THE 241ERS - Murderers: The 241ers is a band made up of members from the Filaments, Stockyard Stoics and MDC. Not only that but members from other bands including the Hold Steady also make appearances on this ten track debut album. The 241ers play their own brand of 'Acoustic Political Punk Rock' and they take their influences from the likes of early Billy Bragg, The Clash, Against Me and Stiff Little Fingers. I have to say this is great release both lyrically and musically and was almost my album of the month. Is it really that good? Yes it is and anyone into Punk Rock would be a nutter to pass up this release. There's songs about Police Brutality and the fascist BNP but the lyrics are well written by people with a bit of suss. They also have a sense of humour too! Check out one of the numbers 'Ronnie Goes To Heaven' which is a theatrical dialogue between Ronald Reagan and the Devil during his descent into hell! Great Stuff. This comes well produced, neatly packaged and all I can say now if you're pissed off with what goes on around you then this album is for you! 9.5/10

ADAM WEST - Extra Sexual Perception: I haven't heard anything by this 60's Garage Punk band since their debut album so having this drop through the letter box was as cool as fuck! Formed in the late 90's in DC this band seem to have been at it for ever and it's a shame this release will be their last every recording. What a recording it is too! There's twelve kick ass Garage Punk tunes on this recording and some of the tracks you really need to check out include 'Stag Party', 'Make A Beeline', 'I already Fucked You…In The Future' and 'When Girls Collide'. Jake Starr and Co really do give you some great Garage Punk numbers here and any fan of this style of raw Punk Rock N Roll will be having orgasms over this one. You best buy it then take it home and play the fucker loud while downing a bottle of JD. It's the best way and only way to enjoy this album. 9/10

ANN WEST – Confidante Sampler: The full album hasn't been released to the music press but Charmed Records have sent out this wicked five track sample to give us all a taster of what is come. If the rest of the album is like these five tracks I have in front of me then you'll be in for one hell of a great Pop album. For me 'I Missed It Again' (Ann's Current Single) and 'Sebastian' really do so much for me as Anne West's vocals are fantastic and the musicians really do themselves justice. and 'Writing On The Wall' and 'I Believe In Me' were of very high quality too and fit in so well. 'Ibiza' was the only track which took me a while to get into but Anne West did something a little different with this number though I'm sure it will be loved by most who listen to it. Ann West is a brilliant artist and this album is surely destined to become a popular release once on the shelves. Pop music at it's best. 9/10

ANTHRAX - Through Time (P.O.V.) DVD: Anthrax were and still are a cracking thrash metal band from N.Y.C. They've sold millions of albums and are up there with likes of Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth. What you have here is a collection of several videos released on DVD for the very first time. There's some cracking videos to some of their best known songs which include 'Metal Thrashing Mad', 'Indians', 'I Am The Law' and 'In My World'. If you've not heard Anthrax before then this is a great introduction. If you're into Anthrax then all I can say is you're in for a treat. 8.5/10

ANTHRAX -Oidivnikufesin DVD: This live show is taken from Anthrax's 1987 show in London. I caught Anthrax on this tour when they played Birmingham Odeon. I'll never forget that show as my mate fell down the stairs in the circle. Hilarious! This was my favourite period in terms of Anthrax's music – Check out 'Spreading The Disease' album from that era and you'll realise how great they were. All my favourite tracks are given some brilliant live treatment here including 'Caught In A Mosh', 'Metal Thrashing Mad', 'Armed And Dangerous', 'Among The Living' and 'NFL'. The quality might not be of the standard you get today but this captures how the scene was back then and what a blinding time the band and fans had. 9/10

ANTHRAX - Live Noize DVD: By the early 90's thrash metal was getting so repetitive that it was becoming boring. Anthrax could have just carried on churning out the same old stuff and playing with the same old bands. They didn't. They started playing with bands from other areas of the musical spectrum and one of these happened to be Public Enemy the infamous rap band. Both bands even took it further by becoming co-headliners on a joint 'Bring The Noise' tour. This live show featuring the Anthrax set is taken from the Irvine Meadows amphitheatre in Southern California in 1991. What's more Public Enemy join Anthrax on stage for two of the numbers. This was a great show to watch and one I'm sure you will too! Anthrax play a blinder and when Public Enemy hit the stage with them the crowd are going fucking mental. This is certainly one live show I'd have loved to have been at. Both audio and visua |
