INCOMING – Nat’s What I Reckon Book (with easy UK order WITHOUT paying over the odds!)

Posted on by

I am calling it now… I reckon this could be the most sought after “not for kids” year-end gift in a few months.

The book “Un-cook Yourself – A Ratbag’s Rules For Life”, written by Nat from Nat’s What I Reckon is being published at the start of December, as announced in the video below, posted online yesterday.

It is already available for pre-order, but the post on his page is FULL of people outside of Australia struggling to find where they can buy it without incurring massive delivery charges.  It is currently NOT available from Amazon in the UK, nor Waterstones, etc., although I am sure they will want in on this too before long.

The good news is, I have done a little investigation and found an easy and very cost-effective way to get hold of this from one of the big booksellers. £16.29, with FREE delivery from The Book Depository. Continue reading →

ANIHILATED – “Anti Social Engineering”

Remember when you first fell in love with Metallica’s last great album, And Justice For All? What? You didn’t like it? First of all, there’s a chance we can’t be friends, and second, you could well be put off Anihilated’s freshest release, Anti Social Engineering, from the offset. There’s a more diverse character to the long-player, but the riff that primes the album is very reminiscent of that particular moment in the thrash giants’ career, and it echoes on throughout. If ‘the big 4’ had Anthrax switched out for Testament, and were merged into one band, this sound could very well be the result, instrumentally speaking. Continue reading →

The More I See - "The Disappearing Humans"

I’m not really sure how it’s happened, but despite the fact that this is the fourth album from The More I See (featuring the guitar stylings of Gizz Butt – The Prodigy, Janus Stark, English Dogs, Sabbat!), it’s the first one I’ve heard. There are only four tracks from the full-length provided here, but the Earache label have uploaded the whole thing as a series of individual videos.   Continue reading →

DesertStorm

Oxford Rockers Desert Storm are a band that should have already been in my life WAY before I finally picked up on them, but after a experiencing a stunning live performance recently when in tow with Leeds finest Bongcauldron it’s about time to get properly acquainted.

So they have two releases proper, the most recent being 2013’s “Horizontal Life” Delving back further in 2010 they released “Forked Tongues”. Continue reading →
