This Song Is A Film

Public Relations Exercise/Her Name Is Calla @ The Firebug, Leicester 07/04
Rotary Ten/Fang Club @ The Grapes, Sheffield 14/04
Flatlands/Battle Of Wolf 369/Kaddish/some crust band @ The Cricketer's Arms, Sheffield 18/04
YouCodeNameIs:Milo/Actionier @ Fuzz Club, Sheffield 19/04

Instead of reviews, today I shall be dealing in recommendations in the form of myspace links:

  1. Public Relations Exercise. Probably the best band in Leicester, but don't let that put you off. PRE do post-hardcore with stops and starts much like At The Drive-In, Glassjaw or even Hot Cross. Their singer is called Fats. Have a listen.
  2. Flatlands. Flatlands come from Sheffield via way of Lincolnshire. Their songs generally deal with coming from little towns and villages put to a soundtrack of Isis-style atmospheric, epic metal. It might even be doom metal. I'm not too sure. All good.
  3. Rotary Ten. These boys also come from Sheffield via Lincolnshire but they're not metal, which is a shame. Instead they sound a bit like The Smiths but with American Football-esq guitar parts thrown in. Whatever.

So not the best post, but a necessary one.
Next week's calender features Heart/Yeah! and Silver Mount Zion. Should be big.
BYE!
