Pilotlight are an Alternative / Indie / rock band hailing from the UK (Dublin / London). They were formed back in 2006 and have already caused a little bit of a stir, with their music being used for last summers world cup promos on RTE television, (The Irish equivalent to the BBC).
The Post War Musical is the bands debut, and what a debut! The production is incredibly polished and the songs are beautifully constructed. The band really manage to pull off that dark brooding atmospheric type of sound, and their sound has been compared to that of early Radiohead and even Cold Play.
I'm not sure how they manage to pull it off but each and every song has both a sense fragility and strength, and listening to this album is a wonderful experience as the band take you on a journey through each and every track.

Highly recommended, Just sit back and chill!!

Baby Scream - Baby Scream

Track listing -

01 Powerpop Crush
02 Exile
03 Jekyll & Hyde
04 Mental Case

07 Nipone
08 Lazy
09 What About You ?
10 Twenty Seven


Argentinean singer/songwriter and Baby Scream leader Juan Pablo Mazzola has returned with his latest offering, 'Baby Scream', a brilliant combination of classic rock licks and power pop sensibilities that sits comfortably somewhere between both John and Jullian Lennon and T-Rex.
Readers of Glitzine will be no stranger to Baby Scream, as I have reviewed their previous two eps before, but this time things are slightly different.
Yes Baby Scream still deliver that laid back chilled out kind of music that they have always done, but somehow on this album things feel a little different, the guitars seem to have more bite, the vocals have just a little more urgency about them and to be honest the effect is wondrous.
All ten songs on offer here are brilliant, but a couple really do stand out as something special, The Ghost Of Valerie (feat. Eric Dover of Jellyfish,Slash’sSnakepittt, Alice Cooper), What About You, Watching The End Of The World (On TV), Mental Case and Powerpop Crush, have a certain something about them that could make them powerpop classics!
Fans of Jackdaw4, John Lennon, 90's Britpop will love this album!

Very Highly recommended

Alternative / Rock / Powerpop band Applespacebar hail from Birmingham USA, offer up their second full length album in the form of Songs You Might Like. Lead guitarist, Ben Trexel, claims the band play guitar-driven modern rock, but they verge definitely more on the pop side of the spectrum than the rock side in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, all the songs are well written and perfectly executed, the band have a solid line up in guitarist/composer Ben Trexel, vocalist/lyricist Johnny Nine, guitarist Patrick Prantl and drummer Lake Trechsel. yet I find the music a little light weight for my liking.
'Ultimately, we want to write songs that stand on their own, stand the test of time, and get played on the radio,” claims Trexel, and they may well do, but I doubt that they will be setting the world on fire any time soon, sorry but I guess it all comes down to personal taste.

ARCADIA is a three piece Italian hardcore band. They bring us very technical, interesting music, and whilst it my not always be to my personal taste, it is always very well written and executed, and always interesting and even myself, whom will admit that I'm not a large fan of the genre, can find them very listenable and altogether enjoyable!
These guys have been around for some time now, with this being their forth release, and you can see how the band have grown and progressed.
Fans of the genre will probably love this cd, and anyone interested in checking the genre out could do far worse than giving this cd a spin.!

05. Hagley
06. Gaia

10. Kaleidoscope
11. Nowhere’s Ark

After an 18 year hiatus, arK (they spell the name that way as to not to get confused with the band Ark!), return with the album Wild Untamed Imaginings.

When listening to arK, they bring to mind bands like Praying Mantis, Genesis, Yes, Marillion, Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd, they seem to have tapped into that same classic prog rock vein.
This album is very varied, so you should always expect the unexpected, one song can be driven along by the guitars, the next by a flute, the next its the vocals that keep you hooked, every track offers up something different and new.
Fans of classic prog rock will love this cd, if you dont like your prog rock then avoid arK like the plague!

A good solid prog rock album

Black Page Turns-2 Track Demo

Track listing -

01 - Lightning Strikes
02 - Charlottes Web

Midlands based (Leicester) rockers offer up this two track demo of rock / metal.
The band count
Foo Fighters, Coheed and Cambria, Korn, The Authentics, Therapy? Terrorvision, Pitchshifter, The Wildhearts, Lost Prophets, and the Prodigy amoung their influences. I can hear many of them, and Id add the likes of Iron Maiden, Tribe, Toxic Federation in their too as the bands sound is not too dissimilar.A solid outing, with Charlotte's Web proving to be the stronger of the two tracks. A little rough around the edges but that ;art of their charm,
I look forward to hearing great things from this band!
