  Words by Jimmy Glinster   And now comes the time, the time I must review a “Hardcore” band.   You know that genre that came around during the death of Nu-Metal, where every Hardcore band sounded the same, and played the same breakdowns, but didn’t sound anything like what people would traditionally call “Hardcore”. Yeah, you know, that genre that spawned a million and one butt-core sub genres and the introduction of stylised short back and side haircuts in heavy ...

Despite the success that the band has had over the years I have always thought that Seether are a muchly under-rated band. When it comes to hard rock there isn’t much that these guys haven’t achieved, and let’s be honest no hard rock compilation is complete without tracks like Remedy or Fake It being included. As a song-writer Shaun Morgan has always worn his heart on his sleeve – don’t believe me then go back and listen to Broken, and perhaps that becomes even more apparent when you take ...

Nine Days is not an easy film to watch. I also get the feeling it is a film that is going to divide audiences, I could tell that from the Media Screening that I attended where half the people were sitting in bewildered silence during the end credits while the other half were already singing the film’s praises. I’ll be first to admit that Nine Days is a slow-burn but once you connect with the film you will find that it takes on all the aspects of a well-written thriller. Continue reading ...
