Major Inactivity to Prompt Complete Re-jig

June 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Due to a slight case of crapness and busyness on the part of the TINTV group, our site has suffered from the old chestnut of ‘too much stuff not enough time’. Here at TINTV Towers we have decided that what this situation requires is a swift boot in the arse, a dressing down and a sorting out. In short, we’re having a reboot. WELL IT WORKED FOR STAR TREK! Watch this space for further developments, about faces, outright denials and honest reportage on TINTV staff expense claims. Umm, that’ll be £0.00... [Read the full story]

Maybeshewill - Sing The Word Hope In Four-Part Harmony

July 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

I love post-rock names - they sound like one half of a conversation. Some are enigmatic and portentous (Explosions In The Sky), some are kookily affectionate (iLiKETRAiNS), some are unexplainably sad (Her Name Is Calla) and some, well some are optimistically hopeful. Like these guys A three-piece from Leicester, Maybeshewill have been going for about three years and have been fair busy - this is their second album - and are not purely post-rock. Not at all. No, these guys are blending some tasty PR with some kick-ass riffs... [Read the full story]

Young Guns – In The Night

March 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

I fear that heavy metal may be due for a dumbing down, if Young Guns are anything to go by. Okay, I know, some people will be of the opinion that it was hardly clever in the first place, but when it came to shredding frets, nothing did it like metal. That’s the problem with this debut single, ‘In The Night’. It lacks that pyrotechnic ambition. True, Ben pounds the drums for all he’s worth in a slow/fast style, Frazer and John lay down a riff Megadeth would be proud of and Gustav wails nihilistic nonsense like the... [Read the full story]

Earth, Stebmo @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds

April 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

You should never meet legends. Dylan Carlson, a man whose name will be forever linked with roomie Kurt Cobain, is shorter than I expected, and his voice is higher. If his musical output was anything short of seminal, I might have been filled with disappointment and ended up writing a piece about not meeting legends and regrest and that sort of rubbish, but it isn’t so I won’t. There seems to be a trend (ie two bands I’ve seen) amongst American bands of featuring support acts comprising offshoots of the... [Read the full story]

Shake Shudder – Pound For Pound

December 9, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

Wakefield, home of the Cribs and the Research, is not the sort of place you’d expect to be a breeding ground of pop stardom… then again, where is? Stupid statement. It’s just that Shake Shudder hail from there and… well you have to say something, don’t you? Three song EPs, eh? Enough for a taste, not enough for a reasoned estimation. Well, my taste is this. From opener ‘Pound for Pound’ the jagged guitar and martial drums drag a furrow through your nerves, hastily filled by the plodding, apologist bass line.... [Read the full story]
