March 26, 2012 By
Having released their new single in February, ‘All I Know’, the band is starting to get some fuzzy attention. We first caught a glimpse of Shields last year at a slightly disappointing rendition of London Calling last November. The slight disappointment had nothing to do with Shields, they were in our eyes the best band… [Continue Reading]

The Norwegian punk/rockband Honningbarna was our favorite act at Eurosonic, less than three weeks ago.

Iceage: Beaten By Honey Kids And A Red Negro
January 16, 2012 By
The most hyped act of last week’s edition of Eurosonic must have been the Danish punk-rock quartet of Iceage. Fridaynight, at 1:15, they were the closing act in Groninger rock temple Vera. During their US tour the angry youths build up a reputation as a provoking live act, whose shows regularly end in mayhem. Indiefuzz… [Continue Reading]

A chance to settle with Lloyd Cole in the Amstelkerk, March 15th 2012
December 9, 2011 By
In my review of the Lloyd Cole Small Ensemble’s performance last April at People’s Place I speculated about the artist having a difficult relationship with Amsterdam and quoted some of the People’s staff commenting on Lloyd’s moody disposition before the gig. The result is that I managed to get one of my long time musical… [Continue Reading]
George Michael’s Symphonic covers pt. II: New Order

In this Internet(-piracy) age, few formats have become more redundant than the compilation album. In a world where everyone can download everything ever recorded by every band and create their own personalized playlist, the term ‘Best of’ no longer has a universal meaning. So to keep the format interesting, what you see is that record… [Continue Reading]
