Whats New?

Gorillaz Video Screening : Gathered in a small studio in London’s Soho, you have to wonder what could possibly be so impressive about the new Gorillaz video that Britain’s journalists have been shepherded together for a screening. New single “On Melancholy Hill”...

David's Lyre : Masked troubadour, David's Lyre is, like his semi-hidden aesthetic, somewhat of a mystery at present. Although if fairness exists in the world at all...
Frankie & The Heartstrings : Interview : Sometimes, (not often mind), you go to see a band with a vague sense of expectation, born from nothing more than early releases and odd pieces of press, only for, by some twist of fate, this band you considered “fairly decent” until now to prove one of the...
Lunar Youth : Interview : Lunar Youth make the kind of music that makes your heart skip a beat as the emphasis on romance engulfs you in a warm flurry of emotion. It’s really rather lovely. Their nostalgic take on pop, reminiscent of the 80’s penchant for...


Invasion – Moongazer, EP.
Invasion – Moongazer, EP.

Five songs, nine minutes. That's what you see when you load this into your itunes. Immediately I'm thinking, this must be fast and to the point. I'm right, though admittedly I have the advantage of having seen them live twice. 

This EP is really quite something, coming across like the bastard child of Slayer, Black Sabbath and some wailing '70's soul. 

Opening track "Moongazer" starts up with a menacing riff before the drums pound in and the verse rolls. Then the chorus drops. From here on out things go mad, the distortion kicks in the vocals are belted out by their frontwoman and it all sounds… well, incredible. Three Golden Lions, probably my pick of the bunch is one minute and twenty three seconds of stop start thrash that leaves you breathless and gasping for more, while the rest of the record does little to let you stand back and get that much needed breath of air (you might pinch it at the start of Battle Control if you're lucky…). Then it's over and all you do is dash to your record collection (or store if you don't own a copy) for "reign In Blood" which is one of the few records that'll give you the same visceral rush. Alternatively, go check out their stunning live show. It’s quite something, it truly is. Essential.
