With a pound drumline and blasting guitar chords, The Automatic don�t fall
little of roiled out another stadium crowd pleaser. A chanting chorus and
dynamic song structure make it an castigation of bluff rock powerfulness. First single
from the band�s new album This Is A Fix. 4
CHEMICAL BROTHERS � Midnight Madness.
A serial of build-ups that never really reach any tolerant of climax but, if
played tacky enough, I�m sure this would be enjoyed on the dancefloor. 3
TOKYO POLICE CLUB � Graves.
Fast-paced whirl of pure indie genius. The drumline�s great, the ooohs are
not bad, it�s all great. 4
TAIO CRUZ � She�s Like A Star.
Quintessential R&B and there�s nil wrong with that. However, no boundaries
are being pushed by the scene�s UK newcomer. 2.5
GABRIELLA CILMI � Save The Lies.
Disco blue funk number delivered with attitude. It doesn�t live up to last-place hit
Sweet About Me but it�s still an entertaining listen. 3.5
PAUL WELLER � All I Wanna Do/Push It Along.
Double A-side of rocking pop tunes with some great harmonies. The living
legend�s still got it. 4
CUT COPY � Hearts On Fire.
Crazy electro pop with a swooning sax solo. Truly worth dancing to. 3.5
VAMPIRE WEEKEND � Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.
These guys are one of the best up-and-coming bands from the US. If you�ve been
in a coma for the past tense six months and haven�t heard these preppy punks,
now�s the chance to catch up. 4
THOMAS TANTRUM � Work It.
Galloping feelgood guitaring summer indie fandango delivered with spunk rock
fire. 3.5
ALI CAMPBELL/LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO � Many Rivers To Cross.
The Goal4Africa hymn: A psyche reggae graeco-Roman delivered by the former UB40
frontman and the South African collective to get you clapping your hands. 3.5
