THECOCKNBULLKID

not that amazing, but a lot better than a lot of indie/electro at the moment. 

the monotonous musicality is predictable but her lyrics are really honest and relatable. i think her songs could easily become something you HAVE to listen to again before going to sleep. or make your night when you hear them played at a a club. YEAH i think i like her. PLUS she says the sugababes were never the same after Mutya left which is an intelligent view of the world to have.

Check her tunes out here.

DORIAN GAY

Saw a gig last night in Norwich @The Queen Elizabeth.

Dorian Gay are a brand new 4-piece hardcore act formed out of UEA students and a tight drummer they found locally. I have to say, my punk leanings never went as far as hardcore and I was slightly concerned the whole thing would be an exercise in who could do the best Gallows impression. As far as this new wave of hardcore bands and noise punk brats goes, I doubt I'm the first person to ask every publication calling it 'the second coming' if they've actually put down The Guardian and listened to the music, cause it fucking sucks. BUT the band looked good and I had nothing better to do. 

Dorian Gay had some catchy songs which went down a treat with the crowd, who had looked ready to start muttering about wannabes and trendy uni kids at the barely-legal quintet. Their set was short but punchy, they looked enthusiastic but managed to keep the first-gig goofy faces at bay. The audience enjoyed the band so much infact, that they called for the band to play something else until they shyly confessed they didn't have any more tracks, and offered a Black Flag cover which the crowd lapped up like punk puppies. 

I doubt Dorian Gay are gonna have any troubles getting a second gig, and will hopefully manage to get a foothold in the punk scene before anyone notices their arty haircuts and Smiths t-shirts.

The next band were so bad, I went to the toilets and made a phone call to a friend I didn't need to speak to.
