Towers of London -- Lord Help Us All by Ari Bendersky
take the stage. Just when rock was getting good again, we’re sideswiped with something out of left field that makes you take a step back and scratch your head.
But when you listen to the music, it’s not all bad. With their straight-forward fierce guitar and "ays" and "ohs" and "oys," it makes you think this band is the love (or maybe hate?) child of Guns N’ Roses and the Sex Pistols – with all the attitude and break-your-face bullshit.
Towers of London just signed to TVT Records in the States but have been causing a stir all over England with their balls to the wall antics and tear-up-the-club swagger.
Could this be the second coming of Rotten and Vicious?

Kasabian's Rockin' the House
Kasabian. Their self-titled debut drops on Tuesday, although itís been out in the UK since last fall. These guys, from Leicester in the middle of the country, have a cocksure attitude that rivals the grand swagger of the Gallaghers. Their music reflects both ë60s psychedelia and late ë80s/early ë90s acid house pop in the form of Primal Scream. I saw them a few nights ago...

It's Time to Free the Bees
A Band of Bees wants you to Free the Bees. On their second full-length album, the Isle of Wight duo returns, not only to the fold but also to some classic rock roots. I don’t really remember liking the Bees music in the past, but the first time I put on Free the Bees, something was different. I was immediately drawn in to their...

Cut Copy -- Let's Try it Again
Here’s a case of maybe needing to listen to a CD more than a few times before making a solid judgment call. Or maybe actually believing other music lovers and giving a CD another shot when you’ve written it off yourself. Such is the case with Cut Copy’s Bright Like Neon Love. While listening to iTunes on shuffle the other day, I found myself...

Something Glorious Is Happening
A band has to be hot to sell out a decent-sized venue – in advance – the same week its debut album drops, not to mention selling out in numerous cities. It doesn’t hurt that they played five packed shows at South By Southwest. Nor does being featured in a number of magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly,...

Live: Kaiser Chiefs and The Changes in Chicago
Last Thursday night, Kaiser Chiefs visited Chicago and I have to say, it was sad to see them go. The band stormed the stage at the Double Door, thundered through its hour-long set and left almost as quickly as they arrived. When I got Kaiser Chiefs’ CD a few weeks ago, I wasn’t sure if I was going to write about them (don’t get...
