Vs Pete |
Gigwise reports: Justin Hawkins, fresh from
wishing Coldplay would die, labelling Chris Martins involvement in Live
8 fake and calling Frankie Poullain talentless, has waded in on Doherty
too.
The NME reports Hawkins as saying: "I'd
say firstly (Pete) doesn't do rock music, and secondly, he only sells records
because people are curious as to what a junkie sounds like. I think that's
really wrong and really irresponsible...I think he's a talent less waste
of fucking skin!"[see full story for more]- Click

Special: Troll |
antiMusic reports: Mark is on a roll and today's
special Hensch Hometown Hero is Troll, a band that delivers a multicultured,
multi-genre explosion of style. Here is Mark with more.
On their 2001 debut, Que Son Los Trolls
Y En Que Nos Ayudan? (henceforth referred to simply as Que),
Troll mix varying degrees of J-Rock (a slang term for Japanese pop rock),
brit-pop, 1960's-1970's American West Coast Garage rock, Kyuss stoner vibes,
Pixie freakouts, Latin beats, Texicana folk, and straight new-age noise
rock to make a band so diverse it is unique. This represents a perfect
analogy for America itself; how did a country formed almost entirely out
of immigrants (i.e. unoriginal inhabitants) go on to represent something
wholly separate and unique from anything else in the entire world? Troll
come across in the exact same way; on one hand, music fans can probably
detect a million different styles and influences here. On the other side
of the divide, Troll blends those influences so well that everyone will
swear they're hearing a musical revolution that has never been done before.
