Comic Book – Talen
2 January 2011 | aaamusicOnce again, I have to plead ignorance here: I know precious little, if anything at all, about the recently-emerged dubstep scene, and so my approach to ‘Comic Book’ by Talen is my outsider view as opposed to an expert … Read More
Elliot Minor – Solaris Acoustic
2 January 2011 | aaamusic
Yes, yes, let’s get this out the way first: Elliot Minor are a teen girl orientated band of the kind that develops rabid and “misunderstood” fanbases aged between 13 and 19 who agonise over how their weddings to the … Read More

Various Artists – Kitsuné Maison 10: The Firework Issue
15 December 2010 | aaamusic

Lyrics Born – As U Were
12 December 2010 | aaamusic

Escape The Fate – Escape The Fate
12 December 2010 | aaamusic

Incarnations – With All Due Respect
12 December 2010 | aaamusic
So irony upon ironies, the single most summery album of the year comes out in a nigh on Siberian December. Which leaves it’s obvious ambition to be the soundtrack to some young, attractive indie godhead’s summer kind … Read More
Christmas Gift – Various Artists
8 December 2010 | aaamusicOk I have to admit it, I don’t like Christmas, so the idea to review a Xmas compilation didn’t make me jump for joy, but I liked the Rainboot idea. In fact the label decided to get together bands … Read More
