The Paddingtons – What’s The Point In Anything New?

October 20, 2008 Reviews, Single No Comments
This coarse, uncut indie punk with bleeding guitars continues Hull band The Paddingtons’ assault on the more rugged, uncompromisingly rhythmic musical palette. Tom Atkin’s new wave slanting vocals shows that the band haven’t been caught up in the glitz and glamour of celebrity hobnobbing - despite guitarist Joshua Hubbard’s relationship with Agyness Deyn.

Shame they split up really, as her vocals could have heightened the new wave spice of this new single. But then again, as this quintet proudly exclaims: “What’s The Point In Anything New?”

Stag and Dagger, Glasgow: Take Two

May 31, 2009

Glasgow has needed a festival like this for ages.

Sonic Youth – The Eternal

May 31, 2009

If anything, new album The Eternal is even more direct and straight-rocking than its predecessor: it’s what 1992’s Dirty might have sounded like without Butch Vig’s polished production.

Deerhunter – Rainwater Cassette Exchange EP

May 31, 2009

Varied, but not disjointed. Concise, but not half-formed.
