Because for some reason Firefox often won't allow me to edit but it still makes the page go into edit mode so when I try to then open it in Explorer the page is supposedly in edit by another user and hang on where was I?

Anyway I'm continuing here for a little while until I can paste this into the original thing.

The hoosiers - 5 Track Promo

Worried About Raye
Goodbye Mr A
Run Rabbit Run
Worst Case Scenario
Trick to Life

A bit Kaiser Monkey Detectives ish. That same sort of swingy drum beat and use of common accents and a bit of keyboards. It's a bit dull and average really and features Honky Tonk Piano. It moves on to a slower track with jangly guitars. It's still quite painfully average stuff. The singer is singing quite high on this stuff. I bet they look really boring. Just checked them on youtube and they. Obviously. Actually the singer looks a bit like that bloke in the chilli peppers. He looks older than I thought. Probably isn't though.

The packaging was a black + white sleeve. A cartoony drawing on the front and the track lsit on the back.

I can't take any more of this though. Look at them if you want: http://youtube.com/watch?v=a2ErypIapyw

Draytones Forever On

A carboard sleeve with a hole in. A bit like an old vinyl thing. It say promo on it and 1965records.com. It's got green printing on it.

Starts off with some distorted drums and guitars. It's already astonishingly bland. Sounds like they are probably using old equipment though for that authentically boring 1960s sound. It often sounds like 'old rock'. Which isn't a good thing, no matter how much they might think it is. You know it's like the stones and hendrix and all that but not as good in any way because they're merely copying. The second track is cleaner sounding with finger picked guitar. It's still not music I like though. Does sound like old music though but this time more like old music hall stuff. Sounds a bit like george formby on the ukelele. Less than 2 minutes of track and I still skipped it. I really don't like the singer's voice. 3rd track got skipped after 30 seconds. Track 4 sounds a bit like the Monkeys. Still doesn't interest me. Track 5 manages to be almost identical to everything gone before and I really can't be arsed with this anymore.

Moved on now to

Dragonette - Galore

Duncan's reviewed this too. I'm already familiar with Dragonette through Popjustice.com who first noticed them on myspace I believe. I like her voice. Wasn't really expecting the guitars to come in in the middle of the chorus. It feels nice to hear some synthesisers again after all those horrible guitar obsessed tracks. This would be better without the guitars. Competition sounds nice to start with and again the vocals are nice. A bit dancehall esque rhythm such as Hey Baby by No Doubt. A bit too elaborate in the chorus. Sounding a touch R+B really. Would be better if they kept it small.
I want to like this and it is the case that it's better than most of the stuff I have listened to. I don't think I'd mind it on in the background but it's certainly not something I'd deliberately buy. It should be struck down for not being as good as it should be.

Jets Overhead - Bridges

Ambient guitars. Nice. Post Rock mogwai ish so far. In come some drums.Descended into standard rock now. Okay it's officially boring standard rock pop music now. It stays the same throughout. No difference in any of the tracks. They might as well all be the same track. Rubbish. And after such a promising start.

Reasonable Doubt - Built to Resist

Some speedy metal music with very shouty gutteral vocals. Heard it all before.

Swad - 10am and the Sky is Blue

Generic indie rock.

Tess Wiley - Superfast Rock N Roll Played Slow

Pleasant enough slightly country-esque sound at moderate tempo. Not my style but might appeal if you like country music. I don't.

Where the Action is (compilation)

Sick of It all - Take the Night Off (from the album Death To Tyrants)
Very shouty rock like Marilyn Manson/Slipknot/Mushroomhead do sometimes. Quite fun in a way. But really not my kind of thing.

Backyard Babies - We Go A Long Way Back
Fairly traditional hair metal style music. Melodic and does its style pretty well. Not a style I like. Quite 80s really.

Ignite - Bleeding
These metal track names are really very cliched aren't they? Fast drumming but the guitars are slower. Drumming quite doubled up really. Almost gets close to rap in the way the vocals are barked out. Still fairly tradition metal.

Maroon - Wake Up In Hell
Drum roll intro and superast 2/4 drumming. Demonic gutteral vocals and of course some machine gun drumming. Amusing and very derivative.

Sworn Enemy - Scared of the Unknown
A strident slow intro gives way to more machine gun drumming. Nothing much to tell it apart from the previous track. The vocalist sounds slightly less demonic.

Manntis - Weathered Soul
Same tempo, slightly different guitar sound. Otherwise exactly the same as the last two tracks. Well actually the vocalist is more like track 3. He screams a bit in it.
