gig Review: Rob Zombie/Skindred - Leeds Academy (21.02.11)

Huddersfield Examiner — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:00:00 GMT

IT'S a gloomy Monday evening in Leeds but, for the hundreds of fans queuing at the O2 Academy, who’ve waited 13 years for this night to arrive, they couldn’t be happier. Rob Zombie; musician, director and alternative metal icon has finally brought his own brand of theatrical B-movie horror-rock show to the UK and, if the reputation which precedes him is anything to go by, then we’re all in for one hellof a show.

Review: Hot Against The Cold, Bar 1:22, Huddersfield (16.02.11)

Huddersfield Examiner — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 09:51:00 GMT

TO describe the effect of Hot Against The Cold taking the stage at Bar 1:22, the only word you need is ‘electric’. The band rallied the crowd forward with the fantastic opener ‘Any Song’- their youthful energy invigorating the whole room from the very first note to hit the air.

Music: Reviews

Huddersfield Examiner — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:00:00 GMT

FRYARS: Olive Eyes. Gothic-minded electro-pop that may have some roots in the 80s, but there’s something darker going on here too. The 19-year-old is into the dreamland of the absurd.

Music review: Amused with Muse

Huddersfield Examiner — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 23:00:00 GMT

STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS: New Heat. OK, a great band name and the racy soft-vocal psychedelia is just spaced out enough to live up to it.

Fresh: New music reviews

Huddersfield Examiner — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:00:00 GMT

JAY-Z featuring RIHANNA and KANYE WEST: Run This Town.With three such big names conspiring together you’d be right to expect something really rather huge. This urban soul and hip-hop fusion may be hewn from rock, but it also comes across as somewhat heavy.

Fres: Music reviews

Huddersfield Examiner — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:00:00 GMT

LITTLE BOOTS: Remedy.Hailed as electropop’s great hope, but she slips rather large boots on here to stomp all around the synth-laden dancefloor. Sounds like it’s got both eyes on the Euro pop market.
