Nightingales – Four Against Fate UK Tour

11 June 2020Mark

If you already have tickets for any previously announced 2020 Nightingales headline shows (April, September or November!) do not cash them in, these tickets will still be valid. This includes any previously listed 2020 headline gigs in towns not rescheduled for April/May - These will be rearranged for later in 2021. Simply a great rock group who use constantly changing time-signatures and baffling wordplay to create a playful, poetic and rockin’ mix of glam, twang, country, pop and the avant garde that’s in a category and class of its own. LOUDER THAN WAR 10/10 The ‘Gales at times completely defy categorisation and that is very much the beauty of them... ‘Four…

Review: Transglobal Underground: Walls Have Ears — as glorious as ever.

12 May 2020Mark

With swaggering reggae beats to modern Maghrebi, the near-original line-up reunites for a new studio album. Transglobal Underground were ahead of their time. Thirty years ago they rose from the ashes of the underrated indie band Furniture as a fusion of dance and world music, the furrow they have ploughed ever since. A revolving cast of characters have come and gone — the Egyptian-British singer Natacha Atlas, whose subsequent solo albums have ranged from Cairene strings to Arabic jazz; Nick Page, known in his TGU incarnation as Count Dubulah, who went on to Syriana, Xaos and most notably Dub Colossus; Johnny Kalsi of the Dhol Foundation and Imagined Village. TGU were…

Academy Morticians – What Happened? released on Iron Man Records and Who Killed Culture?

4 September 2019Mark

Academy Morticians’ last album, What Happened?, released on Iron Man Records and Who Killed Culture? Records in 2002, was meant to be the final chapter for a band who had already broken up shortly after the recording session but who, all these years later, seem unable to stay dead. Starting life in the mid-90s in a bedroom near Coventry, Academy Morticians was what happened when two teenagers with a passion for Dead Kennedy’s, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, and Bad Religion picked up a guitar and a bass and decided to start a punk rock band. Too political for the pop-punk scene and too poppy for the hardcore scene, Academy Morticians finally…

John Sinclair – Beatnik Youth – Double CD – review by Steve Fly Amsterdam, 2017

13 December 2017Mark

The story of the Beatnik Youth album begins in London. John Sinclair was visiting to perform with guitarist Al Clayton and his band The Dirty Strangers, Gigs organised in part by Ian Grant, including a double bill with Zodiac / Youth. Martin ‘Youth’ Glover came into John’s orbit and found a kindred spirit in John, proposing they work on a jazz project together.   Sure enough plans were laid out for John to travel to Kingston College Of Music in London, to a recording session set up by Youth. The list of musicians in the large room was staggering: George Butler, Hugo Wilkinson and Steven Pratt on drums, Al Clayton and Brian…

Burn Money – Become A Patron of Iron Man Records

3 March 2016Mark

Iron Man Records wants to make all new record releases available on Vinyl. 23 Patrons currently support the record label. You are invited to become a Patron to ensure the insanity continues. The journey from 1996, when Iron Man Records began, has been back-breaking. The record label has generated a mountain of debt and a serious Class "A" drug habit would have probably worked out a lot cheaper. Everything I earn, working as a Tour Manager, goes into keeping Iron Man Records moving and your support would be much appreciated at a critical time. Iron Man Records continues to release records by some of the most interesting and talented artists, writers,…

Your Insanity Will Do – Become A Patron Of Iron Man Records

8 February 2016Mark

I bought a copy of “The Manual” by Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond in 1996. I'd been looking for a copy for years. Some of it made sense, some of it didn't. I liked the writing style and the advice given. I sent my receipt as proof of purchase to the PO BOX printed in the book and requested The Guarantee. This is the reply that Bill Drummond sent back on headed paper. By reply Bill Drummond became the first Unaware Patron of Iron Man Records. Blame him for everything. A lot has happened since 1996. Your Insanity will do. Your Insanity could help Iron Man Records to release more music…
