About Tom Parmiter

Basement Jaxx – Scars
Scars continues on from where the last two Basement Jaxx efforts left off; a dizzying blend of supporting artists brought together uniformly under a terrifying album cover. Tom Parmiter reviews.

Last Stop China Town – Into The Volcano
Metal for the new Millennium or the next Eurovision entry? Tom Parmiter can’t quite decide what Last Stop China Town actually want to BE…

Matisyahu – Light
Matisyahu has expertly crafted a near consistent, uniquely recognizable listen, which while not groundbreaking, marks its territory with zest and confidence.

Broadway Calls – Good Views, Bad News
Good Views, Bad News, is Broadway Calls’ second album. They are a pop punk band, signed by Billie Joe Armstrong. That’s all you need to know.

Dinosaur Pile-Up – The Most Powerful EP In The Universe
Unwieldy, thumping, a sound stacked as high as….a dinosaur. The suitably titled ‘The Most Powerful EP In the Universe’ happily sees Dinosaur Pile-Up maintain their harmless, lumbering appeal.

The Rumble Strips – Welcome To The Walk Alone
The Rumble Strips have created an album that’s harmless fun, but it shouldn’t be mistaken with any of the other hit factories around at present.

Lucky Elephant – Star Sign Trampoline
A debut album that’s full of catchy pop hooks, marvellous mumbo-jumbo lyrics and soaring choruses – Lucky Elephant have got it right first time around according to Tom Parmiter.

Elusive Parallelograms – And Everything Changes
They’ve got a great name, now can Elusive Parallelograms back it up with some equally remarkable music? Tom Parmiter reviews.

Telegraphs – We Were Ghosts
The Telegraphs unleash short, sharp pop songs… but can they deliver enough hooks per minute to keep you interested? Tom Parmiter investigates.

Goes Cube – Another Day Has Passed
‘Another Day Has Passed’ is the debut studio album by American hard rock band Goes Cube. We say ‘hard rock’, but that is apparently up for debate, such is the whirling dervish created around them by reviewers.
