M. Ward - Post-War

3-5 Stars

With five studio albums under his belt, Matt Ward seems to be quite the pro at this music malarkey.

Wolfmother - Wolfmother

3-5 Stars

Wolfmother aren’t fresh, forward thinking or revolutionary, but if you’re in the right frame of mind, they’ll be very hard to beat.

The Vines - Vision Valley

3-5 Stars

Craig Nicholls circa 2006 is, generally, a more controlled soul. For every screaming of 70 second buzz fest like ​‘Gross Out’, there’s a blissed out psychedelic pop song to match.

Be Your Own Pet - Be Your Own Pet

3-5 Stars

While most would be playing Green Day covers in their school hall, Be Your Own Pet are performing their own stuff to the world. Plus, it’s bloody good fun.

The Cribs - The New Fellas

3-5 Stars

‘The New Fellas’ could well be The Cribs’ first real’ shot at the big time, now they have their very own celebrity cheerleaders shouting their name to anyone who will listen.

Foo Fighters - In Your Honour

3-5 Stars

While fantastic singles have often been interspersed with mediocre filler, the Foo Fighters now present something consistently good.

13th June 2005

The Libertines - The Libertines

3-5 Stars

Whether this is to be their last album or not, no-one can say. Yet even if they implode tomorrow, with albums as good as this, all we can be is thankful.

Adem - Homesongs

3-5 Stars

Recorded on a computer with two shoddy microphones and a cup of coffee is a feeling that many musician types up and down the country will identify with.

Phoenix - Alphabetical

3-5 Stars

The album will have you clicking, clapping and dancing; making the perfect accompaniment to that barbeque party you were planning on hosting this summer.

Descendents - Cool To Be You

3-5 Stars

It’s fun, it’s skilled, it ain’t bad. Buy it if you like Blink 182 and want to increase your scene points, but if you’re looking for something original and inspired, you won’t find it here.
