Gideon Conn – Take It All
2 June 2012 | aaamusicFor all the whimsical charm of Gideon Corr’s album ‘Take It All’, I just can’t get into it. It’s cute, the genre-hopping a style chameleon moments are admirable, but for all that it just feels disjointed and at best … Read More
Terry Emm – Sarah
2 June 2012 | aaamusic
‘Sarah’ is one of those songs that I wish I’d heard in album context. Terry Emm’s voice is emotive, and the sombre yet oh-so-tender folk instrumentation (softly fingerpicked acoustic guitars and a smooth, mournful accordion) does its absolute best to … Read More
Guns Or Knives – Can’t Beat Him, Can’t Join Him
2 June 2012 | aaamusic‘Can’t Beat Him, Can’t Join Him’ maybe a singer-songwriter folk record, but it ain’t exactly easy listening. Guns or Knives is the solo project of London-based Stef Ketteringham, a guitarist/vocalist for the raucous alt-rock/post-hardcore mob Shield Your Eyes – … Read More

Testament – Dark roots of earth
2 June 2012 | aaamusicAnother storming Testament! Chuck Billy and the boys have returned with an awesome follow up to 2008’s amazing “The Formation of Damnation”. With that last album being their first recording with their reformed classic line-up (drummer aside) there was a sense … Read More
Man Without Country – Foe
2 June 2012 | aaamusicFor most people the bedroom is a place to sleep and generally unwind. For Tomas Greenhalf of ‘Man Without Country’, however, the bedroom is the perfect place to produce an album. ‘Foe’, the debut album of the Welsh duo … Read More
Wiselines – Callin Out
28 May 2012 | aaamusicGreece may be struggling financially and economically but it is becoming an increasingly interesting place for new music. It is in fact from Athens that Wiselines come from. Ted Sourvinos, Anthony Georgou Niki Papagiani, joined recently by George Stasinopoulos … Read More
Dana Jade – Dana Jade
28 May 2012 | aaamusicA rather simplistic and old-fashioned rock album, Dana jade’s eponymous debut record isn’t terrible, but doesn’t really stand out from the crowd enough to stamp a place in the memory. Take opening track Eyes Like Cinder; it has some … Read More
Kidda – Get Close
28 May 2012 | aaamusicThis is a very likeable electro single from Kidda. Lively and chaotic – but in a good way – he understands how to juxtapose and combine different textures, and how to play around with riffs and employ vivid sound … Read More
SONNY LANDRETH – Elemental Journey
27 May 2012 | aaamusicSonny Landreth is an American blues musician and songwriter from Louisiana, well known for his brilliant slide guitar playing. His 11th solo album, Elemental Journey, is his first all instrumental one with strong themes which inspire imagery. It’s released … Read More
