JOHN J PRESLEY – ” Left “

The last year has been fraught with tours, live shows and a relocation. They went out with The Jim Jones Revue on their last UK tour and shared stages with Band of Skulls, and Joe Gideon and the Shark to name a few.
Some say think Jack White meets Tom Waits. We say it is its own beast. Alongside the unmistakable guitar tone of Presley are driving bass lines from a Fender Rhodes, warm vocal harmonies and thick drones from their harmonium.
If you need a direction…think The Kills, think Tom Waits, think Nick Cave, but do go and experience this in it’s own right.
John J Presley – an English gent with a penchant for fuzz.

“Without doubt one of the most interesting talented musicians out there at the moment..something quite seductive about it…”

JOHN J PRESLEY – ” Ill At Ease “

The vocals remind you of Tom Waits or Johnny Cash, while the guitars have the same drive, as Jack White’s or the Black Keys do, only much dirtier. The heavy distortion together with Presley’s husky voice, give the music a more mournful feel. Plus there is a very strong folk element to it, which makes it just that much more intriguing and a bit poetic, whilst never losing its energy. The kind of music you imagine Jack White would cream his pants for.

KING TUFF – ” Magic Mirror “

King Tuff, and the album: “Black Moon Spell” available on Sub Pop Records. Kyle Thomas, aka King Tuff, subscribes to a simple philosophy while recording: “Make something you can listen to over and over again,” he said, before rocking Fernwood in 2012. “It’s got to be exciting the whole time, like a little adventure or a little journey from each song to the next.” King Tuff’s self-titled rager was one of my favorites of 2012, and this follow-up delivers just as lavishly, with fiery guitar-centric bliss

SHELLAC – ” Dude Incredible “

Shellac and the album “Dude Incredible” Was a long awaited return of Shellac. Steve Albini was too busy making everyone else sound good and when he finally returned to work with the ultimate power trio, with bassist Bob Weston and drummer Todd Trainor, he found the unit as tight and taut as ever. With their masterful timings and perfect sound Shellac are the best hard rock band on the planet – they genuinely kick ass but with an introspection and lyrical intelligence that places them in their orbit. The highest compliment could be is that they sound like the band that Steve’s collection of 40 plus brilliant and rare mics was invented for and “Dude Incredible” is a thrilling album of songs that are as heavy as their debut album

The Bronze Medal’s debut ‘Darlings’ didn’t get the attention it deserved this year; their anthemic, emotionally raw brand of National-style indie rock deserved a lot more.

ETERNAL TAPESTRY – ” Karma Repair Kit “

taken from the album Guru Overload by Eternal Tapestry on Oaken Palace Records .Guru Overload finds Eternal Tapestry at their wooziest best with guitar noodling aplenty and pure, full-on jamming to the fore. On vinyl, side A is taken up by just two songs and they seem to go nowhere and everywhere at the same time leading the listener into a trance like groove. The music is pretty special and obscure and so are the song titles; “Trout Fishing On The Street of Eternity”, “Where Water Comes Together.

Pink-Floyd-Colour-Pic-1971-300x196

Pink Floyd live in 1971 prior to the release of their forthcoming album “Meddle” with tracks presented (in his inimitable way) by John Peel. This was The Pink Floyd we loved, investigating sounds, jamming, mixing songs with extended instrumental pieces, creating atmospheres and in this set playing a song that didn’t appear on any of their studio albums, Embryo.  They were soft, edgy, inventive and tuned into the times lyrically.

This excellent quality recording is a real treasure for Pink Floyd fans and when a voice comes in at the end of Embryo, this is “WNEW FM 102.7 on your dial” you realise that you can never completely trust the info a bootleg recording gives you. This concert from London could have been broadcast in the US, it could have been a Floyd instigated overdub, who knows? If you know or have any information about this concert, please be sure to let us know.

The last track is listed simply as Blues and there is no information at all about it? It could be the middle of another song, it could be the soundcheck, it could be a different concert? Whatever it is there is energy and excitement, mood and adventure even though it is just a simple series of blues chords with guitar and organ taking it in turn to play the solos. (Cheers at the end are obvious overdubs).

SLAVES – ” The Hunter “

Royal Blood showed us how much noise can be extracted from a two-piece duo. London based Garage band Slaves – not to be confused with the Californian rockers of the same name – are Isaac Holman and Laurie Vincent: one shouts and bangs the drums standing up, the other coaxes great, fat metal riffs from his guitar. They look like two overgrown truants from the rough part of town, but if you shut your eyes this is what the Black Keys might have sounded like had they been raised on Shane Meadows films – wry, suburban disaffection, like Sleaford Mods with less swearing; a hint of Madness and a bit of vaudeville too (“Hello, how’s Amelia? Is she still ugly?” – How’s Amelia). New punk sensations tend to burn out quickly but we think Slaves’ wit will carry them through. They have a song called Where’s Your Car Debbie?, inspired by a true event.
