Welcome to Fuzzy's Indie Radio (UK) Well I finally got round to working out the SHOUTcast server. You, The discerning Indie radio listener out there can now tune into my station. The latest addition to my blog is a "Listen" button found at the top of the right hand frame. This is a simple but cute enhancement - If the button shows "online" then it's streaming live cool Indie / Alternative / Unsigned Band's tracks for your listening pleasure. I am going to try and be streaming between 5pm and [...]

From the age of ten, until my mid twenties (and this must be true for most of you out there too) was the most enlightening musically for an impressionable lad. Looking back now is a privelige that rests easily on older shoulders despite the trials and memories of a former time, when everything required effort, dedication, and single-mindedness on a scale, thankfully, rarely required since. The small black discs appeared like a bountiful treasure (much to the annoyance of plural parents) and were collected with vigour, stashed carefully, and only withdrawn from their pristine sleeves when a musical discovery was [...]

For over 3 years now, the likely lads (Tim & Toby) at Transgressive HQ have been pushing out some immense aural product to delight and tantalise our collective consciousness. They are about to release TRANS0068 (Probably Foals' "Cassius", taster single for the soon-to-be-mega "Antidotes" LP from Oxfords finest...) The story started way back in 2004 with a debut release from The Subways - 1am - a 3 track gem of a record for which you would probably need to stump up £50+ for on E-Bay (If you can find a copy for sale anywhere!). In a sort of homage-come-celebration to [...]

Rarely has any band crept under the skin and pressed all the right stylistic and musical buttons as current fave "The Dogs". Shameful to admit that I completely missed out on the first Album "Turn against this Land" a real blockbuster of a debut that has recently burnt a searing furrow on these ears. Not since I first heard the Skids "Scared to Dance" or XTC's "Black Sea" (to name but two) has an album sounded so complete and utterly devastating as a statement of serious intent. Only now, that the second DOGS album "Tall Stories from under the Table" [...]

They may be no more, but the HOT SNAKES will always have a place in our post-punk hearts. A reminder here that theres still plenty for all ...
Further to my recent post on Sheffields finest, Bromheads Jacket, thought I might try a more technical approach. (well technical for me) so will give this a go, as the previous links dont appear to be too secure. Now I just got to get the formatting sorted... cue a long list of post edits ..

Take Blur's parklife sensibilities, crank it up to Arctic Monkey oomph and throw in the acidic humour of The Streets and you start to approach what BROMHEADS JACKET are all about. Despite vocalist Tim's east London twang, the 3 piece band are from Sheffield, home of afore-mentioned Monkeys and are getting ready to take over the world! Currently just finished a european tour and now getting into the studio to record their second album, look out for these boys around the festivals this summer. If you cant wait that long, then dip into LESLEY PARLAFIT or [...]

The Maccabees from Brighton have finally "arrived" with their new album COLOUR IT IN. This is the sort of music that stops me in my tracks and reminds me how great real post punk pop rock should sound like. Full of rawky riffola and dynamic contrasts, the opposition are going to have to step up several gears to beat this when the end of the year reviews are written and 2007 is just a memory. The Maccabees first came to my attention with the quirky but superbly enjoyable LATCHMERE single (Released on the wonderful FIERCE [...]
