REVIEW: The Courteeners - Anna

Wrote a new review for Electric-Banana on the Courteeners new album, Anna. Yet to be published, so here it is unedited. I'll put the link up when it's been uploaded.

EDIT. Here you go. http://www.electric-banana.co.uk/reviews/album-reviews/the-courteeners-anna/


What’s this?
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Take this clichéd philosophy with you when you first listen to Anna, The Courteeners’ first LP since Falcon in 2010. Anna is certainly a grower, but never becomes fully grown.

13 for 2013: V - Me

The band after their visit to Topman's suit department (from hitthefloor.co.uk)
Annoyingly unGoogle-able, 'ME' are an Australian quartet signed to a UK label. Though they've been together for four years, their debut, 'Even the Odd Ones Out', is only just set for release in February this year.

Mt. Wolf on Electric-Banana

Had my first article published on the fancy-looking Electric-Banana.co.uk. Nice little site, and I'll be writing more for them.
This was just a piece on Mt. Wolf for the New Music section.
It's here.
