blasts
of righteously rockin' chuggy grimy noise: alas gone for good.
Seek out their singles.

catalogue and weep for what you missed.
Valerie

inevitably gets covered in it.
Polythene

Because they're hard.
Flamingo
50 - The ultimate in hook-stuffed raw punk short sharp blasts
of shit hot.
Desolation
Angels - Haunting adventures into bleak and beauty. Have now
finally got their wings, but there are solo rumblings in the firmament...

specialist - forgets you owe him money.
Black
Fiction - Loud, raw, sexy and literally dangerous - these
degenerates have got the punk game sussed-er than anyone.

sick-as-fuckly structured barrages of angelically abrasive noise.
Another buncha geni-i that are defunct Singer Jay is keeping it
fucking wierd with Say

from a murky machine of grind and groove - Bristol made a monster,
let it suck your face off.

letting rip with precision blasts of filth - dirtyclean riffs
chiselled from the pulsing core of Rock.

deviant psycho-jerky sensibilities.

Star and Garter - The punkest dingebucket uncondemned. Go
wallow!
The
Roadhouse - Grimy in a more rock n' roll way.
