  • law and orderDon’t judge a book by its cover or a band by its promo shot. They might look like wholefood bearded hipsters in their publicity materrial but even less than a considered listen to their third album “Law And Order” reveals there’s a quirky glam-pop heart beating within.

    Ulysses hails from Bath in the middle of England’s West. Now, putting to one side generic Australian jokes that we love so much about Poms and soap, these blokes have been soaking in a tub of diverse influences. The bio cites The Cars, Thin Lizzy (especially), Alvin Stardust (check the label name - ha!), Hot Chocolate (huh?) and Supergrass (of course) but that’s just a start. You could toss in Alice Cooper, The Sweet, The Glitter Band - and a few dozen others.


  • The Handsome Dick-less Dictators have a new video-single out - a cover of The Osmonds' 1972 hit "Crazy Horses". It's among a bunch of songs apparently recorded for a forthcoming album. Thumbs up or down? Leave a comment below and let us know.

Thanks for your kind words Keith. We need more KCs in the world!
Agreed 'IN THE ZONE MICK MEDEW AND URSULA' is a great record, as an old fashioned LP used to sound, ...
ROSHAN Hill posted a comment in Top Tens for 2024: Ken Gormly of The Cruel Sea
Well I am moved and gratified at your zest for life with the overlay of those dark eyes
Tried hard to like them - they were dull - like a bad Sonic Youth - walked out after 40 mins....
The album's absolutely storming. Thankfully, Gone remains the weakest link in their catalogue.
