It was only a few months after I discovered And What Will Be Left Of Them?, a very noisy yet very good band from Worcester, that they decided to break up. I didn't really expect to hear much more from them after that. Suddenly this gem dropped into the inbox though, and in the course of a couple of minutes manages to run rings round the mighty AWWBLOT. Lost Boy Scout is the one-man band of Peter Adams, who was the "chief shouter, song writer and guitar hitter" in the previous band. [...]

I sure hope Santa wasn't watching, because I was a bad girl at the grocery store today. After waiting in line nearly ten minutes for the elderly, scooter-confined person in front of me to figure out how the fuck to use the debit card thingy, I nearly lost it on the bag-boy. He was standing there in a stupor, not putting any stuff in the bags and I said to him, "Dude, you're gonna have to pick up the pace here." He looked at me kind of cross-eyed and said, "I'm off in [...]
What is it with the ton of manic bands that seem to be popping up at the moment? Maybe it's a sign of the times, but there seems to be shouty pop bands coming from every direction the last few months. This is in no way a bad thing, as the UK scene in particular seemed to have a shortage of them. But now they are everywhere. And What Will Be Left Of Them? arrive in a similarly deranged fashion. The guitars immediately set the tone for what is to follow, pulsating in and [...]

Today's the Countdown to Xmas day when I let my inner Grinch out. I'm actually in a much better mood about the holidays than I was last year. That's still not saying it seems like Christmas here. I think the Ramones lyric goes something like, "It ain't Christmas if there ain't no snow." Growing up in Southern (more or less) California, I can say I've never had a white Christmas. A few days before or a few days after, maybe, but I've never lived anywhere there has been [...]
I know I didn't ask, but thank you hydromedusa ... The waves are not abating, nor are the waters getting any shallower. Nothing left for it but to pull on the wetsuit (mmmm, tight neoprene), strap on an oxygen tank, and swim like a fish. And since Christmas is coming (and the octopus is getting fat), it's utterly appropriate to slip on a Santa cozzie as well. Yes, Chrimbo is ratcheting up chez nous , Dearest Friends. We went out en famille this weekend and [...]

. . .are from Worcester, in the English Midlands. They proclaim themselves "proud to be part of the UK's exploding DIY scene," and therein lies much of their charm. If you only like perfectly polished powerpop, squeaky clean and sparkly, this might not be quite right for you. If, however, you like it a little off-kilter, original, and in your face, AWWBLOT could be just what you need, "the best proto-post-neo-punk-electro-po ptart band ever," as Darkworld Fanzine put it. Powerpoptart? Oh, rahther. And What Will Be Left Of Them? [...]
And What Will Be Left Of Them? release the debut single for the new The Little Hellfire Club label. And the good news for you and me is that it is a free download EP featuring three tracks. The download EP is a taster for their next release for the label which is the CD single Come With Me which you can pre-order on the site. If you have not heard the band before they are a mix of electro pop
