Cut Throat Militia - 14th Feb
Rising from the ashes of Eastbourne's Hateball, the new Punk outfit Cut Throat Militia launch themselves at the Crypt. With pounding bass and a new approach they seem more mature, controlled and visually tighter than in their previous form…
Tubelord - 6th January
Considering the harsh cold outside, inside the PA (Prince Albert) it was like a sauna. Tubelord were billed as well as support from bands ’Colour’ and ‘Calories’, both of which were excellent on the night as a set up to the…
Ry Byron - 11th November
I didn’t really know what to expect when I walked in to Bar Blue last night, only that I knew it was a male soloist I was reviewing. I found the songwriter outside and introduced myself, asking what kind of music he does; he replied that…

At the beginning of 2007, Cold War Kids were one of the hot tips for American bands set to conquer the UK music scene and with a top 40 album, they did achieve some success. The band disappeared off the radar to record their second album…
Bonde Do Role
