Walk The Moon - Walk The Moon

They’re drifting between The Killers and Two Door Cinema Club in a sea of meaningless tunes with no depth whatsoever.

Herbert Grönemeyer - I Walk

Sophisticated, majestic pop, with songs ranging between love and lament, joy and grief, and always with a hint of melancholy even in the most glorious moments.

3rd May 2011, 2:50pm

The Pigeon Detectives - Done In Secret

Mediocre, motiveless and not even all that catchy.

The Vaccines - Post Break-Up Sex

B-side ‘We’re Happening’ (self-referential?!) is actually the better song here.

Unobtrusively catchy and amiable clichéd.

2nd December 2010, 3:34pm

1 minute and 34 seconds of smart pop-rock.

1st October 2010, 7:14am

The three minutes shorter radio edit sounds somewhat fragmented and repetitive.

21st September 2010, 12:19pm

Oberhofer - o0O0o0O0o

Ooh’s, ahh’s and laa’s have always worked for pop.

2nd September 2010, 9:39am

Wot Gorilla?: not only the title of a Genesis song, but a band from Halifax, who don’t sound like Genesis at all.

18th August 2010, 11:13am

Wildbirds & Peacedrums - Rivers

Half sacred music mixed with folk-like lyrics and drums, and half experimental, Caribbean percussion pop.
