Things to come over and things to never forgive


Heidi Harris - Quietly (2012) heidiharris.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-lee



Seamus Fogarty - Rita Jack's lament (2011)



Citizens! - Reptile (2012)



Pigs - Give it (from: You ruin everything, Solar flare 11/04/2012)



It's virtually impossible to think of a genre more puerile and pathetic than nu metal. However, as is always the case, even amongst the hordes of talentless, banal and cliché bands that popped in the wake of Fred Durst, there were some good things. Actually, amazing. Bionic jive's debut remains one of the best debut albums of the previous decade. Since then the band has had a fair share of ups and (mostly) downs. Now they return with a new single. Can't say I'm as enthusiastic about it as I was with Armageddon through your speakers, and definitely the video horribly appeals to the target crowd they should have by now abandoned, but, MAYBE, some good will come out of it.
