Working again with Nathan Horrorshow Tunes under our Zeitgeist banner, we'd like to present you our third show - and our first of 2012. We wouldn't call our last two shows tame. We enjoyed them alot. But in comparison to our forthcoming third - again taking place at Kingston pub The Cricketers , on Friday February 17 , for £3 - they could seem it a little. We're taking things a little 'heavier'. Guitars will be louder, voices will be angrier, and the audience probably smellier. [...]
It's been a while since we heard new material from Saturday's Kids, which makes this post all the more exciting, for me at least. The young South Wales band are due to put out a new 7" early next year, and 'Black Pocket' is one of the songs taken from it. Carrying the same kind of youthful, post-punk angst that we've grown to love in their previous work; the four-piece also continue to make massive forward strides in sound with this release. They're not content to sit still and be comfortable, and they're all the better for it. Catch them [...]
Saturday's Kids From: South Wales, United Kingdom Regular readers will recall the Devil's interview with South Wales noiseniks Saturday's Kids ( The Kids Are Alright ) back in September last year. Well they're back (and on a Saturday too, and some people think this blog is just thrown together!) punking it up old school with their new, self titled EP. While tracks like The Old Comedians and Pillow [...]

That's right. Welcome to Basement Fever's first ever competition! We're very happy to be here and we're excited to be giving away free stuff from people that we like. We think it's a pretty decent prize, and we hope you do too. Of course by 'we' I actually mean 'I'. Anyway. Any even semi-regular visitor to or Facebook fan or Twitter follower of this blog will know just how much we like Saturday's Kids. They've featured a good few times on BF ( here , here , and here , and we've also shouted how much [...]
This won't be for everyone, but it will be for some people – which makes it worth writing about, right? Right. For those people it's not for, please accept my apologies. Or give it a chance to grow. Évariste Galois are from Cardiff. They're named after a mathematician, which makes them automatically awesome in my eyes. They, like many Cardiff bands, are made up of members of other bands such as singer and guitarist Matthew who plays drums in Saturday's Kids and guitarist Sion who sings and plays guitar also in Saturday's Kids. They play American [...]
As much as I love looping experimental synth-led songs and bands with 15 members and 20 effects pedals, no frills punk still more than does it for me. And not even just the early and original punk of The Ramones and The Clash, I welcome with open arms bands carrying on where they left off. Apparently an off-shoot of two other Wales-based punk acts - State Run and Facel Vega – Leeds' Twisted (internet-less as far as I'm aware) are unfortunately no more, but their [...]
More new sounds from the band that don't cease to impress me. It's a little boring to use the whole "maturing band" thing, but they kind of are - each new release brings tonnes of new ideas. MySpace here , more songs at Art For Blind's bandcamp here , online shop here , listen below or download a zip (with permission). Saturday's Kids - Whisper In My Ear [...]
Saturday's Kids From: South Wales, United Kingdom Sion the lead singer with old school punkers Saturday's Kids took some time out from straining his vocal chords to answer a few questions from the Devil. The Devil : Why Saturday's Kids? What other names did you consider before finally deciding it had to be Saturday's Kids? [...]
Ono Palindromes From: Exeter, United Kingdom Exeter indie rockers and possessors of one of the more intriguing band names of the year Ono Palindromes took some time out from thinking about palindromes that they can deploy as the title of their first album to talk to the Devil about the strangest place they've ever played, their dodgy taste in music when they were younger, why they chose their name and what is the longest palindrome they can think of.
