So anyway, I was muttering to a colleague the other day at how no-one reeeeaaaally criticizes music any more....It might get slightly dissed or ignored but never critted. Pick up any music mag today and all you get is rehashed press releases, gently handling each new act, praising its similarity to umpteen other equally tedious musical ensembles.
Let us tell you what we really think of your noble exploit and maybe learn something from being thumped about a bit instead of someone soothing your oh-so-delicate artistic temperament.
Things like..."call that alternative? Bollocks , lad, me granny was more alternative than that and that was just in her choice of knitting wool!"
'Alternative' doesn't exist anymore, by the way, it was swallowed up and regurgitated by the music industries marketing moguls to throw stuff at you to convince you that this was music your parents wouldn't approve of....crap! Odds are your folks have/had a better taste in some really deviant stuff you never even thought existed!!
Oh, and don't give me that " Heyyyy, we sidestepped the industry man, and have put stuff out on the net, on our own, voted for by my best bud, his girlfriend and her swotty cousin..we're Indieeeeee, maaaaaan!"....crap, crap, crappity crap...
Anyway, i tire of rant right now, i'll think of something equally, if not more so, derogatory about your beloved top ten favorites hits of all time later....

About this blog
Your music is not a delicate snowflake, in fact it's most probably crap and someone needs to tell you. We will give you honest reviews of bands we've seen or heard.
We want your comments and debate, we're grown up, we can take it.
We all listen to different genres of music and frequently don't even agree whether or not to call what the others to Music.
We do however agree that too many bands out there receive glowing reviews for producing steaming piles of crap. We aim to remedy this unfortunate situation by speaking our minds and not publishing what the music industry wants us to say.
We'll review as many albums and bands as we can listen too and tell you exactly what we think.

The Cynics.
Manik Moon: Profesional cynic, takes life with an extra dose of salt. Non-obsessive music lover, knows what he likes and definately what he doesn't. Won't suffer sacred cows and will usually consume such with a side of chips and a good pint!
Radiation Cow: She has been called a crotchety old lady at the tender age of 24. All of this is due the lack of a proper metal scene, good coffee, god damn scene kiddies and what people are calling Metal these days.
Grumpy Corner Kid: Does all the work in the background, changes to the layout and depriving the other cynics of their coffee so the posts stay as vitriolic as possible. He is also looking for others to contribute their reviews, so post comments. If they're on topic and you show that you actually know something about the music then he'll invite you.
