Liverpool Echo – Liverpool Echo
If you like the early’70s Mersey reminiscing of Rockin’ Horse, there’s just no way you can go wrong with this one. Simple as that … go buy now!!! Even though the band name cannot be […]

Albums
The Directions – Weekend Dancers
Not that I was aware of the fact, but this is supposed to be one of the long awaited mod-revival re-releases. Considering the latter, I was a bit surprised to be left coldhearted with the […]

Owsley Sunshine – Watermelon
Described by my own self (in the review of their 2003 debut Look At The Merry-Go-Sun … find it elsewhere on these pages) as another bunch of Beatles-obsessives (in the best possible quirky way though), […]
