Albums

Bedsit Poets – The Summer That Changed

December 16, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

I can’t really hear “the melodies that made Roger McGuinn love the sounds of England in 1964” as quoted in the press-release, except maybe in distant traces, but I do hear some other melodies and […]

Albums

Cinderpop – Their Skies Are Beautiful

December 15, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Being hailed as “the next Vancouver band that might emerge internationally”, and described as “60s flavoured pop like The Zombies meet The Left Banke with a touch of XTC”, might be a pretty hard task […]

Albums

The Crustaceans – I’m Happy If You’re Happy

December 6, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Reading about the cult status of their series of self released EPs, I kinda expected a bit more. Still, if you’re looking for catchy pop songs, with well-crafted vocal harmonies, you shouldn’t be disappointed with […]

Albums

Various Artists – Unearthed Merseybeat Volume 3

December 5, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

As with the previous two, the third, and the last, installment of the series that finds us diggin’ through the Scouse musical legacy, offers a couple of classics that never were, some insight into the […]

Albums

Various Artists – New Rubble Vol. 3 & 4

November 28, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Watch Your Step / New Rubble Vol. 3 Utopia Daydream / New Rubble Vol. 4 However we might’ve missed the old Rubble series, the new ones keep comin’ so fast that they almost leave you […]

Albums

Chrysalis – Definition

November 23, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Chrysalis’ sole 1968 album might as well be the very “definition” of the so-called “underappreciated masterpiece” genre. This one’s sure to raise the eyebrow of anyone who gives it even just a brief listen, because […]

Albums

Mike Furber And The Bowery Boys – Just A Poor Boy

November 22, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Though Mike Furber’s complete recorded output is available on an Australian CD release, this is a more than welcome re-issue of his sole 1966 album, which might as well be worth the purchase even if […]

Albums

Liverpool Echo – Liverpool Echo

November 19, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

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

November 17, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

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 […]

Albums

The Everyday Things – Lighten Up, Francis!

November 15, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Before actually hearing it, I’d read a couple of short articles/reviews about The Everyday Things’ Jamie Hoover-produced debut, being reminiscent of Jamie’s own Spongetones’ Mersey-Beat Music. Sure enough, there is a couple of them that […]

De é bra LARM

  • Att skapa LARM – ett rockfanzine som frälste Sverige

    May 8, 2018 2
    LARM var Lennart Perssons stora projekt. Jag är inte helt säker på att han visste hur stort det skulle bli när han väl satte idén i handling. Lennart Persson gick bort 2009 och han var [...]
