StewCat Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 In the early stages of making a zoghurt fanzine-fancy reviewing some local bands. thought id use this feedback forum as a start.Despise & Desire Yourself - Sam BeatonRelesed: 2006 Cost: Cant remember - 2/3 or something.Number of tracks: 9For Anyone who hasnt seen Sam Beaton before - he is an Antifolk/Alternative Acoustic artist from some dodgy outskirt of Aberdeen.His CD 'Despise & Desire Yourself' is raw and honest. Like alot of young song writers i have seen locally really dont have the same grasp of song like Sam has. One moment you look deep into yourself, hypnotised by the soothing guitar and the next your heart races with excitement from the booming upbeat tunes. ofcorse there are a couple of laughs along the way.Tracks worth a mention: Boy who played in Traffic lights, Calmity Project, I feel im gonna die.Anything else: Cool wee A4 page with track list, info, zoghurt/sam beaton website & Short Story.10/10---------------------------------------------------------Maps - DemoCost: umm, think it was a swap for a Holy Folks CDNumber of tracks: 2Must admit i am still to delight my ears and eyes at a Maps gig but after listening to this CD im gonna make the extra effot. First impressions is: Wierd, poppy,Art rock, good times....its music i'd like to drive to. Momories of being at the beach and getting drunk also comes to my head.Really is hard to say anything about this demo other than its really fucking good. Maps are playing the Art school halloween party at the tunnels...i wont miss it!Tracks to mention: Henri got Cancer, RMTCAnything else: www.myspace.com/mapsuk10/10------------------------------------------------------------------now, that was fun.

Guest idol_wild Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Thanks Stew!! Your kind words are appreciated hugely. I still feel I got the better deal out of that swap, though! The last time I saw you was at 3:30AM on a Sunday morning and you were trousered.Me: "Where have you been, Stew?"Stew: "Everywhere...and nowhere"Then you proceeded to hug me until I was blue and repeatedly tell me you loved me. It was probably the best day of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
