THE REBIRTH OF SKA PUNK?
Relentless Garage, Highbury and Islington, 15/10/09.
I’D HEARD good things about the Skints from various whispers around town but never actually heard them until tonight and I just wish I’d seen them sooner.
With everything based around a modern rude-boi reggae style the band have a real slinky feel to them with [...]

Whitest Boy Alive
Rules
(Bubbles)
Erlend Øye’s Whitest Boy Alive may sound like the worst band name to surface in recent years, but the self-deprecatory moniker seems somehow apt when listening to this album.

Lunch time, Monday 11 May 2009, for all its routine niceties; Red Leicester and tomato sandwich, salt ‘n’ vinegar crisps and a water, came with a hint of realisation.
