Call The Doctor - Call The Doctor mini album

Call The Doctor are a female fronted Bristol (uk) based jerky pop / punk / dance band, blending so many different elements together its unbelievable.

This mini album was recorded and mixed over 10 days by Paul Tipler (idlewild/placebo/elastica) which is amazing considering the quality of the songs on display here.
Vocalist Patti Aberhart has great and distinctive voice, which really add an extra spark to the six tracks on offer here.
The stand out tracks for me are ' For Your Leisure' and 'Little Bones'
Call The Doctor have all the ingredients needed to be huge given that they get the right exposure, and have already been featured on Steve Lamacq's unsigned band of the week, BBC Bristol Introducing's Record of the Week, been on Gill Mill's (NME Radio) Best Of Myspace podcast, and had their track, 'Gregory, You're a Star' daytime playlisted on BBC Bristol, it looks like they're on the right track and knocking on the right doors!

Advantage - The Beat Single

Dance Floor Punk with Brass to dance to, is the first line in the bio that comes with this CD, and to be honest that's the best way to describe this release from punk / pop / ska rockers Advantage.

The Beat is a double a side release, 'The Beat' (Get Up) and 'Wait' (Is This Love) being the two tracks on offer here. 'The Beat' is a great up tempo dance track which will have the dance floors bouncing in all the clubs that play this whilst 'Wait' is a mid tempo ballad type of song. Both tracks are very well written and executed.
Advantage may have struck a rich vein and discovered a new genre with their 'aggressive mix of pop punk dance and rock'.
