advance if you choose not to stay in and listen to your radio: 
ALBUM
OF THE WEEK
ALSO
CHECK OUT
THE
MILK AND HONEY BAND – Dog Eared Moonlight (APE) – They’re a strange band
to get a handle on, they have these wonderful moments, perfect ways to
waste your time, they have their Incredible Visions and you think yes,
I want more of this .Maryfaith Autumn really does hint at their Levitation/Ring/Zag
And The Beads heritage, Maryfaith is pond grace good and cast adrift floating
by, Maryfaith will catch you in that charm, catch you in the tall grass
and yellow ragwort and every time she floats by we fall a little deeper
under her charm - running up and down hills, chasing swallows and all hearts
climbing higher than the ocean and... and then... and then they go and
distil the magic with some rather polite middle of the road indie rock
that could be one of Keane’s less epic radio friendly moments, that or
some ear-friendly steal peddle guitar piloted Americana and you’re left
wondering who the real Milk And Honey Band actually are. There seems to
be three or for bands on here, this is why the Milk And Honey Band have
never quite registered around here, the different versions are all legitimate
and in their own ways equally as good, they just need some little something
that pulls it all together. Deadly to horses and your are required legally
to remove yellow ragwort if you have any on your land, nothing deadly about
the Milk And Honey Band, this is a delightful pleasant relaxing mellow
album, two or three of the songs are amongst the best you’ll hear this
year and the rest of it is growing on us in the same way a new coat or
a slighty uncomfortable pair of boots do, starting to feel right now, starting
to fit properly... 
THE
ANTIKAROSHI – Crushed Neocons (Exile On Mainstream) – Debut album from
a new German three piece (who apparently feature one time members of Brood).
A post rock thing, what ever that is? Healthy hints of the more progressive
end of D.C hardcore; Fugazi, Bluetip, Rites Of Spring and such, taking
it to a place of their own making though, this is organically different.
Disharmonic melody, other rock, post rock/hardcore, nothing too difficult
or hardboiled, The Antikaroshi have an easy flow. Bits of jazz in there,
a touch of electronica to go with the flow – amalgamations, cross pollination,
forward motion and so many dogs around, they hear them bark bark bark...
Impressive convention pushing musical disharmony that comes with enough
harmony to keep your heart rate kind of normal enough. Good enough to bark
about. 
REVOLTING
COCKS – Sex-O Olympic-O (13th Planet) – The much delayed slamslab of newness
from team Rev Co final lands on Feb 27th, seems like we’ve been sitting
on this one for months. Unmistakably RevCo and all their trademark banging
industrial-dance-metal hedonism. Uncle Al Jourgensen and his Ministry crew
and their bastard offspring. Apparently it was to be their swansong, but
then they had a listen to it and put the swansong on hold - “F**k, we’re
not going to let this be our last album!” declared Al upon hearing the
first mixes – and he’s right! Too good to pull the plug on their global
noise attack. RevCo still have that 90’s industrial dance magic in here
with the whiplash aggression and their wizard of sextown beats – they’re
still doing it as well as ever. Thing that RevCo have over most of the
others is that in all the industrial bite and the darkness of it all, they
have the bodies of songs, songs to catch things from. Viral goodness for
all, and what else could you possible catch from a HookerBot3000 other
than infectious dance metal? Ah, I see, RevCo aren’t ending, Al is taking
a back seat, franchising them out, turning it all over to a younger generation
of RevCo conspirators – well he did start all this in 1983, the guy deserves
a comfy chair. Long live RevCo, they’re still doing it better than most,
this is good, they’re always good, RevCo on good forward looking form –
WOODPIGEON
– Treasury Library Canada (End Of The Road) – Canada’s Woodpigeon with
their second album is six months. Another set of songs from Songbook sessions
and some rather refined and finely detailed easy going Americana. It may
just be that the Spring sun is out and the day is beautifully inviting,
and those layers are enhanced, no, this would surely sound as good in the
rain wouldn’t it? Yes it does, Treasury Library Canada sounds as pleasing
on this cold dull Winter afternoon as it did on that sunny morning. Crafted
songs, rich acoustic colour, rewardingly mellow folk flavoured Americana
that shares the good space that people like Sufjan Stevens invite you to
enjoy – 
Naaarrghhh,
come back in a minute, got a whole bag of half chewed live reviews here
that we just mght get up in a minute or two or a day or two or maybe save
for next week's issue and you've got enough to be explore here this week
what with the demo goodness and that new gig guide and the looking relegation
straight in the face. Go bang things at Scrap Club, it happens this Saturday
- 
SONIC
YOUTH have posted more information about their 16th album, ‘The Eternal’.
The album will be released on double vinyl, compact disc, and digital album
by Matador Records on June 9. Produced by John Agnello and the band, ‘The
Eternal’ not only marks Sonic Youth’s return to the independent label sphere
(titles on their own SYR label excepted) after a long association with
Geffen, but more importantly, ranks as one of their more inspired efforts
in a 28 year career.
DEMO
OF THE WEEK
DEEP
PURPLE – Stormbringer 35th Anniversary edition (EMI) - Thirty fifth anniversary
re-issue of the 1974 album from Deep Purple. Seen as some as the beginning
of the end by some, seen by others as the classic Deep Purple album. Arguments
rage long and hard about the best Purple line up, the classic Ian Gillan
fronted outfit or the Glen Hughes/David Coverdale version, some of us still
can’t decide. Same with this album, loved and hated in equal measure by
the fans, and the band so legend has it – apparently Blackmore was not
a fan of the direction Stormbringer was taking Deep Purple in, he quit
not long after the release. Drenched in the 70’s soul and hammond/bass
funk that the previous album Burn started to hint at. There’s a lot of
early Whitesnake to be found in here with the hard edged soul, Whitesnake
never had the voice and vision of Glen Hughes alongside the blues of David
Coverdale though (they did have Stormbringer producer Martin Birch in the
seat for most of their ealry recordings though, the ones before they sold
everything to America and MTV). Yes, Stormbringer still sounds good with
that 70’s blend of refined hard rock and that righteous funk ‘n soul. Yeah
sure, Coverdale is waving his whitesnake a little too much, doesn’t he
always with his constant need to prove something or other - “I’m gonna
take you home and prove that I’m a man” - or his solutions to her gas bill
problems. There’s so much soul and funk is here, almost touching on 70’s
Stevie Wonder territory. Blackmore still gets to impose his hard rock edge
here and there, Lady Double Dealer is as much Rainbow flavoured as it is
Whitesnake driven And you have got Soldier Of Fortune on here – that
has to be worth the entry price alone, a classic slice of melting mellow
arms in the air eyes closed chill down the spine 70’s hard rock.
Stormbringer was the sound of a band pulling apart, Stormbringer is also
a 70’s hard rocking funk ‘n soul guilty pleasure, and yes, it still sounds
good today, it is a Deep Purple classic and this provides more than enough
animation for those who say the Hughes/Coverdale version was very best
Purple line up. This re-issue comes with a load of bonus Glenn Hughes remix
tracks and hey, up there with the very best things 70’s Purple ever did.
A classic and an anniversary worthy of celebration. Released on 23rd Feb
in various formats including a two LP gatefold sleeve and a DVD that features
a previously unavailable US quadrophonic mix or something like that....
