Introducing: Hagana

Posted on by

‘Haganah’, according to a quick Google search, refers to a Jewish para-military organisation which began in the early 1900s. I’m not entirely sure of the relevance of this to the band of nearly-the-same name, but in musical terms, Hagana refers to a grungy three-piece from Edinburgh who make tunes that sound like a less experimental, early Biffy Clyro (and no, I’m not geographically stereotyping).

The band are taking their first steps to rock stardom, or just simply, more national awareness, with the release of their debut album ‘One Year‘, out on March 3. In the meantime, they’ve picked up some great feedback from regional press and the general rock blogosphere as well as releasing this nifty little video for ‘Fuzzy Punch‘, which features on their upcoming record.

Canterbury – Think It Over

Posted on by

Just in case you missed it, Surrey rockers Canterbury have just released their third album, ‘Dark Days’, securing the number 1 rock album slot in the official charts last week. Its great news for a band that have really worked hard to build their fanbase and develop their music style over the past nine years.

Having seen them more than a few times back in my old local scene, it makes me proud that they’re doing so well now!

Give them a bit of support by checking out their new video for ‘Think It Over’..

Circle Of Reason – Themes Amongst Thieves

Posted on by

Well we’re over hump day (that’s what they call Wednesday now, right?). I think its time for a bit of comedy to get us through the last stretch of the working week.

For those of you who work weekends, I apologise. In any case, watching Southampton prog-rockers Circle Of Reason challenge OAPs to a war of table tennis should definitely ease the pain..
