The minions

This is the second band I’ve reviewed recently that’s aimed for a resurgence of the post-hardcore tunefulness of 80s American bands like Husker Du and the Replacements, a welcome return in my opinion. The Minions do pretty well at it, with Six Chords having a catchy Bob Mould feel, throwing in a noisy horn bit at the end to keep things interesting. Have You Got a Knife has a harder edge which is surprising given the prominence of, I swear, a slide whistle on the verses. This type of thing would make for a nice soundtrack prior to going down the pub or something equally mindless and fun.

You know when you're ugly,
You don't always know you're stupid...
For your deepest sorrows made flesh in the shape of delight, Alabaster's performance is there in bleak and beautiful colours.
It is a theatrical performance with music and song, from an accomplished musician and poet. He's performed, (also accompanying on saxophone the likes of Liz Green, John Fairhurst and Louis Barabbas) on tours around Europe and the 'States, as well as festivals such as Glastonbury and the Edinburgh Fringe.
