The Libertines – ‘Anthems For Doomed Youth’ review (Rolling Stone)

Libertines Anthems For Doomed Youth

Remember when, like, half the UK were dressing like Oliver Twist extras? 2002-2004 was a weird time, man.

Anyway. The fulcrum of the urchin Queen’s Guards costuming, The Libertines, grew up and realized that making lots of money was better than making no money. Hence, new album. Read what I think about it, here.

Dave McCabe & The Revelations – ‘Church of Miami’ review (Rolling Stone)

SetWidth280-davemccabechurchofmiami750

“Valerie” was a good song. So was “Always Right Behind You”. And “Pressure Point”. And “Havana Gang Brawl.” But Zutons dude McCabe, though, ditches all that soul-y indie-pop guff for his solo debut, Church Of Miami. Find out if it’s any good right here.
