Boats’ capacity for concentration is small. The only thing they seek to dominate is the madcap universe inside their collective imagination but it’s worth a visit.

By plunging impassively into their own hearts of darkness, Lanegan and Garwood demonstrate that there’s still plenty of life lurking muddy waters of blues.

They’re loud, dense and energetic; treading the well-worn path betwixt impulsive fury and creativity borne outta boredom; making noise cuz they gotta, and it shows.

It’s always great to be reminded that dumb hooks can still make you feel as infinite as they did before you filled your head with irrelevant context.

Raucous and deadly, these two records will play havoc with your liberal sensibilities whilst secretly agreeing with you all along.

An album for our age, Go Easy revels in nonchalant noisemaking, gives in to the din and just IS. Effortlessly, thrillingly, brilliantly.

Bands evolve and change as they expand their horizons, but it’s their job to convince us of why their promised land is the place to be.

Comanechi always sound slightly too au fait with the plot to be truly out of their minds, but it’s as raw and savage as hook-laden guitar music gets in 2013.

Waiting For Something To Happen is a darn good pop record with songs you won’t be able to shake loose for days.
