The ’90s revival is well and truly alive, but Algernon Doll aka Ewan Grant, is shunning the neon colours, aztec prints, and electro throwbacks in favour of guitars, grunge, and soulful lyrics. His second album Citalo-pop is out on 10th June, but he’s already released and two brilliant tracks and videos online – “Cassini” and “Anti-them.” Visually, his videos are vintage ’90s harking back to when MTV used to show actual rock music videos. The tunes are both sing along and introspective, and miles away from his debut album Camomile which dealt with Ewan’s issues with extreme anxiety disorder. Algernon Doll burns a hole straight through the shallow nonsense and Citalo-pop is the sound of something real—Ewan Grant is a proper alt-rock talent who sounds wise beyond his years.

A headlining show at New York City’s Highline Ballroom by ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted’s new solo project (Newsted) turned tense for a moment Tuesday evening. Newsted’s band was halfway through a rendition of Metallica’s “Whiplash” when a fan leapt onstage, appeared to attempt a stage dive into the middle of the audience and instead ran [...]

Garden Party Fish - VocalsSteve Rothery - GuitarDiz Minnitt - BassMick Pointer - DrumsBrian Jelliman - KeyboardsThere is a lot of confusion around as to when this tape was originally made and I have seen it dated from 1980 right through to the middle of 1981 but I suspect the real date will never be known.Here's what I do know.On 2nd January the then three members of the band record a demo called "Close" this was then sent to the two new members, Fish and Diz Minnitt who then came down to join them to rehease that - now called "The Web" - and other songs.The band stayed at Leyland Hill Farm studios for up to ten weeks, before their first actual gig on 14th March at the Red Lion Pub in Bicester. (this tape is also credited to that gig but that is clearly wrong). This tape is clearly the band in rehearsal as you can hear them talking between the songs, and despite the title, clearly isn't the first time Fish had played with them, so it would be pretty safe to assume it comes from near the end of the rehearsal process as they are playing a full set. Of course, given that there are some edits between tracks it may not all be from the same day, or they may have just stopped the tape between numbers.

NAPALM DEATH, CARPATHIAN FOREST, MORGOTH, GOTHMINISTER are among the latest acts confirmed for this year's Eindhoven Metal Meeting festival set to take place December 12th - 14th
