Road-tested in a car speeding the mean streets of
Staines, Stars Of CCTV - the debut album from
Middlesex’s Hard-Fi – consciously sets out to update the
sense of frustrated tension and suburban dread that
powered second-wave ska acts like The Specials and The
Beat back at the close of the...

There's a clenched fist grasping a heart-shaped hand
grenade on the cover of American Idiot, a
militant mural presumably designed to inform us that
Californian punk-pop vets Green Day love America but
hate what's becoming of it. Inferences aside, you could
argue that American Idiot is a suspect...

The second album from

Weller-style Britpop of their debut,
Over The Counter Culture, making explicit the
dub, reggae, and ska influences that previously only
lurked in the shadows. It’s a wise move, as the...

It’s a great title, but can the second album by
codpiece-clad rockers The Darkness measure up to the
good-time japery of their debut? Fears that the
rancorous departure of bassist Frankie Poullain
(replaced by Richie Edwards) might have tarnished their
saucy-postcard image are proved groundless...

One of the defining moments of the 1990s, despite
happening at the start of the decade. The guitars start
jittering, then "BOOMA-ABOOMA-ABOOMA-ABOOM!", the drums
kick in and grunge splatters itself all over a
generation of MTV viewers. "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the

Trent Reznor has always been a one-trick-pony, but it's
a damn good trick: sunny melodies filtered through
ferocious electronics. Unfortunately, the trick's impact
was often watered down by a tendency toward petulance
