Mainly Rock

I guess ever since Lovey, The Lemonheads have been very much a vehicle for Evan Dando’s solo work, with ever changing line-ups. So after his “solo”-album in 2003, he will release a Lemonheads album later this year. The line-up seems to be the same that I saw play It’s a shame about Ray for the [...]

Seems like Primal Scream have left their techno phase behind them, you can watch the video to their new single here. Ever since the album Give Out But Don’t Give Up everyone was aware of the influence that the Rolling Stones must have had on Bobby Gillespies, over 10 years later it seems to [...]

The French Rock magazine Rock & Folk elected this album as the album of the month two months ago and had a 6 page article on the band in the same issue. At that time the album was only available as an import in France…

I had read a bit about We Are Scientists in different parts of the Internets before, but I really discovered them as the opening act for The Kaiser Chiefs at the Bataclan here in Paris. I am not saying that they were better than the main act (which would have been hard to do) but [...]

The Minus 5 attracted my attention by their last album Down With Wilco. The music is kind of timeless pop, with a heavy Beatles influence, although I don’t know any Beatles album, which is as “Beatles-Sounding” as some of the albums carrying that label.

The Gun Album (it doesn’t really have a name), continues with sweet [...]

Robert Pollard probably is an Indie-Rock genius. The problem with a genius is, that he is often not understood by the people of his time. What I am trying to say, is that I am truly fascinated by Robert Pollard and Guided By Voices, but somehow I am not sure I ever really got the [...]
