ROCK Is This Music? @ 13th Note, Glasgow, Thu 17 Apr Back in early 2005, few people were shouting about Mother and the Addicts, ditto De Rosa in early 2006, yet both of these bands went on to promptly release cracking debut albums through Chemikal…

ROCK (Columbia) After first encountering this New York outfit making their TV debut on The Letterman Show wearing long black capes and romping though their breakthrough tune ‘Time to Pretend’, MGMT have only gone up even further in our estimation with…
ROCK The Jam House, Edinburgh, Sun 16 Mar Despite the glittery, Lycra covered delights their name conjures up, lovers of dazzling showmanship probably wouldn’t have been bowled over by the stage presence of this Edinburgh three-piece. Apart from the…
