THE YOUNG KNIVES DEMO KITCHEN

UNSIGNED TRACK OF THE WEEK (AS VOTED BY THE YOUNG KNIVES)

DEATH RAY TREBUCHEY / NUMBER 6

OLIVER: I liked that! It was lively, and although they compare themselves to Gogol Bordello, they're much better than that - even if the drumming was speeding up and slowing down! I couldn't tell what language they were singing, but apparantly it's, eh... English.

LT MEAT / BUILD A FENCE

HOUSE OF LORDS: Lieutenant Meat was strange! I kinda liked the heavy rocking guitar and drums backing track, it sounded like Hot Snake, and their ilk. His vocals sounded a bit unsure and awkward though - a bit like Syd Barrett - over the heavy rock. I couldn't work out if I liked it!

DARK SPARKS / BLOOD PETROL FIRE

HENRY: A bit fey, a bit emotional, some jangly guitars and the singer sounded like his tongue was too big for his mouth. It had some nice changes in it, and not the worst thing I've ever heard. But maybe too serious and crying in your bedroom for me.

DINOSAUR PILE UP / I GET MY DIRECTION FROM

HENRY: I like Dinosaur Pile Up. They have a poppy Husker-Di kind of atmosphere, with nice vocal harmonies. It was stripped back and it sounds quite exciting, and easy to listen to. You could see where the recording let them down, so it just needs a little bit more shimmer, but they could be impressive! First listen? Quite good.

    Editorial incompetence at artrocker.com meant that the wrong Grates track was post earlier.

    Killer blast of pop punk from Auckland's The Sneaks. Stephen Malkmus has left Pavement, recruited Mike Watt on bass, written some songs with Rivers Cuomo and formed The Sneaks.

    If Stephen Malkmus had formed fIREHOSE with Mike Watt and George Hurley, they may have made music akin to Glasgow's COVERGIRLS.  Yes, they're that good.  The band have had a...
